The good thing if they do have DNA is if this guy is picked up for any felony in many states he will get swabbed and added to CODIS. I wish I remembered the name but I read about a case from the 90s that was recently solved because the detectives ran the DNA every couple of years and finally got a hit. IMO it might be very hard for a predator to go very long without getting nabbed for something.
This link is a little old, from 2013. It does list the states where DNA collection is done upon arrest. Indiana, as we know, now mandates DNA collection upon felony arrest. I am not sure if the other states shown in white ( no DNA collection laws) have now made it mandatory.

It would not surprise me if the was from one of the states where DNA collection is not mandatory. MOO and only MOO, but I believe he has killed before and will kill again.
I would be interested to know if Canada mandates DNA collection upon arrest. Canada is not that far a drive to Indiana, going through Michigan. Can any Canadian WS members supply the answer?
