IIRC they didn't get EAs DNA until arrested.

Wonder why or if they asked prior to him being arrested? I remember a witness stating they got CM DNA from a drink can

I don't remember why. I just vaguely remember the unidentified male DNA was a big deal but that's because they didn't get his till arrested. Moo
