I think DNA evidence is comparable to fingerprints left at the site. I don’t believe it requires a warrant to lift exemplars at a crime scene and compare them to database collections at state and federal levels.

My concern is not the DNA from the crime scene, but the mechanism used to identify a suspect for further investigation and obtain a sample to compare. There was no DNA match in any state or federal database, or apparently anywhere else.
