btw, this is my guess on why they collected that backpack with an excavator when they found it. Don't want to risk destroying or contaminating any genetic evidence present at the scene. Wouldn't be surprised if they sterilized the excavator shovel before collection as well.
Someone asked me if face recognition/AI will catch the NYC assassin guy. I guess it's possible, but my money is on the DNA (if it's his).
If anyone up to a third cousin (less than 1% shared heritable variation) used 23andme, then have a lead and can start walking the family tree.

Committee advances bill to criminalize nonconsensual transfer or sale of DNA data
AB 17 27 would expand the Genetic Information Privacy Act to make transferring or selling a person’s genetic data without consent a misdemeanor (potentially a wobbler); supporters cited risks from unconsented DNA collection and AI-enabled inferences, while civil‑liberties groups urged caution about carceral penalties.
