If the guys dna was under her fingernails on night of, he's had a bad day

That's true, and if that is the person who did it, I hope it serves to convict them, I am just afraid that some random smaple of DNA off of some object in the apartment might lead to the wrong person.

How long before we live in a "Minority Report" scenario where you can be arrested before you commit the crime, based on your DNA profile? DNA should only be used when a crime is committed because there are just too many things that could go wrong with people submitting their children's DNA into a database.

Praying that this DNA will find Faith's killer.

I understand that and generally agree. However I do have reservations given how much corruption has been uncovered with crooked DAs and crooked cops.

I hope they find the murderer of this beautiful young woman. I imagine it is heart breaking time and time again for the family when they get a little more information. Prayers to her family and friends.

This is probably not a popular idea, but I think as babies are born, when applying for a social security number, you have to submit your babies DNA and the parents. Just makes sense for the future to have a data base like that of SS, not just for criminal conduct, but in case your baby is snatched, switched at birth, or any number of horrible things that can happen to kids. Also, when you apply to come into America, and when you register for the selective service, and....etc. It would fix this problem and deter crime at the same time! just saying!

"what is the "profile" so we citizrns can be on the lookout (BOLO) for him"

Things like the story said, I guess -- behavior before versus after the murder, lived nearby, knew her, made comments about her to close associates.
