Zron ,

I hate to say it, but there’s a better way to eliminate suspects based on our current DNA technology.

If all your suspects are black, and the dna is from a someone with Irish heritage, it’s probably not any of the black people.

Trying to reconstruct someone’s face seems really inaccurate, considering I have the same DNA as I did 10 years ago, but I’ve had high school friends who have walked passed me without recognizing me because I lost a lot of weight and grew a beard since they last saw me.

As much as racial profiling is shitty, it’s way easier to tell someone’s ethnicity from dna than it is to reconstruct their whole face. You can then use that to narrow down a list of suspects, similar to how we used to use blood type analysis before dna was a thing.
