There are 2 databases: CODIS is one; the sets of genotypes from everyone sampled by BPD or the DA's office and available to Keenan and company make up the other. Perhaps it would help to be specific about which database is being referred to.

My point in the previous post was that K & C should have been able to compare Ramseys, Oliva, Colfax, McReynolds, etc., etc. to the perp's good CODIS-eligible genotypes by now. If anybody under the big umbrella were a match, there would be no obvious reason to submit the perp's good CODIS-eligible genotypes to CODIS. I am not suggesting that they would think anyone else's DNA (anyone else who might be under the umbrella) to be in CODIS. K & C don't have to submit Oliva's genotypes to CODIS to compare them to the perp's, for example. They can do that right there in perfect city.
