Yep. But, the question still remains: Why ask? It is expensive to test for DNA, and takes space and money to adequately store samples. While I can conceive of - and, indeed, have heard tell of - some agencies ASKING for it whenever they can in order to develop a database, there is little practical reason to do so unless this was a case involving a sexual assault or some form of biological sample was left at the scene of a serious, violent assault. It seems strange to ask in the first place.
