The fbi estimates they can use dna evidance to single dowm the possible people to 2 or 3 out of the entiriry of the us

i am not sure what you mean by this sentence, but you probably misunderstood something.

dna doesn’t single down anything, as in it would help you track something. it tells you if two genetic profiles are a match (that means they come from same person), or that they are genetically similar and how distant they are - that tells you that the profiles come from x times removed relatives. after that, it is down to normal police work.

here is veritasium video about how they used this technology to find and convict the infamous golden state killer - piped.video/watch?v=KT18KJouHWg
