Original Note:
Thomas Crooks had not been carrying ID, so investigators used DNA and facial recognition technology to identify him. The FBI's Next Generation Identification (NGI) system maintains biometric data for criminal identification purposes. This is not a secret, and is legal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3gw58wv4e9o https://le.fbi.gov/cjis-division/cjis-link/ngi-officially-replaces-iafis--yields-more-options-and-investigative-leads-and-increased-identification-accuracy
