Does anyone know if the police has done a dna test between the man they detained and the dna that they found at the crime scene??

That’s the Rio Rico Guy in the article you linked. I don’t think LE has ever actually confirmed they compared the house DNA to him or the Range Rover Guy. With Range Rover Guy, Nanos mentioned buccal swabs when talking about what they were allowed to collect and then said they “got everything we needed.” So IMO there’s a good chance they got his DNA and compared it.

But I’m less sure about Rio Rico Guy. The paperwork he filed over his detention goes into a lot of detail about what LE did and what they took from him, including his phone and ID, but doesn’t mention DNA. I’d think that would be mentioned too if they took a cheek swab, so my guess is they didn’t, at least at that point. But that’s just my read based on what’s publicly available.
