For every person who "gets closure" there's another who had moved on and didn't want that crap dredged back up. Solving cold cases for the sake of solving cold cases does not have enough benefit to society to be worth the invasion of privacy.

With the statue of limitations applying to crime, the only crimes that would be dredged up are "heinous crimes" such as first-degree murder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statute_of_limitations#Heinous_crimes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statute_of_limitations#Heinous... I'm not surprised that a murderer wouldn't want that "crap dredged up", but maybe the family might feel differently? I still don't think they should be dragnetting DNA databases for relatives, however.
