"DNA is our best bet" No, social networks are. More than likely there are people who absolutely know who he is, they just need to see the photo. DNA databases are not necessarily comprehensive, if there aren't people in his lineage who are both registered and who know about/of him, then it won't work.

Put his dna into 23andme and a detailed family chart will emerge. This is the future of crime fighting, or if someone has lost memories.

  Sounds like a future rife for violation of people's rights in my opinion.

    Doesn't sound much different from right now, and at our current rate we have no protections against it happening here in the US.

      Yeah, there's a lot that needs to change in the system. Frankly, it's a terrifying joke at the moment.

It's possible that his family recognized him and just hasn't bothered to say anything publicly. Maybe he burned bridges in his previous life and folks would rather let it go than deal with interviews, etc.
