I know this is not likely, but I'm curious if his DNA could be tied to some of the scenes due to innocent LE interaction with these people, like interviewing them, and thus he's been wrongly identified.

No. They said he was fired from the PD for stealing stuff (dog repellent).

I am not sure how they zeroed in on him because even though they had DNA, they had no one to match it to (no one in the criminal database). The Cop said at the presser that they had been following him for a while recently and ended up obtaining his DNA by pillaging through his trash (a common tactic they use when they can't get a warrant).

The question is what made them suspicious of him in the first place. I don't know if he was an original suspect back in the day (I doubt it).

He's being tried in Ventura County, where supposedly the strongest and best preserved DNA evidence is. He was never a LEO in Ventura County.
