If you can't catch them with an exact DNA match, what use will knowing eye colour be? Either there were witnesses who could tell you that or there weren't an it doesn't matter as noboday saw them. |

I couldn't tell you the eye colour of anyone I work with - people I see daily - let alone someone who's committing a crime. I'd have other things on my mind. I suppose it narrows the field of investigation? |

What about people who use contacts to change eye colour and dye their hair??? |

I don't think the test can predict that.
