What would happen if I swiped my murder weapon thru rack of clothes in a second hand shop?

Unabomber collected hair from public restrooms to sprinkle in with his mailbombs.
I can’t find the link but apparently there was a case of someone riding an escalator with gloves later used in a murder and several people’s DNA being found on the gloves.

I think the police then track down each of these individuals and establish a motive or an alibi.

But DNA alone shouldn’t convict someone.

I think about the Lukis Anderson case every time DNA is used to “solve” a crime.
