The police still have the tool, they just need a warrant to use it
How could one get such a warrant? Could a warrant be issued to permit cross-checking all cellphone numbers present nearby location A from 6/1/17 through 6/20/16 and all cellphone records nearby location B from 10/16/2017 through 11/2/2017 to compare for matches because homicide victims were found near both locations at around those times and both victims had "here's your sign" carved into their butts?
Are you really worried that if four matches had been found that those four 'presumed innocent' folks might have further search warrants issued or be interviewed by police? Obviously. if the matches ranged into the hundreds that would be dropped as interesting yet useless information to aid in the criminal investigation.
