Why was that hold back evidence?

I think there could be multiple reasons, a big one being that police don't give all details of crimes they are investigating. They also wouldn't have known the results of the DNA testing for a little bit after it was collected, and once it was confirmed what they found I bet they kept tight lipped so they wouldn't jeopardize the eventual trial.
Also I don't think finding DNA in a burn is considered finding the bodies. There isn't a classification of 'technically' finding a body, they have DNA from the bodies but they don't have actual bodies. The crown is trying to prove that they are dead and didn't just disappear and run away, which is why they have been asking the witnesses if they have had any contact with them since their disappearance.
