I believe this is exactly what happened. They submitted his DNA, found a relative and other ancestor info. They researched the relative for family that could have committed the crimes and there he was.
McNamara's book, although in the news, had little to do with anything. There has been a rather large active group on Reddit that has been analyzing this crime, and many others, for many years. Victims and their families have worked hard over the years as well to remind the police the case is still going on.
McNamara's book is certainly getting a big push right now, we are all talking about it, but that is only because of the good timing and some high rollers backing it.
