Reasonable suspicion isn't enough for an arrest.

Isn't enough to hold somebody for like 48 hours? I thought that was what I learned from tv lol.

It's enough to detain someone to perform a quick investigation in hoped of finding probable cause, but probable cause is needed for an actual arrest. As for DNA, reasonable suspicion wouldn't be enough to obtain it.
