Police have not revealed how they acquired the DNA, saying only that they got it during the course of their investigation.
It is also not clear exactly how the DNA was used to build the profile.
Marcotte vanished on an afternoon run while on a visit to the home her mom Rosanna, lived in off Brooks Station Road. Marcotte lived in New York.
Her naked body was found at around 8.20pm in woodlands near the home.
She had been sexually assaulted, and her hands, feet and part of her head were burned.
It's believed she was killed some time between 1pm, when she left her mom's home, and 4pm.
Marcotte's shocking murder left her family shattered, they said in towards the end of last year.
Her uncle, Steven Therrien, read an emotional statement at a church in the town on December 31, asking for help finding the young woman's killer.
'It has been more than four months since Vanessa was tragically taken from us,' Therrien said.
'Not a day goes by that we don't reflect on the enormity of our loss. She had already achieved much but we know she had much more to do.
'She was a loving caring intelligent young women who had her whole life ahead of her.'
