It could also narrow down the list of suspects. From there, additional investigation can find more evidence. Having access to big data can help this.

Yup. In a court of law, the value as evidence is going to be weighted fairly low, even with expert testimony. It may be enough to get a warrant, or a piece in the process of deduction during the investigation phase.
