I think the order went finding the house first and only then were they able to identify the victim (and consequently the offender)

Exactly, it sounds like they didn't know who the girl was from photos alone; "Lucy" was just a name they gave the victim.

You could still run the sofa customers list against a list of known offenders but is there a federal list? Maybe the number of states where the sofa was sold was to large and getting the full list not feasible?
