Two examples that come to mind immediately:
-Similarly incriminating DNA from someone else in addition to the prime suspect.
-Information acquired from the prime suspect himself that points to accomplices.
Maybe. But remember that reality is consistent: If two people were at the scene committing the crime, why would there be vastly more evidence of one than the other?
Once you have the suspect, you can interrogate him to find out who he knows.
