There is already a way to do handwriting analysis, footprint analysis, and hair analysis. But what about fingerprint analysis? It emerged in the late 19th century, so it wouldn't be out of time period. Not to mention that adding a manicurist (or another job that would involve fingers) would add another element to the game.

Well actually thinking more about the fingerprint issue, not necessarily so cut and dried...there is always evidence for people who are innocent at the scene. While other evidence narrows down to a group of people, it might narrow it completely down to one person but the trick is does that person have an alibi?

Exactly. It's just like finding a hair- you have to find out whether they have an alibi, etc.
And you technically couldn't get a suspect's hair for comparison either, but we do anyway.

Perhaps fingerprinting could work something like research? With a detective calling into the police station to see if a suspect has a criminal record and was in jail and can therefore be eliminated?

And you can use a supercomputer in your special crime lab to do the DNA matching for you too, regardless of the fact that the first computer was invented during the World War II...
