My story is set in October 1988 (Paris) so DNA profiling was just getting started from what I've read. I would like to know if it would be probable that the detectives in my story would have this technology available or if it may have not been widespread yet?
It doesn't break my story either way whether it's available or not. It just would seem foolish if they didn't use the technology if it is indeed available to them.
Also, the sample is from the saliva of the deceased victim. Her lipstick is smudged from a kiss just before she was killed.
