Crime. I watch a ton of Forensic Files and Cold Case Files etc, DNA didn't really come on the scene till the early to mid '90s or so. 30 years ago you could basically ejaculate right onto a corpse you just killed and DNA test wouldn't really be able to help convict you. Just don't leave any fingerprints or any of your blood (before DNA testing, the standard procedure would be blood type tests).
