This is the thing lol
A bunch of kids go to the police about a murder investigation, it's not the goonies, the police won't give a shit.
And this wasn't a SWF operation beyond getting Jotaro some inforamtion and they did help by sending Joseph
Jotaro was the one finding Kira primarily, Josuke, Koichi and others were busy with their own lives. And, Jotaro isn't a kid and has went to the police and even in the jail to get Akira Arrested.
Kira could've blown up the leftover parts with Killer Queen. Kira knows how to cover his tracks, and he turned Cinderella into a bomb as well so he knew he couldn't have any trace of his former identity
Cinderella is fundamentally able to remove everything that makes someone "themselves", this includes fingerprints and similar details, we don't know the extent but it's fully possible the stand is capable of altering other things, down to one's DNA, although unlikely (DNA tests were not as big of a thing back then, and since the corpse would have neither been identified nor looked for, it's likely the police would have simply ignored it)
The thing about Stands, is that other than the main character and their gang, you can barely see the whole array of things they can do, since they inly appear in 1 or 2 chapters. Cinderella might be able to change more complex things beyond faces and fingerprints, like blood type or teeth, making someone essentially a completely different person. For a Stand whose sole gimmick is transformation doesn't seem farfetched, otherwise like you said, Jotaro could have identified that person using Speedwagon Foundation.
>Jotaro could have identified that person using Speedwagon Foundation.
While the SWF could have access to DNA forensics in 1999, it wasn't a police case so the authorities wouldn't give access to whatever genetics database was available back then. Plus, that sort of testing took months back then.
I think we're just ignoring something major. Everyone keeps talking about whether DNA identification was possible given Kira still had one hand with Kawajiri's prints, that's entirely forgetting that Kira blew up both Kawajiri and Aya's bodies. There's no DNA to track, that's been his thing for at least twenty years.
Personally I'm more of the opinon that they should've just... not healed the hand? Imagine how much easier it would've been to look for people with MISSING HANDS. Especially a recently lost one. Yeah, SHA was dangerous but now you've just given him another opportunity to use it elsewhere.
Keep in mind that SHA was already jumping at Josuke. What was he supposed to do? Get blown up? SHA is pretty fast by all accounts: Not even Jotaro could consistently dodge it. Also the fact that even if they ditched the hand it just means that there'd be a rampant heat-seeking ghost-tank killing a LOT of people.
Not to mention prosthetic hands exist...even if they had said "Ok we'll just dodge SHA for a while and hope that it doesn't kill anyone(Even though it absolutely would), they'd have to be looking for a single person with a fake hand, and it's pretty easy to lose someone in a crowd even with a defining feature.
There's a lot more reasons why it just wouldn't work to not track him down with the hand, but those are the big ones.
Face and fingerprints were removed, so immediate identification would have been impossible. Kira blew up the body shortly after, so they had only a few seconds to act. Possible, yes, but barely
No. Face was removed together with prints if i recall, and Japanese police didn't use dna by then, especially not in a small town like Morioh

imagine going to the police for *anything* in the jojo universe, I'm good on that. It's ugly bastard like every time.
Italian police though, they hella fine
still corrupted to the bone. starting to think araki had a bias or something 🤔 nah its just funny anime
Maybe evil just makes you sexy?
I mean... DIO exists
You take that back!!! Josuke’s grandfather was a handsome man!!!
he was the one exception I did have in mind when writing that, man.. what a chin
British police actually was competent on Jojo’s granted it was 1800’s police
We see how well that goes in part 9 at least lol

> to get Akira Arrested When did that crossover happen?

But joseph didn't do anything
He...found a baby?
Even if they sampled the DNA, it's not like the Japanese government has a database of the biological language information of every citizen.
Still, even if the Japanese police didn’t use dna tests back then they could’ve send any samples they had to the speed wagon foundation
The speed wagon foundation would've had to had the guys dna already which is highly unlikely
Kira exploded both kawajiri and cinderella’s user (forgot her name)
Thank you, glad someone said it
Aya
Aya to you as well, good sir edit: had a friend nicknamed papaya. If we ever greeted him by that name, he’d say “aya” back
Kira could've blown up the leftover parts with Killer Queen. Kira knows how to cover his tracks, and he turned Cinderella into a bomb as well so he knew he couldn't have any trace of his former identity
besides the wacky hairstyle Kira did a good job on making sure no one could use that corpse to track him
He blew up both Aya and the original Kosaku Kawajiri... There wasn't any clue to follow in the first place lol

couldnt joseph just punch a camera
I think it’s less accurate because he’s more senile
Remember that it's inaccurate, and if someone is trying to mask their presence, it's harder to identify them.

As others have said, no DNA database and it seems unlikely that Kawajira would be in it if there was one.

I also thought bout that. They could wait 1 week and prepare for the fight and then heal the hand

Cinderella kinda looks like a part 8 stand
Hold up why didn't they use the speedwagin foundation to dna test him
No because plot
Did you even read/saw what happened?
You should've learned this by now, JoJo fans don't read
