Buccal swabs are great but still doesn't address the issue of blood left at the crime scene. Hypothetically, if there was a mixture of DNA in a patient who'd recently received a transfusion and this patient left blood at a crime scene, it could still complicate the investigation no matter how the DNA is collected from suspects.
