Also I wish they still kept the adult pubic or arm hair found on her. That is certainly the perps hair

My understanding is there's a strong chance that public hair came from the person who was in the body bag before her

Yeah, '83 was a different era. DNA was years away. All they could do with a hair was morphology. And there was less understanding of the transference of trace. Nobody wore Noddy suits in '83 at a crime scene. It was probably an enlightened force that even wore gloves if they weren't forensics techs.

Sadly possible, though I believe even though they did not do DNA yet, they treated hair as important evidence back then - so it is hard to believe it came from an officer or the body bag. But who knows

If the sample was around it could at least answer that.
