If you are looking for the name of the person who actually discovered, and photographed, the double helix configuration of the DNA molecule, for which Mr. Watson and Mr. Crick took total credit, it was Rosalind Franklin who received no credit whatsoever.
She was shunned once again when the Nobel Foundation, in 1962, handed awards to the two "discoverers" as well as British colleague, Maurice Wilkins, but omitted her because, according to them, they do not bestow awards posthumously - this despite the fact that her discovery was, by that time, universally known within the scientific community.
Experimental proof of the discovery was later provided by American biochemist, Arthur Kornberg.

Did Watson and crick employ scientific methods in their work in determining the structure of DNA?
Yes how else would they
If Watson and crick had not discovered the structure of DNA would bio technology be 20 years behind where it is today?
It is unlikely. Several people were working in the same field at the time. Had it not been Watson and Crick then it is more than probable that the structure would have been discovered by someone else within a fairly short time frame.

What was Rosalind Franklin's main contribution?
Rosalind Franklin is best known for her X-ray crystallography image which were key in figuring out the structure of the double helix, credited to Francis Crick and James Watson and Brian Wilkin. She also helped the project by offering her opinion on the previous structures Crick and Watson and Wilkin created (the rumor is that when she didn't say anything about the double helix, Crick and Watson realized that they could be correct). Franklin played a monumental part in the discovery which led to a Nobel Prize, but she wasn't eligible to win because she was dead due to complications from ovarian cancer at the age of 37 by the time it was awarded (prizes aren't awarded posthumously, nor for more than three recipients). She was also know for being, for lack of a better word, a bit of a cow (thanks, in part, to Watson's depictions of her in 'The Double Helix'). The famous X-ray crystallography image [related links]
