All of MM’s DNA markers were present on swab 3a.... but then so was DNA from at least two other contributors.. Is it possible we can say MMs DNA was present in the sample? The FSS said the simple answer would be yes but added that this simple conclusion wasn’t possible for them to assert. They described the result as “inconclusive”.
To me, that phrasing makes it sound as if her full forensic profile was found on the swab, which isn't the case.
An incomplete DNA result was obtained from cellular material on the swab 3a. The swab contained very little information and showed low level indications of DNA from more than one person. However, all of the confirmed DNA components within this result match the corresponding components in the DNA profile of Madeline McCann. LCN DNA profiling is highly sensitive it is not possible to attribute this DNA profile to a particular body fluid.
There is no evidence to support the view that Madeline MCCann contributed DNA to the swab 3B.https://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/MADELEINES_DNA.htmAs I've posted before, in one of Amaral's numerous interviews, he was asked how many components were found. He said 5 (although I have no idea where he got that information from and I've never found anything in the files to substantiate the quantity). I'd be very surprised if any one of us here doesn't have as many in common with her.
And there were none found on 3b (they use one wet swab and one dry one).
