Thank you, Brietta. Do you know anything about this part? A TINY SCRAP of blue material held in the vaults of a Portuguese forensic lab could provide the vital link between German suspect Christian B and Madeleine McCann.
The material was taken from the bedspread on 4th May by the team from from the Police Science Laboratory because there was a slightly positive reaction to a semen test.
It was taken from the bed under the window, not from Madeleine's bed as the Sun claimed. It was sent to the Lisbon Office of the National Institute of Legal Medicine.

They must have included the piece of bedspread because, as already mentioned, it was the FSS which decided it wasn't semen, it was saliva belonging to a small boy who stayed in 5A before the McCanns did.
