If you are referring to the open window and shutter as evidence of an intruder then that is not supported by the forensics.
There is the absolute nonsense which was reported and easily still found online of which not a shred was true ...
BloodThere is also the evidence of a "partial footwear mark" found just outside Madeleine's bedroom which had traces of blood in it visible to the naked eye, according to a forensics report.
Laboratory tests in Birmingham were inconclusive but found there was a "moderate" chance the blood was the youngster's. There were also specks of blood said to be on the walls of the bedroom, but forensic results have been inconclusive.
http://www.mccannfiles.com/id21.htmlBut there is not so much about what was
actually found in the first and undoubtedly most important forensic tests taken in the apartment shortly after Madeleine's disappearance.
If these initial tests were inadequate or botched the potential damage to resolving Madeleine's case is immeasurable.
I don't know if the technology of the time would have allowed for DNA to be recovered from the inadequate or smeared fingerprints ... but how difficult would it have been to have stored the glass and shutters where the prints were found (I believe they may have retained Malinka's furniture?) particularly as they did remove the window frames at one stage.
One can only surmise that the lack of a report detailing what was found or not found on the outside of the glass can mean only one thing, and that is that no further dusting of the glass occurred.
One can hardly expect evidence of an intruder to be found if no-one bothers to look for it in the first instance,

Report by Joao Barreiras, Assistant Specialist 2007/05/04 At apartment 5A, Ocean Club: Inside glass of the window in the children's bedroom. Five prints were recovered; three of the middle finger of the left hand and two of the index finger of the left hand of the mother of the missing child.
Only the inside of the glass was examined at this time due the fact that it was night and the location was sealed until there was sufficient light to allow the examination of the residence to be completed.

At apartment 5A, Ocean Club:
- Side of the patio door:
One adequate print recovered but not matched to known persons.
- Outside of one patio door:
Eight inadequate prints were recovered.
- Outside of [the other] patio door:
One inadequate print was recovered.
- Outside of the external blinds to the children's bedroom:
Three inadequate prints were recovered.
Report by Irene Trovão, Assistant Specialist 2007/05/18
This morning Officer Silva delivered various fingerprints belonging to his officers who were on duty at the apartment on the night of 3 – 4 May 2007.
These were compared to the finger print which was identified as being that of Nelson Filipe Pacheco da Costa of the Lagos GNR.
Five fingerprints belonging to Kate McCann were found on the
inside of the window, which isn’t unusual for someone who was residing in the apartment. But these are not the
only fingerprints that were found. The fingerprints report also mentions three inadequate fingerprints found on the outside of the shutters. The report doesn't mention the outside of the window and the inside of the shutters ever being examined or the doorknobs. (end quote)
