Findings in Madeleine’s case stir controversy. More DNA tests ahead?
New findings in Madeleine’s case bring unexpected results, this time complicating the McCanns’ position. A team of police ’sniffer’ dogs found suspicious traces of odour in the keys of a rental car that had been used by the McCanns a few weeks after Madeleine vanished.
British news sources commented that Portuguese police thinks this evidence may indicate that the girl’s body was relocated using this car. In addition, the dogs also found traces of blood in the trunk of another car, allegedly belonging to McCann’s acquaintances. These developments feed newer hypotheses suggesting that the McCanns are somewhat involved in Madeleine feared death. The immediate question these developments raise is whether the new evidence would be subject to forensic DNA testing to confirm that a body was indeed carried in these cars and if so, establish the identity.
