Madeleine McCann trial - why no DNA test?

[AlansKey]

Why haven’t all parties agreed to a proper and official and binding DNA test?

Is Kate McCann rejecting the chance of Julia Wandelt being Madeleine based only on the basis of her saying “I think I’d recognise Madeleine”?

I think they have done one. And she’s absolutely not related.

Why should they have too?

Why are you peddling conspiracy theories?

What benefit would there be to Sky News to do that?

The longer they can keep this going, the longer people will keep watching. If they say "This person isn't Madeline" then a bunch of people go watch Corrie instead.

It benefits them to keep the story going as long as possible. So if they can do that without outright lying, they will.

@VimesandhisCardboardBoots good point, I hadn’t considered that

Madeleine mccann, if sge was snatched at all, was not taken to be nurtured.If that was the motive they would have taken one of rhe younger ones

It's literally one person, every 15 minutes???

I would personally WANT to prove what I was saying is true, the drama is all attention seeking from BOTH parties, total sham!

She would say that it wasn’t a good test or the lab were in on it or some other bollocks. You can’t reason with people with mental health problems like that.

And you know this how?

I always find this a really odd argument. If you killed your own child, why on earth would you keep courting publicity and asking for more investigations? You’d just want it all to go away and quieten down.
I don’t believe they harmed her. They shouldn’t have left her (although interestingly at the time I knew people who had stayed at the same resort and said that was quite common). I think she was abducted.

Totally. She is a very unwell young lady. She would just say that "they" have fiddled the test, corrupted it, swapped samples etc etc etc.

She’s not on trial for ‘being Madeline’ or not, the judge has expressly said it’s not the jury’s job to decide if she is or if she isn’t. She’s on trial for some nasty stalking shit.

The Polish woman is stalking them. It has nothing to do with her pretending to be someone else (and this is at least the second person she has pretended to be).

I was thinking the other day, how certain could you be that you'd recognise your own child who you last saw when they were 3?
I think it's very likely that you would recognise them. I recognise children that my DC ( all 25+ now) were at nursery with. I can spot the younger siblings of children I taught 10 years ago when they turn up in my class at the beginning of the new school year. Girls' faces change less than boys' faces, and I'm pretty sure I would recognise my own child.
I think if the McCanns had been the people responsible for her disappearance, they wouldn't keep the story in the news.

Hitchen's Razor: What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

As is the Cardiff woman. No idea what her angle is.

This woman is not the same age as Maddie
she has made claims that she is several other missing children
she altered photos to try and make herself look like the McCanns
she’s like other stalkers - obsessed / inadequate / fixated / attention seeking nutter

There was dna evidence that she is her actual polish mother and father’s child. She is not madeleine. She is just unwell.

Polish police invited her in for an interview 22 May 2024 in Labone headquarters

Her blood and DNA were tested and her birth certificate examined. Born August 20th 2001, making her 21 Months older than Maddie

She has the same blood as her father, and her parents are her full parents.

The information was passed to the Met Police

Exactly. It was the met's job to investigate it and confirmed to the McCanns that she was not Madeline, so a DNA test was unnecessary. She clearly has significant mental health reasons. The Cardiff woman has been shown to be a conspiracy theorist who believes the McCanns murdered Madeline.

They have been stalking and harassing them for years and it must have been horrific.

I really want to say this; there is no Polish DNA.
Those ancestry tests just compares your results to the nationality and self-identification of other test users who have taken the same test. I did one test on MyHeritage and got 88% Scandinavian and 12% Western European. Took the same result to another site that compares your results with users who have usen a wide range of companies. Suddenly I had almost 15% Eastern european result, not as high as before percentage of Scandinavian and Western european (but still the majority). I also had 2% native Arctic DNA and 1% Pakistan. (I also had a 15% Celtic match when looking at some other parameter/likelihood, but historically somehow).

I am just saying it seems really dumb to not have a DNA test and compare it to this woman and see if they match or not. If they don't match, then she might actually stop contacting them.
In my opinion she looks alike Madeline's sister Amelie. Not so much the photo from before she went missing though.
