We now know that if a factory operative sneezed over a garment, or quickly wiped their fingers on it, then packed it- DNA would be on the garment.

Ah, but this DNA hit was found on two different garments - on a mixed blood stain on her underwear AND twice on her pajama thighs. The odds that a single male employee handled both garments and managed to get his DNA in all three places on both garments where the investigators looked seems extremely unlikely. It seems even more unreasonable to assume that the DNA detected in the blood stain was not related to the person whose blood it was.

Thank you for your well informed and balanced reply. I would be only too happy to see the final identification of that DNA. I am mindful of the agony of the Scottish couple whose daughter vanished in Portugal. To have this nightmare tragedy be turned into accusations must be the most awful and unwanted addition.

That DNA will stand as an answer- one way or the other.
