There have been numerous cases solved recently using new DNA technology, some of them over 20 years old.
This is cutting edge, are we going to be rallying against the use of DNA technology if it brings Madeleine's disappearance to a conclusion... No!
It's the only way to solve many of these "witness free" crimes.
Imagine if DNA testing had been around when Marilyn died or when JFK was shot........

Yes but would your progeny? We have to be careful what we wish for.

If there was DNA evidence the Madeleine case would have been solved by now.
