Subject: Sending of Pyjamas

The present inquiry investigates the disappearance of Madeleine McCann on 3rd May 2007. I am herewith delivering to the Police Scientific Laboratory a pair of girl's pyjamas.

The Pyjamas are from Marks and Spencers, size 2 to 3 years -97 cm.

The pyjamas are composed of two pieces: camisole type without buttons and half sleeves, pink with designs, letters and tracing in white with (small) floral patterns, the right pyjama bottom leg has a design (smaller size) which is identical to that of the camisole.

The pyjamas being sent are 'equal' in make, model, size, colours and designs as well as presumably the texture, to those the little girl was wearing at the time of her disappearance. The article sent serves for eventual comparisons with fibres collected by the competent officers of the Police Scientific Lab, within the scope of the current investigation.

With compliments

Requesting Party: Portimao DIC of the Policia Judiciaria

NUIPC: 201/070 GALGS

Request number: 189/2007

Examination initiated on 06 May 2007


The report on the collection of blood vestiges carried out on 06 May 2007, from the wall, next to the main entrance of Quinta dos Figos, situated on Rua 1 de Maio, in Praia da Luz, in Lagos, is requested.

Observations and Analyses Made

A team from the Crime Scene section of the Scientific Police Laboratory, composed of the undersigned officers, after a request made by the Portimao DIC of the Policia Judiciaria, went to Rua 1 de Maio, in Praia da Luz, in Lagos, where we were requested to proceed to collect various stains, supposedly haematic that were on the wall and the ground in that street. This collection was within the area of investigation into the disappearance of an English girl.

Here is a map of the scene.

Upon the team's arrival at the scene it was reported to us by the inspectors present that the supposed blood stains were found on a wall and on the ground close to the wall, next to main entrance of Quinta dos Figos

Photo 2 : Panoramic view of the site where the supposed blood stains were found.

Photo 6: Shot of the area of the Quinta dos Figos wall where the supposed blood stains were found.

From the observation made of the wall and its proximities various stains were detected with a brownish red colour which suggested that they could be of haematic origin. These were submitted to tests to detect peroxide existing in the blood using the Kastle-Mayer test, in both cases the reactions were positive.

The stain referred to as vestige no. 3 was further submitted for testing to determine whether the blood was of animal origin, but reacted positively as being human blood.

The blood stains mentioned previously were separated by zones and referenced as vestige no. 1 those being the stains found on the gravel ground, vestiges no. 2 being the blood stains that were found on top of the wall and vestige no. 3 as being the stains that were found on the ground in the area where there cobblestones.

Initially it was proceeded to make a first general observation of the apartment, having verified that it was made up of a kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom.

This was followed by a detailed observation of the interior of the apartment with the aim of proceeding to search and collect forensic vestiges relevant to this examination.

Initially it was proceeded to search for shoe prints or a child's foot prints, but no relevant vestiges were detected for carrying out this examination.

This was followed by a search for biological vestiges, fibres etc., inside the apartment subject to examination.

During this search several hairs were collected from the following parts of the apartment:


2385.jpg

- Various hairs were collected from the kitchen floor, they were placed in a paper envelope, according to the instructions of the Scientific Police Laboratory's Biology Area and were referenced as vestige no. 1B.

- Various hairs were collected from the entrance corridor, they were placed in a paper envelope, according to the instructions of the Scientific Police Laboratory's Biology Area and were referenced as vestige no. 2.

- Various hairs were collected from the bedroom floor, they were placed in a paper envelope, according to the instructions of the Scientific Police Laboratory's Biology Area and were referenced as vestige no. 3.

- Various hairs were collected from on top of the bed in the bedroom, they were placed in a paper envelope, according to the instructions of the Scientific Police Laboratory's Biology Area and were referenced as vestige no. 4.

- Various hairs were collected from the bathroom, they were placed in a paper envelope, according to the instructions of the Scientific Police Laboratory's Biology Area and were referenced as vestige no. 5.

- Various hairs were collected from the living room floor, they were placed in a paper envelope, according to the instructions of the Scientific Police Laboratory's Biology Area and were referenced as vestige no. 6.

- Various hairs were collected from a sofa on the right side of the living room, they were placed in a paper envelope, according to the instructions of the Scientific Police Laboratory's Biology Area and were referenced as vestige no. 7

- Various hairs were collected from a sofa on the left side of the living room, they were placed in a paper envelope, according to the instructions of the Scientific Police Laboratory's Biology Area and were referenced as vestige no. 8.


2386.jpg

The search for eventual haematic vestiges resulted in the detection of various brownish red stains that appeared to be of haematic origin, these were submitted to tests to search for the presence of peroxide existing in blood by means of the Kastle-Mayer test, only one stain, situated on a cupboard door in the kitchen reacted positively.

The stain in question was submitted to testing to determine the animal species of the blood and reacted positively as being human blood.

Given the results obtained it was proceeded to collect the haematic stain, by means of a slightly moistened cotton swab and this vestige was referenced as vestige 1 A.

Photo 8: Detail of the test for the determination of animal species.

The search carried out in the interior of the apartment did not detect the presence of other types of biological vestiges or fibres of interest to the forensic examination.

Finally, observation and search for haematic vestiges inside the apartment was made using a chemical product to search for latent haematic vestiges. In the application of this product no results characteristic of haematic vestiges were found.

Reply to Queries

- We inform you that none of the samples received by this institute were designated as supposedly belonging to the missing girl and we therefore, cannot reply to this query.


- Samples were studied - hair and a piece of cloth - nuclear DNA profiles only being obtained from 4 samples, which upon comparison with the DNA profiles of Kate and Gerry, could not belong to the girl.

- The samples were then studied using mitochondrial DNA analysis, the same was done for the other samples, giving the results in accordance with our report of 9th July No. 2007/000226 LX-BC.

- As requested in point 5, it was determined that the profile obtained by the British lab could belong to a son/daughter of the McCanns.

- The comparison of the profiles obtained in autossomic STR from Kate and Gerry McCann with the profile obtained was carried out.

Requested by:: Portimao DIC

NUIPC 201-07 Galgs

Correspondence number: 3609 of 31st October 2007

Examination initiated : October 2007


Material for Examination

I. Six collection kits of woven fibres which present the following references relating to the area of vestige collection:

1. 'Inferior part of wall' and 'Pip'.
2. 'Superior part of wall' and 'PSP'
3. 'Middle part of wall' and 'PMP'
4. 'Middle part of wall' and 'PMP'
5. 'Superior part of wall' and 'PSP'
6. 'Inferior part of wall' and 'Pip'.

Each kit comes inside an orange coloured envelope, each of these envelopes are inside a paper envelope with the following references, amongst others 'Vestige No. 26, Apartment 5 A, OC resort, P da L. Garden wall of the apartment, 2007/08/02'.


II - A pyjama camisole, pink in colour with motifs stamped and sewn on to the front (the latter of material, buttons and messages) (see photographs 1 and 2). Three labels can be seen, one of them has the following references, amongst others: 'Top 100% COTTON EXCLUSIVE OF TRIMMINGS'.

III - White coloured pyjama bottoms with stamped designs in pink shades (different tones), green and yellow and with a trim at the bottom of each leg (see photo 3 and 4). Three labels can be observed, one of them with the following reference, amongst others 'Bottom 100% COTTON EXCLUSIVE OF TRIMMINGS'.



REQUEST

We request the examination of the samples collected from the garden wall with the aim of carrying out the 'search and identification of eventual fibres and their comparison with the two parts of the pyjamas similar to those the girl was wearing when she disappeared'.

OBSERVATIONS AND TESTS CARRIED OUT

With the objective of identifying the fibres from the searches for samples from the garden wall, it was proceeded to identify the prime material of the pyjamas, from which we had previously collected reference samples from both the top and the bottom. Identification was done using an optical microscope, the following results were obtained:

Pyjama camisole:

The front was made up of white base thread and external pink thread.

- Prime material of the white thread: cotton and synthetic fibre (very pigmented).
- Prime material of the pink thread: cotton (the colouring was not visible by microscope).

The back of the top consisted of pink coloured thread

- Prime material of the pink thread: cotton (the colouring was not visible by microscope).


The Pyjama bottoms:

The material of the pyjama bottoms consisted of white coloured thread.

- Prime material of the thread: cotton

Observations using a stereoscopical magnifier and an optical microscope

With the objective of comparing eventual textile fibres collected from the wall with the fibres from the pyjamas, a search was made of the textile fibres (synthetic white fibres and white and pink cotton fibres) from the samples collected for examination. The search was carried out using a stereoscopical magnifier and an optical microscope, pink and white cotton fibres having been selected as well as white synthetic fibres for subsequent comparison.


Comparison Microscope

The fibres selected were compared to the fibres from the pyjamas using an optical comparison microscope. The following results were obtained:

- No synthetic fibres were detected that were compatible with the pyjama fibres.

- In relation to the cotton fibres, although numerous white cotton fibres were detected in all the samples, in none of them were vestiges detected that enabled discriminatory comparative analyses (such as for example, vestiges of stamping).

CONCLUSION

The analysis of the samples collected from the garden wall of the apartment of the OC yielded the following results:

- No synthetic fibres compatible with the fibres received for comparison from the pyjamas were found.
- Numerous white cotton fibres were found. However, this result should not be considered to be significant, given that according to studies of distribution and persistence of textile fibres it should always be possible to find fibres of different types and colours on any surface, white cotton fibres being very common and without discriminatory parameters.
- In addition, the interval of time that has passed between the events being investigated and the collection of samples (out in the open air) means the existence of fibres from the date of the events is of very low probability.

Note: The material remains archived at the SPL.

Subject: Request for forensic analysis

Within the context of the current investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann on 3rd May 2007.

As it is necessary for the abovementioned investigation and is of a VERY URGENT nature, I request that you proceed to analyse, as quickly as possible, the appropriate analyses of the six Crystal Tabs containing eventual fibres collected by Local Crime Scene Officers (examination 200711732-CR/L and delivery guide 304B/2007 - CR/L) on 1st August 2007 from a wall of apartment 5 A of the OC, these are preserved in the physical area of this laboratory (2007 11800-F1).

It is a case of searching and identifying the eventual fibres and comparing them to the fibres from a pair of pyjamas similar to those the girl was wearing when she disappeared.


For this purpose I am sending the pyjamas and request that the examination be carried out as quickly as possible and that subsequently the pyjamas be returned to this department in order to send them to the forensic laboratory in the UK.

Having noted the existence of two errors in the content of Fax no. 000731 of 26-09-2007, I ask you to take into consideration the following modifications:


In point one where it says examination no. 200707356-CR/L it should say examination no. 200707116-CR/L and in delivery note no. 189/2007/CR/L it should read 'Praia' instead of 'Paria'.


In point two, where it says 'Examine the samples, namely blood, semen or hair. The results of these examinations will be compared with other forensics'. It should say 'Examine the biological samples and their respective DNA profiles'.


We also request that the DNA profiles identified during the forensic tests requested by fax no. 000731 of 26-09-2007 are compared with the DNA profile of Madeleine McCann and the DNA profiles sent to the LPC by the Delegation of the INML within the process 2007/000226/LX-DC in letter 034308 of 4th October 2007.

Received via email from SA Gay on November 20, 2007:

07-6008-1 Genetic data, STR Profile of Madeleine McCann.

Results

Human DNA extracted from item 07-5949.1 was analysed for thirteen genetic loci using the Applied Biosystems AmpFISTR Profiler Plus ID and Cofiler systems. Genetic data for item 07-6008.1 was sent by the FBI.

The genetic data obtained from item 07-5949 was uploaded into the Unidentified Human /Remains index of the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). At the request of the submitting agency, the data obtained from the unidentified remains 07-5949.1 was compared to the data sent associated with item 07.6008.1.

The nuclear genetic data associated with items 07-5949.1 and 07-6008.1 do not match. Therefore Madeleine McCann is excluded as a potential contributor of the unidentified remains associated with item 07-5949.1.

A portion of the remitted remains will be maintained by the UNT Center for Human Identification Laboratory.

21st January 2008

To: Portuguese Judicial Police

Subject: DNA Comparison for victim Madeleine McCann

On 05 November 2007, the Portuguese Judicial Police (PJ) requested the FBI conduct a DNA comparison from the known DNA of victim Madeleine McCann to that of a body of a minor female (since identified as deceased minor victim Riley Ana Sawyers) that washed ashore near Galveston, Texas, USA on or about 04 November 2007.

On 05 November 2007, the FBI's legal attache office in Madrid, Spain forwarded the known DNA sample provided by the PJ to the FBI Field Office in Houston, Texas, USA. Subsequently, the known DNA of Madeleine McCann was submitted to University of North Texas, Health Science Center at Fort Worth, Texas, USA for analysis. This medical facility conducted a DNA analysis and comparison of the known sample of victim Madeleine McCann, and on 06 December 2007 it advised the results were a negative match to that of the body discovered near Galveston.

US law enforcement authorities have since determined the previously unidentified body that washed ashore near Galveston is that of deceased minor Riley Ana Sawyers. Both of the parents of Riley Ana Sawyers have since been formally charged with her murder.

Attached to this report is one photocopy of a DNA analysis report dated 06 December 2007 from the University of North Texas, Health Science Center at Fort Worth, Texas, USA entitled 'Missing Persons DNA Database Report'.

Service Information

To: The Coordinator of the Criminal Investigation, Dr Amaral

From: Inspector Joao Direito


Subject: Collection of eventual vestiges


I bring to your knowledge and following superior orders that today at about 20.00 the Assistant Specialists from the LPC Fernando Viegas and Lino Rodrigues, after seeing the recorded images from the sniffer dog inspection carried out on 31-07-2007 in Apartment 5 A of the Ocean Club Resort, duly explained in the report adjoining the inspection, proceeded to collect the tiles where the dogs used in the exercise signalled the eventual existence of blood vestiges as well as the presence of a cadaver in this same site.

The tiles in question were taken from the flooring with the aim of preserving the eventual vestiges existing there, in order to be subjected for competent laboratory examination.

The procedures were filmed in their totality with the aim of illustrating the way in which the lifting of the tiles was done and the tools that were used, thereby enabling forensic scientists to have a better perception of the circumstances inherent to the action taken. This resulted in the recording of two video cassettes (mini Dv) which are attached.

The LPC officers will prepare the corresponding report.
