Bodily Fluids - Not Blood - In McCann Car

Bodily fluids - not blood - matching Madeleine McCann's DNA have been found in the car hired by her parents, according to sources.

The sample was taken from the boot, where the spare tyre is kept.
It had an 88% match with the missing four-year-old's DNA, sources said.
Police searching the car also found so much of Madeleine's hair that it could not have been transferred from a blanket or clothes.
It must have come directly from her body, sources said.
The information came from senior sources in the investigation who briefed Portuguese journalists.
It follows last night's revelation by Sky News that detectives had found DNA evidence that Madeleine's body had been in the boot of the hire car.
Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt said: "The Portuguese press reports have been reasonably accurate in reflecting what's going on in the thoughts, and the direction, of detectives.
"It sounds like what we reported last night is being born out."

The news comes as Portuguese prosecutors received all of the files of evidence on the McCanns from police investigating the four-year-old's disappearance.
The prosecutors are now expected to review reports of three samples of Madeleine's DNA found by detectives.
They will then decide whether to charge the McCanns with an offence.
Sky sources said last night that a full DNA match to Madeleine was found in the boot of a car hired by Gerry and Kate McCann five weeks after their daughter went missing.
"Police say it is the most damning evidence that has been returned by the tests," said Brunt.
As prosecutors analyse the evidence, Mr and Mrs McCann are enduring the tense wait for news at their home in Rothley, Leicestershire.
Both have been named by police as suspects in their daughter's disappearance on May 3 in the Algarve.
Family spokesman Brian Kennedy, who is Madeleine's great uncle, said of the family: "They are holding up extremely well."
