The detectives found corroborating evidence from the alerts but police are currently refusing to re-test the data using the most modern methods which could determine whether or not the recovered DNA is Maddie. At the time it was done the technology could only provide an inconclusive result which IIRC showed it could be any of Maddie's blood relatives. I may have got that wrong.
Many things are inadmissible as evidence, people get off on bizarre technicalities. Although the alerts are not 100%, hence you cannot convict people on alerts, the DNA recovered could be analyzed again now and give a conclusive answer. This is not being done. The testing has been offered for free. The actual samples are not even needed, only the raw digitalized data.
There is no reason to not do this. I cannot understand.
It would not convict her parents in any case as it could be argued anyone who entered that apartment had attacked the girl and possibly killed her then taken away the body.
