Max McLean was one of two police officers sent to interview Hewlett in Germany after Hewlett was in the public eye regarding the Madeleine McCann disappearance.
I note that Ronald Castree was convicted of the Molseed murder based solely on DNA results provided by the Forensic Science Services (FSS).
Lesley's clothing had been destroyed, however FSS claimed to have found Castree's DNA on a piece of tape they said was used to swipe Lesley's clothing.
I also note that in the Madeleine McCann case there are serious questions being raised about the British Forensic Science Service's handling of evidence.

Details
Extracted from the hair. Madeleine McCann’s DNA was extracted from several residues that were collected at the apartment. Among them, hair that was found on the little girl’s brush and also saliva that was collected from the pillow.
19. In Portugal, the collection of 19 genetic markers is demanded for the determination of paternity. But in other countries, like the USA, only 12 are demanded.
15. On the residues that were collected from the rented car's boot after the disappearance, 15 genetic markers that are identical to Madeleine were found.
Traces of a crime
Two dogs that are specially trained to assist in criminal investigation detected cadaver odour in the McCanns' bedroom, in the living room, on Kate's clothes, on the little girl's soft toy and on the car key, as well as blood traces in the car boot and in the apartment's living room.
Theoretical contamination possible
The second report from the English lab, which was sent after the child's relatives were made arguidos, raises theoretical doubts that end up annulling the first conclusions.
The technicians say that if the residues that were collected are from one single source, then they belong to Madeleine. But if they were contaminated with DNA from Kate or Gerry (who present genetic resemblances because they are the biological parents), they may not belong to the child. Apart from that, according to the experts, the obtained results are so complex that they do not allow for an absolute reading.
