It doesn't say anywhere that the blood in a cardboard frame received by the FSS was actually from a heel prick test. I think many people assume that is what it could be. This blood reference sample was received by the FSS in October 07 according to the files, unless its a typo/mistake. I dont know who supplied it and from where, it doesnt say.

In any case, the control dna profile used seems to be the one taken from the pillowcase which makes sense as it was confirmed to be Madeleine's (as it was from a female child of the Mccanns and not Amelie's). And the dna profile from the blood did match that from the pillowcase.

Hope that makes sense.

Yes you are right Inspectorfrost, there is nothing in the files which confirms what the blood sample actually was. Also, the blood sample didn't materialise until after the forensic tests and reports were concluded.

It's not very clear from the report, unless I'm mistaken, whether the pillow case sample was in fact used as a control sample to compare against the samples found, I think we all just assume it was.
