This is what i was saying to brian the other day, Sibling DNA is so similar.
I just think the forensic was so haphazard that even if they did find good evidence it might be hard to justify it in court as it looks like a lot of cross contamination went on during the search. Ive got a forensic science degree so i know how easy it is to muck up a science especially if you dont know what your doing, its nothing like those CSI programs where they swan in and have no protective gear on.
Any decent lawyer could easily shoot down the forensic science evidence if its too minute.

I mean I don't know much about what happens to the body after death but surely there wouldn't be blood about at that point? And for that matter how would there be blood if she was just overdosed anyway?
