Well neither his nor her DNA was found anywhere ever to support anything they have been accused of.
No, Ian Huntley murdered two girls in his home and no trace of them were found there. He was still convicted. Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence and both were cleaning up the place anyway.
You seem to think that because a crime didn't occur the way you expected it to occur, it therefore couldn't have occurred and that's not how it works, sorry.
DNA isn't required for a conviction, long before DNA profiling & testing was invented, people were still convicted for crimes such as rape and murder.
Gary Heinz Jnr slaughtered eight people in a cramped trailer home via bludgeoning and left none of his DNA at the cs.
In my country Mark Nash committed two double murders by stabbing and bludgeoning and mutilating the victims and left none of his DNA at either crime scene.
Dassey and Avery aren't special and don't get the burden of proof bar raised just for them.
