A vested interest can be financial, it can be public image, it can be power, it can be personal honour, it can be any number of things.BobTheDonkey used the phrase “vested interest,” which implies financial gain and which he can explain.
I think you're jumping too quickly to the conclusion that "vested interest" is only "financial gain".
With respect to discussing the door, the signers of the letter were indicating one possible route of DNA transfer from Sollecito.
They spoke in non-technical terms of Sollecito's DNA on the bra clasp and in technical terms of the Double DNA Knife.
My question was: who "engaged" them? I admit that's an open term, because I and we don't know the terms and constraints of that engagement - was it a contract? was it a personal request? was it an act of charity (yeah, right), and if so, who did Johnson ask for data? what data? why didn't she include mixed DNA samples of Meredith and Amanda in her review?
Are you aware if Johnson approached Stefanoni? Does Stefanoni know who a certain Elizabeth Johnson is?Sara Gino told ABC news that the prosecution was not forthcoming with the forensic evidence, and this was months after the court order. If the defense can’t get the information, how could a third party?
Since the letter was published, four months have elapsed. Why hasn’t Dr. Stefanoni released the data in this time?

If such request were ever to be made (because we all assume that Johnson never made it), wouldn't it have been better to do it through proper channels, e.g. the defence team (Amanda's) who engaged Johnson in the first place?
You make it sound like Stefanoni should be scanning newspapers and websites the world over, waiting for critique, and ready and willing to send data to any old Joe or Jane who wants to be a Meredith Kercher Murder DNA Expert.
