The court determined that Cellmark Forensic Services, on the evidence, possessed superior and relevant experience in post‑mortem DNA testing of long‑buried skeletal remains and therefore varied the February 25, 2025 order to permit the appointment of Cellmark as the single laboratory with a Hong Kong agent to collect samples; the court refused the parties' request to appoint separate laboratories and followed the prior order's mechanism to choose between the nominees.
