    DNA only helps if he’s already in the system for some reason

    Noooope…

    He simply needs some family that contributed to 23andMe or similar, to narrow it down.

    That’s enough for a Judge to force them to hand over a DNA sample for comparison.

      People online always want to assume everyone has large families for some reason. Most people don’t have a huge extended family. Only children with small extended families are pretty common.

        As far as I know, my sperm donor doesn’t have a huge family. All it takes is your one sibling to take a genetics test to no longer be an anonymous sperm donor. Same applies here. It just takes one.
