Something to keep in mind here: Testing these kids is orders of magnitude cheaper now than it was when they started piling up back in 1984. This isn't to say that they shouldn't be tested now -- they absolutely should -- but it's less clear that they were wrong to throw the kits into storage at the time. (Especially if they thought for some reason that the case had been resolved without needing to run DNA tests.)
