DDC announces Birkhead as biological father of Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter
DDC laboratory director Dr. Michael Baird announced the results of the highly contested paternity test in Bahamian court proceedings yesterday. With odds paternity of over 11,500,000 to one, Larry Birkhead is considered the biological father of Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter, Dannielynn.
DDC was contracted by Birkhead’s legal team shortly after the birth of Dannielynn. His team selected DDC based on our excellent track record of offering high quality DNA testing and our commitment to client record confidentiality. DDC has worked with many high profile cases before, but this is the first we have been able to discuss.
“DDC maintains strict operating standards that ensure our client’s confidentiality with each case,” DDC spokesperson Jim Hanigan says. “It’s very rare that we are able to talk about a case, which is a personal matter for many. We’re only able to talk about this case now because of how it played out in the media.”
Named as the Bahamian courtroom DNA expert, Dr. Baird was unable to comment on this paternity case until Tuesday, despite numerous media requests.
Dr. Baird is not new to the media. One of his TV appearances was during the OJ Simpson trial, when he served a media consultant for NBC. He is also often called upon in court to testify as a DNA testing expert.
DDC offers a full menu of DNA testing services, including paternity and family relationship testing. As the world’s largest provider of private paternity tests, we have performed over 850,000 DNA tests in its 12 years of operation.

I don’t think this will be the end of this story. There’s still a custody battle to be fought.
