Overview

• The Chelan County Sheriff’s Office announced that DNA from blood on the tailgate of Decker’s abandoned pickup matched his profile, cementing his link to the Rock Island Campground crime scene.
• The U.S. Marshals Service is leading the multiagency operation with support from seven county sheriff’s offices, the National Guard and state police.
• Searchers have scoured hundreds of square miles using cadaver-sniffing dogs and helicopter reconnaissance but still have not located Decker.
• Todd McGhee, a former Massachusetts state trooper, said the absence of cadaver scent suggests Decker’s survival training is helping him evade capture.
• Investigators noted that Decker conducted online searches about relocating to Canada before the killings, and a $20,000 reward remains for tips leading to his arrest.
