Overview
- Investigators say state lab testing found only DNA from Decker and his three daughters on the plastic bags covering the victims’ heads, with Decker’s profile also linked to cable ties recovered at the scene.
- Decker is wanted on first-degree murder and kidnapping charges and remains at large as a $20,000 U.S. Marshals reward stands for information leading to his arrest.
- The sisters, ages 9, 8 and 5, were discovered on June 2 near Decker’s abandoned pickup at Rock Island Campground, and the medical examiner ruled each death a homicide by asphyxiation.
- Authorities reported that two victims had two bags over their heads and the third had three, and several cable ties were found nearby, adding to earlier forensic links from blood on Decker’s truck.
- The Chelan County Sheriff’s Office says Decker’s whereabouts are unknown with no evidence he is alive or deceased, and the multi-agency manhunt continues with ongoing tip reviews.
