Overview

• The Washington State Crime Lab reported the matches on August 6, and the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office announced the findings this week, identifying Decker as the sole suspect.
• Authorities say only the victims’ and Decker’s DNA appeared on the bags and cable ties, and earlier bloody handprints on the truck tailgate also matched him.
• Investigators detailed that two girls had two bags over their heads and a third had three, with cable ties found nearby; autopsies ruled suffocation homicides.
• Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5, were discovered June 2 near Rock Island Campground about 100 yards from Decker’s abandoned pickup after a missed custody handoff.
• Decker remains at large, considered armed and dangerous, and wanted on three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of kidnapping, with a U.S. Marshals reward of up to $20,000 and no evidence indicating whether he is alive or deceased.
