Overview
- The Washington State Crime Lab found Decker’s DNA on plastic bags covering each child’s head and on cable ties recovered at the scene, and no other profiles were detected.
- The sisters, ages 9, 8 and 5, were found June 2 near Rock Island Campground after a court‑approved visit, and autopsies ruled their deaths homicides by asphyxiation.
- Investigators previously matched bloody handprints on the tailgate of Decker’s truck to his DNA, further linking him to the crime scene.
- Authorities continue a multiagency search, report no evidence indicating whether he is alive or deceased, and advise the public to call 911 rather than approach him.
- Decker is wanted on first‑degree murder and kidnapping charges, is considered armed and dangerous, and tips can be submitted through the U.S. Marshals Service with a reward of up to $20,000.
