Overview

  • The U.S. Forest Service closed Rock Island Campground and nearby roads and trails to facilitate the FBI’s focused operation at the crime scene.
  • Teams are conducting a quarter-mile grid search with K9s and technical specialists, and divers are rechecking Icicle Creek where earlier logjams limited access.
  • Officials say there is no evidence indicating whether Decker is alive or deceased, and he is considered armed and dangerous.
  • The U.S. Marshals Service is offering up to $20,000 for information leading to Decker’s arrest, with tips accepted through 1-800-336-0102 or usmarshals.gov/tips.
  • Authorities reiterated that crime-lab testing found Decker’s DNA on plastic bags placed over each girl’s head and on cable ties, and that the sisters died by suffocation.
