CHELAN COUNTY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – DNA testing has further implicated Travis Decker in the murder of his three young daughters earlier this summer.

The Chelan County Sheriff’s Office says DNA results confirmed that Decker and his daughters were the only people at the scene of the crime.

Decker is accused of kidnapping the girls after a planned visitation and killing them at a campground near Leavenworth on June 2. The Sheriff’s Office believes Decker was the only suspect involved in the murders.

There’s still no sign of him and the agency says it has no evidence to suggest he’s either dead or alive.

The U.S. Marshals Service is still offering up to $20,000 for information leading to Decker’s arrest.
