FROM ABC NEWS: As the search for Travis Decker — the dad accused of killing his three daughters — has almost reached the three-month mark, officials are revealing disturbing new details about the crime scene and the evidence that they say indicates he is the sole suspect.
Paityn Decker, 9; Evelyn Decker, 8; and Olivia Decker, 5, were found dead near the Rock Island Campground in Chelan County, Washington, on June 2, after they left home for a planned visit with their father on May 30, according to police.
Court documents obtained by ABC News in June revealed there were plastic bags over the heads of each girl and their wrists were zip-tied, but a new press release from officials on Monday provided new details about how the children were found.
According to officials, “Two of the victims each had two separate bags over their heads and the third victim had three separate bags over their head,” while “several cable ties were located on the ground in the immediate area of the bodies.”
The plastic bags and the cable ties were submitted to the Washington State Crime Lab for DNA analysis. On Aug. 6, the crime lab reported that DNA profiles matching Travis Decker were found on both, leading officials to believe that Travis is the sole suspect.
“The completion of this DNA analysis provides additional evidence that indicates Travis Decker is the only suspect involved in committing these homicides,” officials said.
Officials had also found a bloody handprint on the tailgate of Decker’s vehicle that had been analyzed and determined to match Travis’ DNA profile.
