The girls’ bodies were found on June 2 at a remote campground in Wenatchee, located about three hours east of Seattle.
According to the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office, the girls were discovered with plastic bags placed over their heads and their wrists zip-tied. Authorities have confirmed that the cause of death was suffocation.
Investigators found Decker’s truck abandoned at the site, with two bloody handprints visible on the tailgate.
Forensic analysis of blood samples collected from the scene revealed that one sample belonged to a male. A second sample was determined to be from an animal, authorities said.
