(NewsNation) — DNA matching Travis Decker and his three daughters were the only profiles found at the scene of the girls' deaths, leading officials to believe Decker is the sole suspect.
The manhunt began in early June for Decker, the Washington state man officials believe killed his three young daughters aged 5, 8 and 9.
The sisters were found near Decker’s vehicle close to a campground west of Wenatchee, Washington, days after their mother reported them missing.
Analysis from the Washington State Crime Lab found Decker's and his daughter's DNA on objects used in the killings.
"The completion of this DNA analysis provides additional evidence that indicates Travis Decker is the only suspect involved in committing these homicides," the Chelan County Sheriff's Office said.

Manhunt for Travis Decker continues
There is no new evidence Decker is dead or alive, according to officials.
Decker is described as 5 feet, 8 inches tall and 190 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a light-colored shirt and dark shorts.
“Due to safety concerns do not attempt to contact or approach Decker,” police warned in June.
Anyone who may have seen Decker or knows his current location is asked to call 911. A $20,000 reward has been offered for information leading to Decker’s arrest.
