Male Blood Found at Campsite Where 3 Sisters Were Killed — and Authorities Believe It May Be Their Father's
Male blood was found at the Washington campsite where three young sisters were discovered dead on June 2, authorities said One sample is believed to belong to the girls' father, Travis Decker, who remains at large A second blood sample was confirmed to be nonhuman; forensic testing is ongoingMale blood was found at the remote Washington campsite where three sisters were killed, investigators revealed on Monday — offering a chilling new detail as their father, the sole suspect, remains missing. In a news release shared with PEOPLE, the Chelan County Sheriff's Office confirmed that one blood sample recovered from Rock Island Campground — where the bodies of Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5, were discovered — was identified as male. A second sample tested as non-human, the office said. Authorities believe the girls were killed during a court-ordered visitation with their father, 39-year-old Travis Decker. The sisters were reported missing on May 30 after Decker failed to return them to their mother in Wenatchee. On June 2, their bodies were discovered in a tent near Decker's abandoned white pickup truck, PEOPLE previously reported. According to the same release, two bloody handprints were found on the truck's tailgate. DNA and fingerprint analysis is ongoing, the department said. Decker's dog was also found near the scene, and has since been turned over to the local humane society, per the sheriff's office. The investigation remains active and ongoing across rugged, remote terrain. Federal officials have joined in the search, though the sheriff's office continues to lead the criminal investigation. Search efforts have centered on areas including Ingalls Creek and Valley High. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

Decker, a former Army soldier with survivalist experience, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder, kidnapping, custodial interference and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. Authorities believe Decker may have been attempting to flee to to a U.S. Marshals affidavit shared with PEOPLE, investigators discovered that he had allegedly searched online for "how to relocate to Canada" and visited a Canadian government employment site in the days leading up to the killings. Given Decker's military background and survival training, officials have also speculated that he could be traveling through remote terrain, possibly using trails near the border. Authorities say they believe the male blood found at the scene likely belongs to Decker himself. The origin of the non-human sample is still being confirmed. Officials continue to warn that Decker may be armed and dangerous, and anyone with information is urged to contact Chelan County Dispatch or dial 911. Read the original article on People

‘It's like senior skip day': RPD, MCSO work together to introduce new safety measures at Charlotte Beach Park
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Monroe County leaders and law enforcement introduced an increased presence starting on Wednesday evening at Ontario Beach Park. Officers said they responded to Ontario Beach Park last Wednesday for disturbances breaking out in large crowds. That led to 19-year-old Deandre Leonard getting arrested for allegedly running around with a handgun. 'We can't allow that to happen again,' Captain Greg Bello said. On Tuesday, Rochester Police Captain Greg Bello announced that on Wednesday nights, which is the night of the weekly Concerts by the Shore, will begin having a huge increase of law enforcement personnel: including RPD's Special Events Detail and the Patrol Unit from the Department's Lake section, deputies from the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, and troopers from New York State Police. Teams will also be assigned from Monroe County Probation, Monroe County Security, and City of Rochester security. 'It's a great summer event that over 1,000 people go to,' Captain Bello said. 'We want to make sure that that's a safe event to go to.' Weather-dependent, RPD said it will implement its Tactical Unit and Traffic Enforcement Unit to 'conduct targeted, disorderly traffic safety, and all sorts of enforcement in the parking lots of the beach area.' Captain Bello said this is to target any groups 'before they're able to get into a point of creating mischief.' On Saturday evening, multiple roads were closed down in the Charlotte neighborhood near the beach. Fights spilled toward Lake Avenue in front of Tropix. Business owners have told News 8 that this has become a regular thing in the area. Rochester police, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, and New York State Police are meeting to plan for increased patrols in the area. First responders will also be working with the Rochester Transit Service to implement a special events detail. 'Our Staff Duty officer now has the authority to turn busses around,' Bello said. 'So if we have large groups of teens going to the beach in order to try to create problems at the beach, we're going to turn that bus around.' The Monroe Crime Analysis Center will also be used to monitor social media and different groups to target any events, fights, or chaos being planned at the beach. 'We're going to go after those that are that are trying to create chaos,' Bello said. At the end of the day, it's a family park.' Monroe County announced County Executive Adam Bello has worked with the President of the Monroe County Legislature to introduce a Capital Improvement Project. This would put gates at the parking lot of the beaches to monitor who is going in and out more effectively. 'This isn't something new. This has been going on for decades, and I think it's one of the really cornerstones of public safety in the county of Monroe,' a Monroe County Director said. Monroe County Sheriff's Office Deputy Brendan Hurley said these fights coincide with Senior Skip Day. 'These are juveniles,' Deputy Hurley said. 'These are teens going out and causing havoc. But like you saw last week, we arrested somebody with a gun, so that has the potential to get a lot worse. So that's why we're taking it serious, and we're going to try to nip it in the bud and stop it before anything gets too far in the name of safety.' When asked why this wasn't done a long time ago, Captain Bello said it has to do with resources. 'We don't have infinite resources,' he said. 'We have to prioritize as we go forward with what we're going after with our non fatal shooting team. We have to focus. And so we've had details up at the beach. There was a detail up at the beach last week that thankfully kept that from escalating any further. But what we've looked at is, okay, where's our most appropriate deployment of resources? And what we found is that we need to increase those resources at the beach, and that's what we're doing in response to that.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Suspects from Ottawa arrested as OPP dismantles drug-trafficking network that police say used the dark web to arrange shipments across Canada
Four people from Ottawa face drug-trafficking charges after Ontario Provincial Police say officers dismantled a network that used the dark web to ship illegal drugs across Canada. The accused were arrested as part of Project Bionic , an OPP investigation that police say led to the seizure of $2.5 million worth of drugs that were destined to be shipped across the country through courier services and Canada Post. The first-of-its-kind investigation was launched in November 2024, when OPP officers took aim at dismantling an operation that allegedly used a dark web marketplace to ship a high volume of drugs, say police. The investigation revealed that orders were placed through a dark web marketplace, then packaged and shipped to locations across the country including Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nunavut, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Quebec. The investigation revealed that orders were placed through a dark web marketplace, then packaged and shipped to locations across the country including Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nunavut, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Quebec. According to OPP, the dark web is a hidden portion of the internet, not indexed by traditional search engines, and requires special software to access. It employs encryption and anonymity to conceal its content and users. A dark web marketplace is a platform within the dark web where alleged illegal transactions take place. They enable the exchange of various illicit items, including stolen credentials, drugs and hacking tools, said provincial police. The investigation's first arrests were made on March 10, when officers arrested two suspects at a Canada Post location in Ottawa and seized 86 packages containing drugs ready to be shipped across Canada, say police. That same day, four search warrants were carried out on one vehicle and three homes in Gloucester and Nepean. Officers seized a handgun with an extended magazine and ammunition, about $95,000 in Canadian cash, electronic devices and a stolen 2018 Ferrari 488 Spider convertible valued at more than $400,000. Fraudulent licence plates, reprogrammable key fobs and a diagnostic and programmer tool were also confiscated, say police. Illegal drugs continue to pose a significant public safety risk, and the impacts are devastating to the people and communities of Ontario. Join the OPP and its partners for a media event outlining two separate, large-scale drug trafficking investigations — a first-of-its-kind OPP investigation into the use of the dark web for drug trafficking and an investigation that yielded the OPP's largest fentanyl seizure to date. The investigation also led to the seizure of more than 27 kilograms of drugs and 64,000 tablets of 37 different illegal drugs and prescription medications, including fentanyl, hydromorphone, methamphetamine, ketamine and MDMA. Those seizures included 5.5 kilograms of suspected fentanyl, 7.6 kilograms of suspected methamphetamine, 3.7 kilograms of suspected MDMA powder, 2 kilograms of suspected heroin and 1.8 kg of suspected cocaine. The police searches continued on March 27, when officers carried out a search warrant and recovered 11 stolen vehicles. The recovered vehicles include two Toyota Highlanders, three Toyota Sequoias, five Toyota Tundras and one Lexus RX, say police. The estimated value of those recovered vehicles is $730,000, say provincial police. 'Project Bionbic exposed the alarming volume of dangerous drugs being sold through dark web marketplaces, with packages shipped across the country. These arrests show that law enforcement can track and stop even the most complex online trafficking operations,' said OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique. 'This investigation also plainly demonstrates the connections between drug-trafficking and other crimes, such auto theft and illegal firearms. This seizure is a major step in dismantling drug networks — whether online or on the street — and reflects the OPP's ongoing commitment to public safety.' Four suspects from Ottawa — ages 24, 26, 26 and 31 — are charged with a combined 85 offences contrary to the criminal code and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. One of the 26-year-old accused faces 54 charges, while the 24-year-old faces 29 charges. The other two accused face one charge each. Anyone with information is asked to call 1-888-310-1122 . Error!
