Authorities believe the girls were killed during a court-ordered visit with their father, 39-year-old Travis Decker, who disappeared after failing to return them to their mother on May 30.

On June 2, the girls’ bodies were found in a tent near Decker’s abandoned white pickup truck. Investigators also found two bloody handprints on the truck’s tailgate. DNA and fingerprint testing is still underway.

Decker’s dog was found near the campsite and has been turned over to the local humane society, the sheriff’s office said.
