No specifics have been provided by authorities, including whether there has been a credible sighting of Decker or if some human remains or more eveidence has been discovered. More details are expected on Monday.
Decker has been the focus of an intense manhunt in the region, and the Chelan County Sheriff has said there is no evidence to suggest Decker is still at large or may be deceased.
Last week, the Sheriff's Office said the Washington State Crime Lab confirmed in early August that Decker's DNA was found on zip ties and plastic bags used in his daughters' killings.
