On June 2, the Wenatchee Police Department reported the three girls were found dead at a Chelan County campsite.

What they're saying:

"This memorial offers our community a meaningful space to come together in shared grief, love, and support. Out of deep respect for Whitney and her family, we ask all attendees to be present with care and compassion as we cherish the lives and memories of Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia. This will be a time of unity, love, and reflection - honoring their lives together," reads a portion of the GoFundMe set up to support Whitney Decker.

As of June 13, the GoFundMe had raised more than $1.2 million.

What you can do:

The public is asked to report tips regarding Decker's whereabouts to the U.S. Marshals Service via their tip line and website USMS Tips.

The U.S. Marshals Service is offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading directly to Decker’s arrest. Decker should be considered armed and dangerous.
