The victims are: Jason Birman’s wife, Erin Birman, 52; her 19-year-old son, Taylor Dawson; and Taylor’s girlfriend, Jillian Whitney Van Boven, 18.

In early September, the U.S. Marshals-led Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force announced a $5,000 reward for information that would lead to Birman’s arrest, and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms announced a $10,000 reward.

Anyone with information regarding Birman’s location is asked to call the U.S. Marshals Office at 1-877-926-8332; submit a tip online at www.usmarshals.gov/tips/index.html; or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Birman is 5 feet 11 inches and balding with blonde hair and blue eyes, weighing 210 pounds. He has a distinct speech pattern and wears glasses.
