CONCRETE, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Two federal agencies are offering a large sum of money for anyone that can help locate a triple murder suspect.

50-year-old Jason Birman has been missing since his home near Concrete burned down last month. 52-year-old Erin Birman, 19-year-old Taylor Dawson and 18-year-old Jillian Whitney Van Boven were found dead in the rubble of the home.

Jason Birman is accused of three counts of second-degree murder after investigators determined gunshot wounds found on the victims contributed to their deaths.

The U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms are offering a combined $15,000 for information that leads to Birman’s arrest.

Birman’s 1994 blue Chevrolet pickup truck has also been missing since the Aug. 9 fire. He is described as a 5’11” white man with blond hair and blue eyes and weighing 210 lbs.

Send useful information on Birman’s whereabouts here:

US Marshals 1-877-Wanted-2 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). If seen, call 911 and do not approach.
