Law enforcement has not yet located 50-year-old Jason Birman. He has been missing since August 9th.

CONCRETE, Wash. – The U.S. Marshals Service has released new photos of a man wanted for allegedly killing three people and is asking the public for help finding him.

Jason Birman, 50, has been missing since August 9th

Birman is accused of killing three people: his wife, 52-year-old Erin Birman; her 19-year-old son, Taylor Dawson; and his 18-year-old girlfriend, Jillian Whitney Van Boven. The Skagit County Coroner's Office determined that all three victims had been shot, contributing to their deaths.

Their bodies were found in the remains of a burned home in Skagit County on State Route 530 near Concrete. He is wanted for three counts of second-degree murder.

The U.S. Marshals-led Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force is assisting the Mount Vernon Police Department. A total reward of $15,000 is being offered for information leading to Birman's arrest.


Birma is now 50 years old, 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs about 210 pounds. He has blonde hair and blue eyes.

Whitney Van Boven's mother, Gurubani Whitney Young, told KING 5 on Wednesday that she is still dealing with the devastating loss.

“One of the most precious beings in my life has been taken from me. No matter what I do every day to find balance and get back on my feet, there is always a beautiful memory that makes me cry. I'm looking at something and I “think, 'I should do this for my daughter,' 'I should give her a smile,' I should do something, but she's not here to do these things for her,” said Whitney Young. “My daughter, my sweet, beautiful daughter, is gone because some piece took my life.”

Anyone who has had contact with him or has information about his whereabouts is asked to contact the U.S. Marshals at 1-877-926-8332, submit a tip here or call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
