Evonitz lived near Fredericksburg at the time of the murders.
He killed himself in June, as police in Florida tried to arrest him for the kidnapping and rape of a 15-year-old South Carolina girl.
Police say the D-N-A evidence proves Evonitz kidnapped and killed 16-year-old Sofia Silva in September 1996 and sisters Kristin and Kati Lisk in May 1997.
Investigators say he has not been linked to any other unsolved murders.
