Hey King,
Firstly, I am truly, deeply sorry that all of this happened to you and your family.
I'm not comfortable giving strong advice about something so personal. However, the one thing that strikes me is that this man did commit murder, and he's still on the lose. If it were me, I would want to testify just in the hopes of protecting other possible victims. I know you said it has been 26 years, but someone capable of that kind of premeditated murder might do it again. Even decades later.
