FBI Confirms Bones Found in Travis Decker Search Are Animal Remains

Bones found during an FBI-led search near the Rock Island Campground in Chelan County, Washington, as part of the manhunt for Travis Decker, who is wanted for the murder of his three young daughters, have been confirmed to be animal remains, not human. The search covered nearly 250 acres on foot over two days and was described as one step in a three-month investigation involving multiple agencies to locate Decker or uncover further evidence related to the suffocation deaths of Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia Decker. Despite over 500 tips and numerous reported sightings, Decker has not been apprehended. The FBI and its partners, including the Chelan County Sheriff's Office and the U.S. Marshals Service, continue their efforts to find Decker, with a reward offered for information leading to his capture. Authorities emphasize that anyone spotting Decker should contact law enforcement immediately and avoid direct contact. The investigation remains active, with recovered items from the search under analysis to determine their relevance to the case.
