Overview
- The FBI said a two-day grid search near Rock Island Campground recovered several items for analysis after more than 100 personnel combed roughly 1 million square meters of rugged terrain.
- Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison confirmed bones were among the items and said they were sent to Central Washington University's anthropology department for confirmation of origin.
- Investigators did not locate Travis Decker, who is wanted on three counts each of first-degree murder and kidnapping and is considered armed and dangerous.
- The U.S. Marshals Service continues to offer up to $20,000 for information leading to Decker's arrest, and authorities urge the public not to approach him if seen.
- Earlier forensic results reported this month found only Decker's and the victims' DNA on plastic bags placed over the girls' heads, and the medical examiner ruled the deaths homicides by asphyxiation.
