Bones Found in Travis Decker Search Determined to Be Animal as Manhunt Continues

The FBI says the Aug. 25–26 grid search near Rock Island Campground cleared nearly 250 acres, with no further updates expected from that operation.

Overview

  • Central Washington University determined the bones recovered during last week's search near Leavenworth are not human, according to the FBI.
  • Agents said several items from the operation remain under review, though none are believed connected to Decker or his daughters.
  • The two-day effort covered roughly 247 to 250 acres on foot through rugged terrain and included electronic mapping of the area.
  • Decker remains at large and faces three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of kidnapping in the suffocation deaths of Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia.
  • The multi-agency hunt, including the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and local sheriffs, continues as officials do not plan further updates tied to that specific search.
