FBI Says Bones Found in Travis Decker Search Are Not Human as Manhunt Continues

The two-day grid sweep cleared roughly 250 acres without finding evidence tied to the suspect.

Overview

  • Central Washington University determined bones recovered near Rock Island Campground during the Aug. 25–26 operation were animal remains.
  • The FBI said it does not anticipate further updates from that specific search, though the broader investigation remains active.
  • Authorities continue to seek Travis Decker, who is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and kidnapping in the suffocation deaths of his daughters.
  • Investigators say DNA matching Decker was found on the plastic bags placed over the girls’ heads, and he is considered armed and dangerous.
  • The U.S. Marshals Service offers up to $20,000 for tips leading to his arrest, and the FBI told Fox News it has no evidence indicating whether Decker is alive or dead.
