Overview

• Human remains were discovered Thursday in a remote wooded area south of Leavenworth, with authorities saying preliminary indicators suggest they are Travis Decker.
• Chelan County investigators are processing the site with assistance from the Washington State Patrol crime scene team before submitting samples for DNA analysis.
• The find follows a months-long, multi-agency manhunt across rugged backcountry that involved the U.S. Marshals Service, the FBI and Washington National Guard units.
• Decker, 32, had been charged with three counts each of first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping, plus a federal unlawful-flight charge, after his daughters were found dead near Rock Island Campground in early June.
• Forensic evidence previously tied Decker to the campsite, including DNA on plastic bags and cable ties and bloody handprints on his truck, and officials have said they have no indication of other suspects.
