Three missing girls in Wenatchee found dead, father still missing​

Three missing girls in the Wenatchee area were found dead, according to the Wenatchee Police Department.

According to the police department, police responded to reports of a civil complaint when the mom of three young girls reported that her daughters did not return after a planned visitation with their father.

Police said Decker was believed to be living out of a white 2017 GMC Sierra pickup, which was last seen heading west on Highway 2 from Wenatchee on May 30.

WSP was contacted Friday night for an Amber Alert request, but Wenatchee Police said it did not meet the required criteria, and an Endangered Missing Person Alert was issued.

Law enforcement eventually found Decker's car unoccupied near the Rock Island Campground.

Other officers searched the immediate area and found the bodies of the three missing girls.

Decker is wanted for three counts of first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping. Police do not know if Decker is currently armed, but he may still pose a significant risk, according to police.

I have to agree with them in saying it is NOT official if only testing from his clothing is in and testing from the remains are not in yet. All they have CONFIRMED so far is that he wore that clothing. I'm certain those are his remains, but I still agree that it is not official yet.
 

Remains spread across 5 sites identified as missing man Travis Decker, skull and torso still missing​

Chelan County officials confirmed Thursday that skeletal remains found in the area belong to Travis Decker, though many questions surrounding his death will likely never be answered.

Authorities said DNA testing confirmed the identification, bringing months of speculation in the community to a close.

In a public statement, the Chelan County Coroner’s Office said they would not provide extensive detail out of respect for Decker’s family.

An autopsy cannot be performed because of the limited remains recovered.

The Coroner’s Office said the torso and skull have not been found, leaving unanswered questions about when and how Decker died.

The bones that were recovered were spread across five different sites, each separated by several hundred yards.

The remains showed no fractures that would suggest a fall, according to the state anthropologist who examined them.

Because of the time that has passed, along with summer weather and animal activity in the area, the Coroner’s Office said no biological tissue or other material was available for testing.

“The biggest questions are when, and how did he die? Based on the limited skeletal remains that were obtained, that answer will most likely never be known,” officials stated.

The Chelan County statement also acknowledged the widespread interest the case has generated and said that in this line of work, clear answers are not always possible.

“The greatest hope is now the Decker family and the community can begin to heal,” the statement said.

My guess is the skull is downhill.

Good news that they are now sure the remains are his.
 
Wow. Is it possile he died elsewhere and THESE were carried to this site? Probably not as clothing and such were there too but I wonder if they have considered such or such is possible.

The thing is shooting would leave a gun, hanging would leave a rope. What else is there, overdose I guess but I can't recall the last time I read of a man intentionally overdosing and committing suicide.

The torso and head not being there make me think this isn't the site of his death. Who knows.

Their decision to not share details I'm not sure I agree with. Normally I'd agree with that if it hurts the family and provides no real further info, but there is no answer in this case as to when, how and so on.

Have they tried cadaver and scent does in this area? I can't recall.
 
There are 5 sites, not one, where remains were found. All spread over hundreds of yards. I’d imagine that yes, they had to have used dogs to find bones spread out like that.
He likely died within a few hundred yards of one place bones were found.
There could still be an unrecovered weapon, considering the terrain they’re in. Also natural causes (exposure) is possible. Or perhaps he chose the same as his daughters, plastic bags over his head. Probably will never know unless his skull is found. (Which probably won’t happen unless they do more targeted searches in this area. It’s not a common hiking or hunting spot.)

Probably not a common spot due to the rough terrain.
 
I wonder if he killed himself by jumping off a higher part of the mountain and animals have since eaten/spread out (and are responsible for) the missing parts (the head and the torso).

It's gruesome, they haven't found the major parts.

I don't know enough about animal behavior to say. Would for instance a pack of wolves possibly bring back parts of the body to a general location? I agree it is most likely this is the area he died in but am not convinced I guess, and no weapon is part of that. Of course they may not have found such but I'd think they gave it one heck of an effort as both no cause of death and no weapon I'd think most could agree leave some major questions unanswered. What you say could all be the case, there's just not enough though to be sold or know the cause of death or even if it was suicide (which I am pretty sure as are most I'd think that it was).

The plastic bag though is the one thing I don't agree on. Even if he tried, human nature and base instinct has us fighting to survive, to get air, etc. If he placed a bag over his head he as most I'd imagine would be ripping it off the minute he could not get air or felt he was dying. I think that's the least likely scenario.

One way or another his bones were scattered whether at that location or brought to that general area. It definitely is an odd one and at the moment I can't come up with a similar case and findings.

They said there were no breaks or evidence of a fall. However without all body parts I'd imagine that is just another thing one can't be certain of.

In fact I'd say the findings tell basically nothing other than that he is dead.

I'd think the animals took the limbs off and away from the head and torso as more likely than something took the head and torso away but either is possible I imagine. And would the head and torso have a firearm nearby and the head show evidence of a gunshot wound...?
 
Not if it still attached to his torso. I think the head and torso are more likely uphill, where his death occurred. Animals then scavenged and dragged smaller parts downhill.
Just speculating.where my thoughts went
That's where my thoughts went, along with a weapon. I'm thinking we are likely to never know unless one day someone comes across the remainder of the body and the instrument of death.
 
I was just watching Nate and he had the coroner on from this. He is no forensic pathologist or anything but does know the case and so on.
c
He said most of the remains are missing still. They tested a foot I think he said for DNA.

While I am open to either possibility, this leans me again to I think parts were torn off and dragged to this area and the actual death site is wherever the head and torso are. He also said no more searching will go on as it is not a good use of resources and I'd agree with that. He did say someone hiking or some such may find his skull and call authorities and only then we might know like if he died from bullet to the head, etc. Sorry had to be just a bit graphic here but there was no way to say it otherwise, I kept it as non graphic as possible.

I don't see the torso and head being taken elsewhere rather than the other way around. However, clothing was found, etc. so I don't know... Probably never will plus they haven't given imo quite enough info. That irritates me.
