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.

FBI recovers possible evidence in Leavenworth, WA search for Travis Decker​

Federal investigators say they have recovered several items that could be connected to the case of wanted murder suspect Travis Decker following a large-scale search near Rock Island Campground earlier this week.

The FBI Seattle field office announced Thursday that more than 100 personnel took part in a two-day grid search operation on Aug. 25 and 26.

Agents and partner agencies combed through roughly 247 acres of rugged forest near Leavenworth in an effort to locate Decker or evidence tied to the June killings of his three daughters.

"The mission of the search was to locate Travis Decker, discover signs of his whereabouts, or find any other evidence of the murder of his three daughters," said W. Mike Herrington, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Seattle.

Investigators said several items were recovered during the operation and are being examined to determine if they are connected to the case. Authorities cautioned that final results will take time.

"Finding this potential evidence emphasizes the value in having various teams search an area multiple times, especially in such challenging conditions," Herrington said.

The FBI said the search covered more ground than originally planned, with teams documenting more than 1 million square meters of dense terrain.

Electronic mapping of the operation has been provided to the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office and other federal partners.

The search was described as the most extensive of its kind in the area to date. Crews worked through temperatures approaching 100 degrees and thick vegetation.

Alongside FBI Seattle, participating agencies included the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office, Spokane County Sheriff’s Office, U.S. Marshals Service, Port of Seattle Police Department, Yakima Police Department, U.S. Forest Service’s Wenatchee River District, the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division, and Central Washington University’s anthropology department.

Bones found and sending for testing. I'm not going to hold my breath on this one yet since bones found in the woods are probably 90+% animal.

His dropping or leaving items, if he even did, seems it would be a needle in a haystack. Unless they knew he was staying in that area, I'm not going to get excited right now that any item belonged to him or related to him. Guessing something brought them there though...?

Not shocking at all to find bones in the woods and far more chance than not of not being human.

Travis Decker, the man wanted in the kidnappings and murders of his three daughters, has been found dead.

The Chelan County Sheriff's Office confirmed in a press release Thursday that human remains were found in a remote wooded area south of Leavenworth, believed to be the body of Travis Decker.
