Bones were found near the CASCADE mountain camp amid a chase of a 33 -year -old player suspected of killing his three young daughters, the FBI said on Friday.
The camp near Levinworth, Washington, is the site of the discovery of the bodies of the three girls of Travis Decker, Baiten, 9; Evlin, 8; Olivia, 5, on June 2.
Ted Hal, a spokesman for the FBI in Seattle, said on Friday that the bones are being analyzed to determine whether they are human.
“We can confirm that some bones have been collected as part of the search activity earlier in the week around the Rock Island camp,” he said via e -mail.
Earlier this month, the office said that the DNA of plastic bags on the heads of girls match the father, and the other human DNA was not found alongside girls. Sharif’s office said that the province’s medical examiner concluded that the girls had passed away due to suffocation, the victims of the murder.
After the discovery of their bodies, the local, state and federal authorities launched a wide chase with Decker, fearing that he could use his military background and outdoor experience to fade.
Beck App Decker was found nearly, on the ground described by the Shilan Sharif County Office as “rugged terrain and dense forests”, about 150 miles east of Seattle.
Decker has been accused of three first -class killing and first -class killing, which is the subject of arrest order.
On May 30, his ex -wife stated that Decker did not return the girls after a planned visit, the authorities said. The Washington State patrol said the report was not enough to stir amber.
Investigators said that the motivation is unclear. Decker state refused to sign a paternity and motherhood plan nearly a year ago, which included orders to search for mental health treatment and advise anger management.
On Monday, Sharif identified the Chelelan Michael County. Morrison search for two days about evidence near the camp on federal lands that started on Monday and drew nearly 100 federal police, deputies and agents.
“During the past three months, the investigation teams, led by the investigation unit in the Sharif office, followed all the initiative and searching large and remote areas in the hope of locating the Travis Decker or any evidence that may bring us closer to the answers,” Morrison said in a statement.
Sharif repeated that it is not clear if Decker is alive.
“At this time, no conclusive evidence was found indicating whether Travis Decker is alive or deceased,” he said. “We continue to follow all reliable progress.”
