Bones Found During Search for Travis Decker

  • On June 2, authorities found the bodies of Travis Decker's three daughters near his truck at Rock Island Campground, prompting a manhunt for Decker.

  • A FBI-led two-day grid search from August 25 to 27 involved over 100 personnel who documented about 247 acres of rugged terrain, uncovering several items including bones now sent for anthropological analysis.
  • FBI Special Agent W. Mike Herrington noted that discovering this possible evidence highlights the importance of conducting repeated searches with different teams, particularly under difficult conditions, and a $20,000 reward remains available for information that leads to Decker's capture.
