Remains found in Washington state are of Travis Decker, wanted in daughters’ killings, officials say

Travis Decker, a former Army infantryman, was found dead after a three-month search following the murder of his three daughters, officials said.

  • Travis Decker, a 32-year-old former Army infantryman, was wanted for the deaths of his three young daughters, whose bodies were found in early June near Leavenworth, Washington.
  • Decker failed to return the girls after a scheduled visit, and his former wife reported worsening mental health issues about a year prior to the deaths.
  • Authorities conducted a months-long search involving over 100 officials across hundreds of square miles of remote, mountainous terrain using land, air, and water resources.
  • Forensic tests confirmed Decker's remains were found this month less than a mile from where the girls' bodies were discovered, and an autopsy ruled the cause of death as suffocation.
  • The discovery and identification of Decker's remains concluded the extensive search and underscored the tragic end to the case, which had included a $20,000 reward offered to anyone providing tips that would help authorities apprehend him.
