Bones found during search for Travis Decker

(NewsNation) — Authorities have confirmed bones were found during the search for Travis Decker, according to local media reports.

Police have been searching for Decker, who is accused of killing his three daughters — 9-year-old Piatyn, 8-year-old Evelyn and 5-year-old Olivia — during a planned visitation.

The FBI announced Thursday it had completed a two-day search of the area where the girls' bodies were found.

Bones were among the items recovered, Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison told local media.

He said the bones were not a complete skeleton, and it was not clear if they were human or animal bones.

The bones were sent to Central Washington University’s anthropology department to be tested to determine their origin.
