Authorities have potentially found the remains of Travis Decker, the Wenatchee man accused of murdering his three young daughters and who has evaded authorities for nearly four months.
The Chelan County sheriff’s office announced Thursday evening it potentially discovered Decker’s remains in a wooded area south of Leavenworth.
“While positive identification has not yet been confirmed, preliminary findings suggest the remains belong to Travis Decker,” a news release from the office said.
The news release said the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office is processing the scene and will complete DNA analysis to determine if the remains are Decker’s.
The summer-long search for Decker, 32, of Wenatchee, began in late May after his three daughters, Olivia, 5, Evelyn, 8, and Paityn, 9, were found dead
