Bones found in Washington state, where law enforcement said Travis Decker killed his three young daughters, "are not human," according to FBI officials.
The FBI's Seattle field office confirmed on Friday, Aug. 29, that bones were found around the Rock Island Campground in Chelan County, as part of the ongoing manhunt for Decker. The agency gave an update on the recovered bones on Wednesday, Sept. 3, saying that Central Washington University determined they did not belong to a human.
"While we do not anticipate further updates related to this specific search, the investigationcontinues," W. Mike Herrington, special agent in charge of the FBI's Seattle field office, said in a news release.
Herrington called the recent "extensive search" just "one step in a three-month process" by multiple agencies to find Decker or any other evidence of the murder of his three daughters.
"In two days, the search team cleared almost 250 acres by carefully covering rough terrain on foot, and further efforts can build on the knowledge we gained through the electronic mapping of the area," he added.
