'Autopsy Cannot Be Done' on Travis Decker Remains, Coroner Says
Travis Decker’s remains were found after a nearly four-month search but the cause of death remains undetermined due to damage from heat and animal activity, officials said.
- On September 18, 2024, human remains identified by DNA as Travis Decker were found in rugged terrain south of Leavenworth, Washington.
- The discovery followed a nearly four-month manhunt after Decker's three daughters were found suffocated and bound near his truck after being reported missing May 30.
- Decker's remains were scattered across five sites hundreds of yards apart and included damaged bones and clothing linked to him, but his torso and skull were missing.
- DNA analysis confirmed the remains as Decker's, but the Chelan County Coroner stated that an autopsy cannot be done due to decomposition and missing key bones.
- The coroner indicated that the exact cause of Decker's death may remain unclear, but the identification through DNA testing resolved the investigation, enabling the family and community to start the healing process.
