Police find remains that they think they are a man accused of having killed his three daughters

The human remains, supposed to be a sought after man, suspected of having murdered his three daughters, aged nine, eight and five, were found in the American state of Washington.

Police had looked for Travis Decker since the police found his phone and the bodies of his Paitact daughters, Evelyn and Olivia in a campsite remote on June 2. His truck was also found nearby.

“Although the positive identification has not yet been confirmed, the preliminary results suggest that the remains belong to Travis Decker,” said the Sheriff’s office of Chelan on Thursday.

The remains were discovered in a distant wooded area in the south of the city of Leavenworth, in the state of Washington, officials said.

Decker, 32, was wanted for kidnapping and accusations of first -degree murder, according to the Washington Wenatchee police service, and those responsible thought that he had hidden in a distant part of the mountainous and wooded state.

The daughters’ mother pointed out to them disappeared on May 30, after Decker did not return her daughters at her home in Wenatchee, Washington, after a visit. He also did not take his phone calls.

They died of an apparent suffocation and their wrists were linked to the ZIP links, the authorities said, according to the American partner of the BBC, CBS News.

Decker was a former soldier and may have gone to the mountain survival school as part of his military training, officials said.

“It seems that sometimes he went out and would be out of network for sometimes up to two and a half months,” said the Morrison sheriff after talking to the family to Decker.

The remains were found on Thursday on Grimestone Mountain, a few kilometers from the place where the Decker bodies of Decker were found in June, reports the local information partner of CBS, Kiro-TV.

A reward of $ 20,000 (£ 14,812) had been announced by US Marshals Service for information leading to the capture of Decker.

Research had caused widespread closures of national popular forests among hikers in the region.
