Investigators spent the summer combing the wilderness of the Washington Cascades for Travis Decker – the man thought to have killed his three young daughters at a campground at the end of May. A backdrop of rugged mountains and scenic trails gave way to specialized search teams, helicopters and dogs as officials attempted to track down the fugitive father, with the search even crossing over the border into Canada and Mexico as tips were chased down.
But when investigators found fragments of bone believed to belong to Decker on Thursday, they were less than a mile away from the abandoned campsite where the girls’ bodies were discovered on June
