Update on the Search for Travis Decker
YAKIMA, Washington—The following statement may be attributed to W. Mike Herrington, special agent in charge of the FBI Seattle field office:

On August 25 and 26, FBI Seattle and partners participated in a two-day grid search operation within the vicinity of the Rock Island Campground near Leavenworth, Washington. During the search, personnel recovered multiple bones, including those that required additional examination to determine if they were animal or human. Central Washington University has reviewed the bones and assessed that they are not human.

While we do not anticipate further updates related to this specific search, the investigation continues. This extensive search was just one step in a three-month process by a variety of agencies to locate Travis Decker, discover signs of his whereabouts, or find 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.

FBI Seattle is committed to our continued collaboration with the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office, the U.S. Marshals Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and other partners to locate Decker and are committed to bringing every available FBI resource that will advance this case for as long as it takes. If we have an update on this case, we will share as soon as we are able. Also check for updates from the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office or the U.S. Marshals Service.

And knows he wasn't caught for a relatively long time. And it was a similar crime, unlike Decker's. Also, nobody could research how Decker did it, because he's still hidden (if I'm reading you right).

headed for Mexico. Transponder went silent.

I am/was too busy/tired to verify, so, FWIW.
Or not.

I made tomato sauce tonight. Everything in the stores is like wet cardboard. First things first.

CIAO.

If he hunted, he likely camped. Additionally, there are cabins scattered throughout the mountains and canyons. Elizabeth Smart’s kidnappers hid in the mountains relatively close to SLC. My husband’s family is in SLC and I’ve thought the shooter likely found a way to get to the mountains and disappear. I believe the Atlanta Olympic bomber evaded authorities by hiding in the wilderness as well.

the idiom is “on the lam”.

The other spelling makes it seem like he escaped astride the back of a sheep.

Derp

Sometimes nobody’s minding the store.

You’re speaking as if this is irrefutable.

And why try to help these fascists?

It's the same during the Trump rally shooting. They see white men with guns and see them as one of them.

It would only be seen as a possible threat if they were non white.

I saw a student say they had tickets for the event but they didn't check and anyone was able to come in.

They thought it's not a blue state and it's mostly a white place so it will be safe unlike the places they are sending national guard and others.

Until there’s evidence at the scene that leads to him or someone who knows him reports to the authorities he is the person of interest, the shooter could be hiding in plain sight.
