Sept. 25, 2025, 7:43 PM EDT / Updated Sept. 25, 2025, 8:18 PM EDTBy Tim Stelloh and Joe KottkeAuthorities confirmed that remains found in a remote part of Washington state were those of Travis Decker, the U.S. Army veteran accused in the horrific murder of his three young daughters and the subject of a monthslong manhunt. Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison said Thursday that officials received DNA results from Washington State Patrol’s crime lab confirming the identity of the remains. Clothing recovered from the scene also belonged to Decker, he said.Travis Caleb Decker.U.S. Marshals ServiceMorrison apologized to the girls’ mother, Whitney Decker, for how long it took to track down Decker.”But I hope that you can rest easier at night knowing that Travis is accounted for,” Morrison said. “He is deceased. Our DNA results confirm that, and this will bring a close to our case.”He said officials are still awaiting a possible cause and time of death from the coroner.A psychologist pointed authorities to a 7,500-foot mountain east of Leavenworth, Washington, Morrison said, “and her insights and guidance led us to an important area to search where we did eventually locate Mr. Decker. Again, we couldn’t have done this by ourselves.”The announcement came after the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office said last week that the remains were found in a wooded area south of Leavenworth, nearly 120 miles east of Seattle. That area wasn’t far from the remote campsite where the bodies of Decker’s daughters — Evelyn, 8; Paityn, 9; and Olivia Decker, 5 — were found with bags over their heads on June 2.The girls had been zip-tied, according to an affidavit in support of an arrest warrant, and Decker’s abandoned pickup was found near the campsite with two bloody handprints on the tailgate.The county medical examiner said the girls died by suffocation. Decker, 32, was accused of murder and kidnapping in their deaths. He was also wanted on one federal charge — unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.Authorities have not identified a potential motive. In the affidavit, a detective noted that Decker — who was divorced from his daughters’ mother — refused to sign a parenting plan that required him to seek mental health treatment and domestic violence anger management.The girls had been with Decker for a May 30 visitation when he failed to return them, setting off an intensive search that covered hundreds of square miles across a rugged swath of the state. There were dozens and dozens of potential sightings in the weeks that followed, authorities said, including one that led investigators as far away as Idaho’s Sawtooth National Forest. That sighting turned out to be false.Decker, who was described by authorities as an outdoorsman who would go “off-grid” for months, appears to have been seen only once, in an area south of Leavenworth, when tracking teams spotted an off-trail hiker who ran from their helicopter.Tim StellohTim Stelloh is a breaking news reporter for NBC News Digital.Joe KottkeJoe Kottke is an assignment editor at NBC News covering domestic news, including politics, crime, natural disasters, immigration and LGBTQ issues.

Sept. 29, 2025, 8:00 AM EDT / Updated Sept. 29, 2025, 9:23 AM EDTBy Lawrence HurleyWASHINGTON — The Supreme Court justices are scheduled to meet in private on Monday to discuss hundreds of appeals that piled up during their summer recess, including Ghislaine Maxwell’s challenge to her criminal convictions for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein.The court only takes up a tiny percentage of appeals and will likely announce a list of those it has agreed to hear later in the week. Four of the nine justices have to vote in favor of hearing a case for it to be taken up.A wide array of other cases are also scheduled to be discussed by the justices at what is known as the “long conference.” They include such issues as gun rights, social media company immunity and Covid-19 era vaccine disputes.Monday also marks 20 years since John Roberts became Chief Justice. The new nine-month Supreme Court term, when the court will begin hearing cases, officially starts on Oct. 6. Maxwell’s lawyers say that a deal Epstein made with prosecutors in Florida, in which the then-U.S. attorney agreed not to prosecute potential co-conspirators, should apply to one of the three counts in her case.Newly public emails reveal Epstein and Maxwell planned fertility procedure01:53The legal question is whether the terms of a so-called nonprosecution agreement apply only in the district where it was negotiated or also bind federal prosecutors nationwide. While the agreement with Epstein was made in Florida, Maxwell was prosecuted in New York.The Justice Department has urged the Supreme Court not to hear the case, with Solicitor General D. John Sauer noting, among other things, that under internal policies, the U.S. attorney would have needed to obtain permission from superiors if the agreement were to apply outside his district. There is no evidence that occurred, Sauer added.Epstein’s long history of abuse has surged back into the headlines this year as the Trump administration, in response to pressure from some of President Donald Trump’s own supporters, pledged to release new information about the episode.But the Justice Department and the FBI then said there was no Epstein “client list” or evidence he was blackmailing famous men. The government also said it is clear that Epstein killed himself in 2019, pushing back on unfounded conspiracy theories suggesting he was killed.This prompted a backlash against the Trump administration’s handling of the issue, including from Trump supporters. Trump himself was friendly with Epstein for many years before the two had a falling out. The U.S. attorney who oversaw the nonprosecution agreement with Epstein was Alex Acosta, who served as labor secretary in Trump’s first term.Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who was previously a personal lawyer for Trump, this summer met with Maxwell for hours in an encounter that, at the time, was shrouded in secrecy.Maxwell was subsequently moved from a low-security prison in Florida to a lower, minimum-security prison camp in Texas. The Bureau of Prisons did not say why she was transferred.The Justice Department later released a full transcript and audio of Blanche’s interview with Maxwell.Maxwell was convicted in 2022 of three counts relating to her role in assisting Epstein in recruiting and grooming his victims, some of whom were as young as 14 years old. She would befriend the victims and then assist in transporting them to Epstein’s residences. She would also sometimes be present when the abuse took place, prosecutors alleged.Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison.Lawrence HurleyLawrence Hurley is a senior Supreme Court reporter for NBC News.
