Authorities confirmed that Travis Decker, who was accused of killing his three young girls, is dead after a months-long manhunt.
US Marshals declared the 33-year-old veteran ‘deceased,’ according to a report obtained by TMZ.
The grim announcement came after remains believed to belong to Decker were discovered in the dense Washington wilderness.
The finding occurred three months after his daughters Paityn, nine, Evelyn, eight, and Olivia, five, were found dead.
A federal law enforcement source told TMZ that the remains did belong to Decker, who struggled with his mental health prior to allegedly killing the girls.
They were able to confirm the remains belonged to the father through DNA.
His body was found in a remote wooded area near Leavenworth, where there have been coordinated efforts to track Decker down.
His remains were found with clothing that matched the latest description of Decker.

The finding occurred three months after his daughters Paityn, nine, Evelyn, eight, and Olivia, five, were found dead at a Washington campground
Police had previously noted that the 32-year-old had extensive wilderness survival training as an Army veteran and member of the Washington National Guard.
He joined the Army in 2013 and served in Afghanistan before transferring to the Washington National Guard in 2021.
The Guard was in the process of a disciplinary discharge due to Decker’s absences when his daughters were killed.
As the search wore on, authorities became less certain he was still alive and hiding out in the wilderness.
The former soldier had been wanted since June 2, when a sheriff’s deputy found his truck and the bodies of his three daughters at a campground.
The discovery came three days after he failed to return the girls to their mother’s home in Wenatchee, about 100 miles east of Seattle, following a scheduled visit.
Police said Decker was homeless and living out of his car by the time he picked up his three girls from their mother’s house on May 30.

Decker struggled with his mental health prior to allegedly killing the girls
His ex-wife Whitney told police she didn’t believe Decker was dangerous, and that he loved his daughters, with whom he had a ‘good relationship’.
He had been suffering from mental health issues at the time, and had recently been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
Decker was even court-mandated to receive mental health treatment and domestic violence anger management counseling but had refused.
