Advanced forensic genetic genealogy identified 12-year-old human remains as Velma Louise Silva Lee, providing family closure.
According to the coroner in Chelan County, an autopsy of Travis Decker's body cannot be done based on what little remains of him. Because of this, answers as to when and how he died will likely never be known, the coroner said. Officials said the torso and cranium have not been found, and no biological tissue remained. The coroner said, based on the length of time he was dead, the summer weather and animal activity, not much of his bones remained.
