It most likely decayed not many days after the last known observation, on May 05 UTC. I believe this was the last elset derived from observation: USA 136 r 8.6 3.0 0.0 3.5 v 1 25035U 97068B 04126.04524397 .05000000 00000-0 14703-2 0 07 2 25035 63.5359 24.1290 6463648 247.7621 34.6012 3.50153652 08 > OIG doesnt have it as decayed as yet. In recent years, it had become common practice for USSTRATCOM to begin to publish the elements of objects in secret orbits a few days before their decay. Apparently, not this time.
