Chelan County Manhunt Intensifies for Travis Decker After Triple Homicide

Authorities continue an intensive manhunt in Washington state for Travis Decker, a 32-year-old man accused of killing his three young daughters—Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia—whose bodies were found near his truck at a remote campground. Decker, who has advanced military training in mountain warfare and survival skills from a 2014 Afghanistan deployment, is considered dangerous and potentially capable of surviving for months in the wilderness. Multiple agencies including the FBI, U.S. Marshals, Homeland Security, and local sheriff offices are conducting ground and aerial searches, utilizing helicopters, drones, and tracking teams, with a $20,000 reward offered for information leading to his arrest. Authorities emphasize that Decker should not be approached if spotted and have urged the public to report tips through updated channels. The suspect was last seen wearing a light-colored shirt and dark shorts, and law enforcement is investigating a cellphone found at the scene for clues. The community has actively assisted with numerous tips and offers of support from off-road vehicle owners and backcountry experts, while authorities ask residents to avoid the wilderness search areas for safety.
