Overview

  • Newly released Wenatchee Police dashcam video from May 27 shows Decker appearing nervous and urging a motorist not to call police days before he vanished with his daughters.
  • On July 9, federal authorities confirmed that a hiker in Idaho’s Sawtooth National Forest was not Decker after tipsters mistook him for the fugitive.
  • The multiagency manhunt continues in Washington’s rugged Cascade terrain with National Guard air support and no confirmed Decker sightings.
  • Decker’s abandoned 2017 white GMC Sierra was found on June 2 at Rock Island Campground, and DNA from the vehicle links him to the suffocation homicides of his three daughters.
  • The U.S. Marshals Service has issued a $20,000 reward for information leading to Decker’s arrest as investigators scour remote forest areas.
