Overview

  • The FBI concluded a focused two-day grid search near Rock Island Campground in Leavenworth, Washington, without locating Travis Decker.
  • Officials said more than 100 personnel searched roughly 1,000,000 square meters and recovered several items now being examined.
  • Decker is wanted on three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of kidnapping and is considered armed and dangerous.
  • The U.S. Marshals Service is offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading directly to his arrest, and the public is urged to call 911 and not approach him.
  • Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison pledged to continue the effort for as long as it takes, as the victims' mother has voiced frustration with the lack of resolution.
