Overview

  • Investigators discovered Paityn, Evelyn and Olivia Decker on June 2 near Rock Island Campground with plastic bags over their heads and zip-tied wrists, concluding they died of asphyxiation.
  • Travis Decker, 32, a former military member with ranger training, remains at large on three counts of first-degree murder and kidnapping, with a $20,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
  • The multi-agency search includes the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office, Wenatchee Police, Washington State Patrol, FBI and U.S. Marshals deploying aerial support, drones and ground teams across the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.
  • Sheriff Mike Morrison warned Decker’s extensive survival skills and potential pre-positioned supplies heighten risk and urged anyone spotting him to call 911 rather than approach.
  • The manhunt has entered its fifth day with investigators tracing Decker’s last confirmed stop to a May 30 custody pickup and following leads nationwide after ruling out a reported sighting in Idaho.
