Multagency Manhunt Intensifies for Triple Murder Suspect Travis Decker in Washington Backcountry

Authorities are intensifying a large-scale manhunt for Travis Decker, a 32-year-old U.S. Army veteran suspected of killing his three daughters by asphyxiation in Chelan County, Washington. The search involves multiple agencies including the Chelan and Kittitas County Sheriff's Offices, the U.S. Marshals Service, Washington Army National Guard, and Border Patrol, with extensive ground and aerial operations focused around Chelan and Kittitas counties. Decker, considered armed, dangerous, and an experienced outdoorsman, is believed to be hiding in rugged, remote backcountry areas such as Blewett Pass, Teanaway Valley, and the Enchantment Lakes wilderness. Authorities have issued alerts for residents and visitors to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity, while also debunking false claims of Decker's capture circulating on social media. A $20,000 reward is offered for information leading to his arrest, and despite the ongoing search, officials maintain there is no immediate threat to public safety. The case has drawn national attention due to its brutal nature and the ongoing efforts to locate Decker following the discovery of the girls' bodies at a remote campground.
