Fugitive Father Accused of Killing Daughters Possibly Spotted in Idaho

Travis Decker, an Army veteran accused of murdering his three young daughters near a Washington campground, has been the subject of a nationwide manhunt since early June. The daughters, ages 5, 8, and 9, were found dead near Rock Island Campground after a planned visitation with their father. Recently, a family camping in Idaho’s Sawtooth National Forest reported a possible sighting of Decker in the Bear Creek area, describing a man matching his description with distinctive features and clothing. The U.S. Marshals Service Greater Idaho Fugitive Task Force is actively investigating this lead and has warned the public not to use drones or pick up hitchhikers to avoid interfering with the search. Authorities consider Decker armed and dangerous and continue to offer a $20,000 reward for information leading to his capture. Despite some prior false alarms, officials remain focused on the rugged Idaho wilderness, where Decker’s survival skills may allow him to evade capture.
