Authorities Spot Suspected Ex-Soldier Travis Decker Near Colchuck Lake Amid Manhunt

News summary

Authorities are actively searching for Travis Decker, a former U.S. Army infantryman accused of murdering his three young daughters in Washington State. Decker was reportedly spotted hiking alone off-trail near Colchuck Lake in the remote Cascade Range area known as The Enchantments, after hikers reported seeing a lone individual who appeared ill-prepared for the conditions. A helicopter crew and K-9 units have tracked him to the Ingalls Creek Trailhead area, prompting a large-scale manhunt involving multiple state and federal agencies. Decker, who has survival and navigation training from his military service, is considered dangerous and possibly armed, leading officials to caution residents in nearby communities to lock their homes and vehicles and report any sightings immediately. A $20,000 reward has been offered for information leading to his capture. Authorities believe his capture is imminent as they tighten the perimeter around his last known location.
