Travis Decker Could Be Dead Amid Monthlong Manhunt: Sheriff
WASHINGTON STATE, JUL 1 – DNA from blood on Travis Decker's truck confirms his link to the crime scene where his three daughters were found suffocated, intensifying a manhunt lasting over a month.
- On June 2, the bodies of Travis Decker's three daughters—Paityn , Evelyn , and Olivia —were found near Rock Island Campground in Washington alongside his abandoned truck containing blood matching his DNA.
- The discovery followed Decker's failure to return the girls after a court-ordered visit on May 30, leading authorities to suspect him of kidnapping and first-degree murder charges.
- Chelan and Kittitas counties law enforcement, assisted by search teams and police dogs, tracked Decker in the rugged Washington Cascades, issuing warnings that he is armed and dangerous and may have fled to Canada.
- Authorities confirmed all recovered DNA samples originate from Decker and urged the public to call 911 without approach if seen, while offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
- The search has entered its fifth week with no evidence confirming Decker is alive or dead, prompting some shift in strategy to also recover his body if he perished in the wilderness.
