Intensive Manhunt for Travis Decker as FBI Leads Search for Suspected Child Killer
The manhunt for Travis Decker, the father accused of murdering his three daughters, is nearing three months as the FBI intensifies its search in the rugged terrain surrounding Leavenworth, Washington. Authorities have focused their efforts on the area near a campground where the bodies of the Decker sisters were discovered, and new evidence has confirmed that Decker is the sole suspect in the case. As the hunt continues, the FBI has closed campgrounds and trails to facilitate a thorough investigation, even conducting grid searches in nearby backcountry. Disturbing details have emerged regarding the crime scene, prompting law enforcement to appeal for public assistance while advising people to avoid the search area. The sheriff has pledged that the search will not relent, as investigators prepare for a potentially years-long pursuit. The FBI is actively working to uncover any traces of Decker, who may have fled the area.
