Authorities have narrowed the search for suspected murderer Travis Decker to the area near Ingalls Creek and Valley High in Washington state.
This area lies roughly 30 miles from Rock Island Campground, the site of the alleged homicides. Decker is considered armed and dangerous.
National attention
Travis Decker is suspected of the unthinkable—causing the tragic deaths of his three daughters. Five-year-old Olivia, eight-year-old Evelyn, and nine-year-old Paityn Decker were allegedly murdered at the Rock Island Campground. Their deaths have led to a sweeping manhunt throughout this popular summer vacation area.
Because Decker remains at large, the case has raised pressing concerns over public safety. The incident also raises concerns about the availability of mental health services for veterans, and community preparedness.
Latest update
According to a Monday evening Facebook post from the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office, Decker is believed to be in the vicinity of Ingalls Creek and Valley High near Blewett Pass. The agency urged everyone in the area to secure their homes, lock their vehicles, and remain alert. Anyone witnessing suspicious activity should immediately call authorities.
Increased law enforcement activity is expected in the region, including marked patrols and possibly road checks. Authorities emphasize that public safety remains their top priority and encourage residents and visitors to report anything out of the ordinary.
Important details
If you’re camping in the area—or planning to—especially near the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, exercise heightened caution.
Law enforcement recovered some of Decker’s belongings and his dog near the crime scene, adding to concerns that he may still be nearby and possibly on foot.
Who’s leading the search?
While the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the homicides, federal agencies have now taken over the active search for Decker. This transition reflects the national scope of the case and the urgency to locate him quickly.
