WhatsApp Channel Join Now Washington authorities are escalating their manhunt for Travis Decker, a 32-year-old man accused of murdering his three young daughters, as new images of the suspect were released to the public on June 7, 2025. The Chelan County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) is urging residents to remain vigilant and assist in locating Decker, who remains at large.
According to a CCSO statement posted on Facebook on June 7, 2025, authorities released a wanted poster featuring multiple images of Decker, highlighting his tattoos and clothing. The suspect, charged with one count of kidnapping and three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of his daughters—Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5—is described as 5’8″ with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a tan or green T-shirt and dark shorts, and the CCSO warned that he is considered “dangerous” and may be armed.
The CCSO reported that hundreds of law enforcement officers are searching dozens of structures and forested areas in Chelan County. “We are acting on tips from the public and leads developed through search warrants,” the sheriff’s office stated, noting that a local road and nearby recreation areas managed by the U.S. Forest Service have been reopened after no credible threats were found.
As reported by Fox 13 Seattle on June 7, 2025, a U.S. Marshals Service affidavit revealed concerns that Decker may be attempting to flee to Canada, citing his recent online searches for “how to relocate to Canada” and Canadian job sites on May 26. The affidavit, also cited by NBC Right Now, underscores the urgency of the manhunt.
The tragic case began when Decker’s daughters were last seen with him during a planned visitation on May 30, 2025, according to the Wenatchee Police Department (WPD). The WPD issued an endangered missing persons alert on May 31, which was canceled on June 2 after the girls’ remains were discovered near the Rock Island Campground in Leavenworth, Washington. Fox 13 Seattle reported that Decker’s pickup truck, found at the campground, contained a blanket, wallet, food, car seats, and two bloody handprints. A preliminary report lists the girls’ cause of death as asphyxiation.
ABC News reported on June 7, 2025, that authorities are offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to Decker’s arrest. The CCSO has urged the public to check doorbell camera footage and report any sightings of Decker to 911 or the sheriff’s office at 509-667-6845, emphasizing that individuals should not approach the suspect. A tip line form is also available.
Arianna Cozart, the attorney for the girls’ mother, Whitney Decker, told PEOPLE on June 6, 2025, that finding Travis is critical “for peace of mind if nothing else.” The community remains on edge as the search continues.
