Search for Travis Decker expands into Idaho

The manhunt for Travis Decker has broadened into Idaho after a family reported a possible sighting in the Sawtooth National Forest. Charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping, Decker is linked to the tragic deaths of his three daughters, ages 5, 8, and 9, found dead from asphyxiation near his truck at a Leavenworth campground on June 2. Initially, the search concentrated on the Enchantments in Washington, where hikers believed they might have seen him last month. Search teams are now combing through bodies of water stretching from the campsite to the Columbia River in Wenatchee. Authorities are growing increasingly concerned that Decker may have fled the area or may not be alive.

The U. S. Marshals Service is leading the search efforts, utilizing tips from the public to guide their operations. This case underscores the complexities involved in tracking suspects in vast, rugged terrains. The investigation continues as law enforcement seeks to locate Decker and address the serious charges against him.
