Authorities intensified the search for Travis Decker, 32, suspected of killing his three daughters, ages 5, 8, and 9, near Leavenworth, Washington.

A large police presence continues in the area as officers search for Decker, who is believed to have fled after the tragic discovery of his daughters' bodies at a campground. Evidence, including blood samples identified as human and non-human, was found in Decker's truck. Court documents indicate that Decker searched the internet for information on relocating to Canada leading up to the manhunt.
