Leavenworth, WALocal News

Kittitas County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) has ramped up patrols in the Blewett Pass area as the search for Travis Decker, wanted for the murder of his three daughters, continues for an 11th day. Authorities have deployed drones, tactical teams, and K-9 units in an effort to track Decker, who is considered highly dangerous. Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison emphasized inter-agency cooperation, stating that multiple sheriff's offices are assisting in the manhunt. Decker, described as a 32-year-old white male with wilderness survival skills, evaded a helicopter search after being spotted near Colchuck Lake. KCSO has urged residents to report any sightings or unusual behavior that might indicate Decker's presence.

The sheriff's office has set up a dedicated line for tips and is collaborating with the U. S. Marshals Service, which is offering a reward of up to $20,000. Authorities warn that Decker should not be approached if seen. This search underscores the urgency of community vigilance in ensuring public safety.
