Leavenworth, WALocal News

The Chelan County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) debunked a TikTok video claiming Travis Decker's arrest, clarifying that the search for the triple homicide suspect is still active. Decker faces three counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of his daughters, found near Rock Island Campground on June 2. The search has progressed into its third week, with the U. S. Marshals Service spearheading the operation and employing various resources for ground and aerial support.

CCSO confirmed there is no immediate threat to public safety but encourages the public to remain alert and report any suspicious activity. Decker is described as a 32-year-old white male, approximately 5-foot-8 and 190 pounds, last seen in a tan or green t-shirt and dark shorts. Authorities consider him dangerous and advise against direct contact. A reward of up to $20,000 is available for information leading to his capture. The interagency effort underscores the seriousness of the situation and the commitment to finding Decker.
