Travis Decker WA manhunt Week 4 update from Chelan Co. sheriff

The manhunt for Travis Decker, the suspect in the murder of three girls, has reached its fourth week, with authorities concentrating their efforts in central Washington's challenging terrain. Sheriff Mike Morrison noted that 87% of Chelan County is inaccessible by road, complicating the search. He highlighted the emotional toll the case has taken on the Wenatchee community and the mental health resources provided to law enforcement involved. Morrison confirmed that authorities believe Decker is still alive and actively evading capture, urging him to surrender for medical and mental health support. The sheriff warned that Decker remains a danger to the community and called for public vigilance in reporting suspicious activities.

The U. S. Marshals Service, leading the search, is offering a $20,000 reward for tips leading to Decker's arrest. Morrison acknowledged rumors of Decker's mental health struggles but stressed that they do not justify his alleged actions. He emphasized the importance of community cooperation in resolving the case and ensuring accountability.
