Cadaver dog joins manhunt for fugitive dad accused of killing three daughters
- Washington authorities have conducted a multi-agency search since June 2 for Travis Decker, wanted for killing his three daughters near Leavenworth.
- The search began after Decker failed to return the girls from a scheduled visit, and their bodies were found suffocated near Rock Island Campground.
- Investigators say Decker has advanced military training and mountain survival skills, complicating efforts in the rugged, remote terrain with abandoned shelters.

- Officials see no certain evidence Decker is alive or in the region, have shifted some resources toward locating his remains, and urge public vigilance to aid the search.
