Possible sighting of Washington man wanted in the deaths of his 3 daughters prompts search in Idaho

  • Travis Caleb Decker is being sought by law enforcement in Chelan County, Washington, facing accusations of murdering and kidnapping his three daughters, who are 5, 8, and 9 years old, with the offenses dated May 30, 2025.
  • Following a July 5 report from a family spending time in the Bear Creek region of Idaho's Sawtooth National Forest who spotted a man resembling Decker, U.S. Marshals intensified their investigation into several recent possible sightings in the area.
  • The tip described a white man approximately 5'8" to 5'10" tall, with a long ponytail and untrimmed beard, wearing a dark mesh hat, gauged earrings, a light-colored t-shirt, black shorts, and carrying a black JanSport backpack. He was also seen wearing a black watch resembling a Garmin.
  • Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison called a prior June sighting a false alarm, but authorities continue to urge the public to report information to the U.S. Marshals at 1-800-336-0102 or online tips.
  • A multi-agency task force led by the U.S. Marshals Service is actively managing the search for Decker and is requesting that anyone recreating near Bear Creek report any information about his location.
