A new wanted poster has been issued in the ongoing search for Travis Decker, the fugitive believed to have murdered his young daughter. This search has now entered its third week.
Authorities released three photographs on Tuesday, suggesting that the 32-year-old father “may have altered his appearance.”
These digitally altered images depict Decker with his typical long hair, along with variations showing him with a shaved head and no facial hair. Officials caution the public that he is “armed and dangerous.”
Since Decker did not return his daughter to his ex-wife following a custody visit on May 30, extensive search teams have combed through remote areas of Washington.
The three sisters—Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5—were discovered deceased three days later at a campground in Wenatchee.
In a recent update, the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office clarified that, despite a viral TikTok video claiming Decker was captured during a standoff, this information was inaccurate.
“Our office, represented by Sheriff Morrison, was made aware of the TikTok video suggesting Mr. Decker had been apprehended after a protracted incident,” the Sheriff’s Office stated.
They emphasized, “To be clear, Mr. Decker is not in custody, and the CCSO did not contribute to that video.”
The clip, which seemed to dramatize Sheriff Mike Morrison’s role, gained traction on social media over the weekend.
Meanwhile, investigators continue to process evidence collected from the scene. Law enforcement agents, including those from the Washington Army National Guard, are on the lookout for signs of Decker, both aerially and on the ground.
The search for Decker comes with a reward of up to $20,000 for any information leading to his capture.
