Authorities have released new details in the manhunt for the Washington father accused of killing his three daughters before disappearing into the wilderness. 

Nearly three months after the bodies of Travis Decker’s three daughters – Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5 – were discovered in a remote campground, law enforcement officials have revealed new information about how the girls were killed while confirming Decker is the sole suspect. However, authorities conceded there are no new leads regarding Decker’s whereabouts.  

“He could be international at this point,” Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison said, according to FOX 13. “He could be national, he could be here locally. We haven’t given up. Paityn, Evelyn and Olivia are still very much in our minds.”

“We do have an operation that’s going to be up and coming here with one of our federal partners to take a different approach in the search,” Morrison said, according to FOX 13. “I still believe there is a high probability that he’s still in Washington state. Nothing is flagging on him to show that he’s been out in society.”

However, Morrison believes the manhunt could ultimately turn into a recovery mission for authorities. 

“We recognize that there is a potential that he could still be out in the woods, but we think most likely – if that were the case – he’d probably be deceased.”

The U.S. Marshals Service is offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to Decker’s arrest. Authorities warn Decker should be considered armed and dangerous, and anyone who believes they have seen him should call 911 immediately. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact the U.S. Marshals Service Communications Center at 1-800-336-0102 or submit a tip at www.usmarshals.gov/tips.
