A man with a dark past is on the run in the vast wilderness of Washington state. Travis Decker is the prime suspect in a shocking triple murder case. He is believed to be hiding along the Pacific Crest Trail. This trail stretches from Canada to Mexico and passes through some of the most remote areas in Washington.

    The search for Decker is now in its fourth day. It covers a wide area, including Chelan, Kittitas, King, Snohomish, and Okanogan counties. Authorities have closed many hiking trails in the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area and the popular Enchantments network. This is to make the search easier and to keep hikers safe.

    Decker is considered very dangerous. He might be armed, and he should not be approached. If spotted, people should call 911 right away. The public is also asked to share any tips they have. They can call the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office tip line or fill out an online form.

    Law enforcement is working around the clock. They are patrolling the region and executing search warrants. These warrants are for locations and electronic devices tied to Decker. This is to gather more leads and information.

    Residents and cabin owners in the remote areas should be extra careful. They are advised to lock all doors, including those of sheds and outbuildings. They should also keep window blinds open and exterior lights on. This is to make it harder for Decker to hide or sneak in.

    The park closures are in place until further notice. They include sections of the Pacific Crest Trail and nearby routes. This is to ensure the safety of the public and to help in the search for Decker.

    The three victims were Decker's own daughters. They were found dead west of Leavenworth. This is a tragic case that has shocked the community. It is important for everyone to stay vigilant and help in any way they can.

    The public is encouraged to stay informed through official news releases. There are no press conferences scheduled at this time. The focus is on finding Decker and bringing him to justice.
