The hunt for Travis Decker, the Army vet accused of murdering his three young daughters, has taken a chilling new twist—an abandoned campsite deep in the Washington wilderness may hold crucial clues.
Law enforcement sources confirm to TMZ that a makeshift campsite was recently discovered in the forests of central Washington, possibly tied to the fugitive father. But there’s one big issue: Was it Decker’s—or just careless campers?
🏕️ Found in the Forest: Could This Be Decker’s Hideout?
According to Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison, a friend of the Decker family stumbled upon the eerie site while hiking.
“We found some equipment that could have been his,” Morrison said. “But we don’t know for sure yet.”
Investigators are now DNA testing items found at the campsite, hoping to match them with Decker. However, this isn’t a Hollywood crime drama—the results aren’t instant.
“It’s not CSI. We’ve got other homicide cases in the queue, and not everything gets fast-tracked just because the media’s watching,” Morrison told TMZ.
🩸 Bloody Handprints & a Vanished Truck
The discovery comes after Decker’s abandoned pickup truck was found just 100 yards from the lifeless bodies of his three daughters, ages 6, 4, and 2. Allegedly, bloody handprints were spotted on the vehicle.
Still, despite media buzz, no confirmation has been made that the blood belongs to Decker.
“We’re still waiting on that DNA match,” said Sheriff Morrison. “We understand people want answers—but this takes time.”
🎯 Still on the Run—and Still Dangerous
While the trail’s gone cold for now, Travis Decker is still presumed to be alive—and authorities aren’t letting their guard down.
Morrison confirmed that Decker is no longer believed to be in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, but that doesn’t mean he’s harmless. The manhunt is now international, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and even Canadian authorities getting involved.
“Until a body is found, we will operate under the assumption that he’s alive,” Morrison stated.
🌍 “How to Move to Canada?” Google Search Raises Eyebrows
Adding to the mystery, cops previously revealed that Decker had searched for things like:
- “How does a person move to Canada?”
- “Jobs in Canada”
…just days before vanishing.
This has sparked concerns that the military-trained Decker may be attempting to cross international borders under the radar—possibly using his tactical training to stay hidden and survive in remote areas.
🚨 Public Urged to Stay Vigilant
Despite dwindling sightings, tips are still trickling in, and authorities remain hopeful that someone will spot something that finally cracks the case.
“If you see anything strange or suspicious in remote areas—don’t ignore it,” said Morrison.
“Call it in. You might help us stop a dangerous man.”
