CHELAN COUNTY, Wash. - Law enforcement are still looking for Travis Decker, who is wanted in connection with the murders of his three daughters.
The Chelan County Sheriff's Office is working closely with U.S. Marshals in the search for Decker, and on Tuesday night, deputies announced a reward of up to $20,000 is being offered for information leading to his arrest. Decker is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping.
Decker is accused of killing his three daughters, 5-year-old Olivia, 8-year-old Evelyn and 9-year-old Paityn, during a planned visitation on Friday, May 30.
The girls were located on Monday, June 3, days after being reported missing. Their bodies were found at the Rock Island Campground, located off Icicle Road in Leavenworth.
Decker's vehicle was nearby with two bloody handprints, and had personal items such as blankets, food, car seats and a wallet on the center console. The camp showed signs of recent activity, with a tent and cooler located a short distance away.
