IDAHO — The U.S. Marshals Service is investigating a possible sighting of Travis Decker in the woods of Idaho. It’s been over a month since the father first went missing, after deputies say he kidnapped and killed his three young daughters, Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia.
Decker is now on the US Marshal’s “Top 15 Most Wanted” list.
The U.S. Marshals Service Greater Idaho Fugitive Task Force asks anyone recreating in the Sawtooth National Forest, specifically in the Bear Creek area, over the 4th of July weekend to come forward with any tips.
Beginning on July 5, 2025, the U.S. Marshal Service reportedly received a tip from a family recreating in the Bear Creek area of the Sawtooth National Forest, consistent with the description of Travis Decker.
