As the manhunt for Travis Decker, who has been charged with kidnapping and killing his daughters Paityn, Evelyn and Olivia, police say they are “closing in” on the fugitive.

A Washington state father is wanted for murder after his three young daughters were reported missing and then found dead.

Law enforcement has tracked someone they believe to be Travis Decker - accused of killing his own children - in the Blewett Pass area of Washington state Tuesday evening, the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

A man in central Washington state is wanted on suspicion of murder after his three young daughters were reported missing and then found dead. Police are asking the public for help locating 32-year-old Travis Decker.

"We're going to keep the pressure on," the Chelan County Sheriff told USA TODAY June 12 as he prepared to board a helicopter to help in the search.

Days before a Washington murder trial was to begin, prosecutors decided the evidence they had against the defendant — who was in custody for more than five years — was not good enough, and the victim’s family still wants an explanation.
