CHELAN COUNTY, Wash. – A massive manhunt involving more than 100 law enforcement officers from multiple agencies continues Thursday as authorities search for murder suspect Travis Decker and warn the public to call 911 immediately if they spot him.
More than 100 officers continue searching for murder suspect Travis Decker as investigators analyze over 500 public tips, according to a Chelan County Sheriff’s Office press release.
The multi-agency manhunt has drawn dozens of law enforcement professionals to Chelan County. Officials report morale remains high among command post staff despite the complex investigation, the release stated.
