‘Killer’ dad Travis Decker is still alive after murdering 3 daughters as farms ransacked and bag found, sheriff insists

CHILLING clues have been revealed in the manhunt for the dad accused of killing his three young daughters.

Travis Decker, 32, is believed to still be alive and on the loose as the search for him nears four weeks long, according to police.

Decker has been on the run since allegedly suffocating his daughters to death during a scheduled custody visit on May 30.

Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia Decker, 5, were found at a campground in Washington state with bags tied over their heads and their wrists zip-tied three days after their mom reported them missing.

Cops have tirelessly turned over the harsh Washington terrain for weeks, searching by land and air, as officials warned Decker might last long in the wilderness due to his military history and survival skills.

Now, Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison is doubling down on his belief that Decker is still out there, despite mounting speculation that he might have taken his own life after the alleged killings.

“At this point, unless we find him deceased, I’m going to consider him alive,” Morrison told NBC affiliate KING-TV in a sit-down interview.

The sheriff said authorities are responding as though Decker is still out there due to recent leads, including one from last week where a group of hikers saw a man walking alone.

Potential sightings have been reported in parts of Washington, Idaho, Canada, and even as far as Texas, Morrison said.

Tips from the public have also led cops to abandoned equipment and supplies, including a backpack that was recently found empty with only a rock inside.

Morrison said that he doesn’t believe the backpack belonged to Decker because so many hikers leave gear behind, but cops are still investigating as they’re leaving no stone unturned.

The sheriff said law enforcement officers are also investigating recent reports of break-ins and eggs being stolen from farms and backyards.

However, he denied that there were any cases that he could confirm were linked to Decker.

“One call we just got was that chicken coop got eggs taken out of it,” Morrison explained.

“So of course they’re wondering, hey who would have come in and taken our eggs?”

“So we want to follow up on that too because we understand that could be a food source for somebody.”

RAIDED CHICKEN COOPS

On June 17, a homeowner posted on Facebook that a trespasser was stealing eggs out of their chicken coops in Yakima, Washington.

“Beware some people are raiding chicken coops,” the Facebook user warned.

“For 2 days in a row someone has stolen chicken eggs an feed from my chicken coop. I have a self feeder that they took most of the food from also took all the eggs but 1 chicken hid 2 of her eggs and that was all I found.

“I usually get close to a dozen eggs every day from them till now so I have had to take measures to catch whoever they are. So keep an eye on your chickens.”

She added that the thief wore all black and didn’t show up on her security cameras.

It’s unclear if the incident is related to the search for Decker.

Yakima is over 100 miles away from Rock Island Campground, where the Decker girls were found.

HORRIFIC CRIME SCENE

Cops found “a large amount of evidence” from Decker’s truck, which was left at the campsite with bloody adult-sized handprints on the tailgate.

They collected human male blood and nonhuman blood at the scene.

I certainly feel like he’s done a disservice to himself and he’s just done an evil act and I want him to come forward and take accountability for it.

Decker’s dog was also recovered and given to an animal shelter.

Morrison told the public to contact police with any information about Decker’s whereabouts.

Anyone who sees Decker is warned to stay away from him as he’s considered dangerous and potentially armed.

The sheriff said he isn’t sure what Decker’s motivation or plan is, but that he hopes to capture him alive to bring him to justice.

“I couldn’t see a lot of things that would motivate him to want to live,” Morrison told KING-TV.

“His daughters are gone. He no longer has the life that he wants to have.”

“At this point, if he’s trying to push and evade us, we’re not sure why.”

He added, “I could tell him, I don’t think anyone likes him. I don’t think anyone wants him to come back into society.

“I certainly feel like he’s done a disservice to himself and he’s just done an evil act and I want him to come forward and take accountability for it.”

Morrison said earlier this week that anyone who sympathizes with Decker, a homeless veteran with PTSD, is not helping the investigation.

“There’s some that may be sympathetic to his cause, which I think would be misguided,” Morrison told NewsNation.

“I mean, he’s accused of murder, not just once, but three times, and he is a danger. So, for those that might have sympathy towards him, please allow the opportunity for us to do our job.”

Latest update from CCSO

The Chelan County Sheriff's Office released the following update in the search for Travis Decker, along with new pictures of how the suspect could have potentially altered his appearance, on June 17:

Investigators continue to process crime scene evidence while search teams remain engaged on the ground and from the air.

CCSO Detectives continue their in-depth investigation by continuing to gather information from both new sources, and reviewing lab results from evidence gathered on the scene. At the same time, CCSO, Kittitas County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO), The WA Army National Guard (WA ANG) and the US Marshals Service are conducting collaborative search efforts to locate Mr. Decker.

As of today, we and our law enforcement partners continue a concerted effort into the triple homicide investigation and search for the suspect, Travis Decker. Personnel are deployed throughout the region and backcountry areas of Chelan and Kittitas Counties following up on leads and searching for signs of Mr. Decker. While search operations continue around the clock, CCSO Detectives are further developing the criminal case, conducting follow up interviews, processing evidence, and reviewing data and analysis from evidentiary items sent to the crime lab for processing.

KCSO has been placing numerous resources on the ground and in the air. CCSO is very thankful for their assistance, especially given their experience with searching for suspects in the woods, which they are currently deploying for this case.

Service Members of the WA ANG continue to be a vital resource to the search as they have continued aerial surveillance, provided more air assets, and conducted personnel movements for the ground search teams. They are a critical component in getting personnel into remote areas for tracking and searching. Along with the WA ANG, CCSO’s Air Support Unit (ASU) has also remained engaged, flying the search areas while providing more eyes in the sky and assisting with coordination of the ground search teams. CCSO Search and Rescue (SAR) personnel are deployed for the search as well. Their vast experience, training, and expertise within our remote areas is an incredibly valuable asset to the operation.

The US Marshals Service has been another vital component of this investigation, more particular with the search for Mr. Decker. They are conducting in depth investigations, interviews, assessments, and deploying specialized personnel while assuming the lead role in the search for Mr. Decker. CCSO will maintain a primary focus on the criminal investigation and continue to supplement the Marshal’s Service when needed.

During all of these simultaneous operations, the day-to-day law enforcement operations continue here at CCSO. Our Patrol Supervisors and Deputies have done an incredible job at maintaining the needs and safety of our citizens despite the heavy toll this case has taken on our personnel, resources, and communities. They continue to allocate resources and personnel to ensure shifts are staffed while we enter our busy season, ensuring our neighborhoods, roadways, and waterway remain safe for all to enjoy. The personnel of RIVERCOM, our local dispatch center, have also been instrumental in this investigation and have shown great resilience in their ability to take on the influx of calls we are receiving at the onset of our busy season.

Our Office was notified of a TikTok video that was released which portrays Sheriff Morrison and claims Mr. Decker has been taken into custody after a long standoff. To be clear, Mr. Decker is not in custody and CCSO had no part in making the video.

At this time, we do not have any additional information that would suggest there is a threat to public safety, particularly within the back country and remote areas of our region. To our knowledge, all trails and recreation sites managed by the US Forest Service remain open to the public. However, we still encourage everyone who is outside recreating to remain vigilant and report any suspicious information to law enforcement.

Here at CCSO we are extremely grateful for all of the men and women of the law enforcement agencies who have, have been, and currently are, participating in this investigation. The combined team effort is what gives the greatest opportunity in bringing this case to a close.

The United States Marshals Service is offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading directly to Travis DECKER’s arrest. The suspect should be considered armed and dangerous.

If you see Travis Decker, please call 911 immediately and do not attempt to contact or approach him. Anyone with information is urged to contact the nearest U.S. Marshals office, the U.S. Marshals Service Communications Center at 1-800-336-0102, or USMS Tips at www.usmarshals.gov/tips.

American must file claims for checks from $95 million ‘snooping Siri’ settlement before July deadline 

TIME is running out for Americans to file claims for a share of a $95 million payout.

Eligible Apple users will only get a payment if they file on or before July 2, 2025.

Those eligible have until July 2, 2025 to file a claim[/caption]

The settlement alleges that the company recorded confidential or private communications from current or former owners or purchasers of Siri Devices.

It’s also alleged that while Apple obtained the users’ information, it was then shared with third parties due to an “unintended Siri activation,” according to the settlement website.

The claims alleged are a violation of consumer protection laws and privacy laws.  

However, Apple denies all of the allegations and that it did anything improper or unlawful despite settling.

To score the cash, you must file a claim by July 2, 2025.

GET YOUR MONEY

The $95 million settlement provides a cap of $20 per Siri Device.

Just note that the amount available to will increase or decrease pro rata depending on the total number of claims submitted, and Siri Devices claimed.

However, the final amount can’t be known until all claims have been evaluated.

Those eligible may submit claims for up to five Siri Devices.

While the settlement amount has been announced, it still must go through the court.

On August 1, 2025, at 9am the court will have the final approval hearing, to decide whether to approve the Settlement.  

The final amount and payment date will not be decided until the court hearing.

ARE YOU ELIGIBLE?

The settlement benefits all U.S. current, former, owners or purchasers of a Siri Device whose confidential or private communications were obtained by Apple.

Additionally, the data must have been shared with third parties without consent or knowledge.  

The dates to qualify are September 17, 2014 to December 31, 2024.

Just note that the settlement class excludes: 

  • Apple
  • Any entity in which Apple has a controlling interest
  • Apple’s directors 
  • Officers and employees
  • Apple’s legal representatives, successors, and assigns 
  • Judicial officers assigned to this case and their staff and immediate families

What's a class-action settlement?

Class action lawsuits offer groups of people, or 'classes,' a way to band together in court.

These suits are often brought by one or a few people who allege a company or other entity has wronged a large group of people.

When a suit becomes a class action, it extends to all “class members,” or people who may have similar complaints to those who filed the suit.

Companies often settle class actions – offering payment to class members who typically waive their right to pursue further legal action by accepting money.

These payout agreements frequently include statements by the defendant denying wrongdoing. Companies tend to settle class actions to avoid the costs of further litigation.

Pollution, discrimination, or false advertising are a few examples of what can land a class action on a company’s doorstep.

MORE MONEY

T-Mobile is also sending out the first round of $25,000 checks from the $350 million data breach settlement.

The data breach settlement has been involved in the lawsuit for years, relating to a 2021 cyberattack.

Roughly 76 million customers were exposed, potentially revealing personal information such as addresses, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth.

Popular home appliance brand Whirlpool is also paying up after it was found that some of its refrigerators, sold under three different brands, may develop frost build-up that interferes with cooling.

The lawsuit alleges that specific Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Maytag refrigerators sold between 2012 and 2019 have a manufacturing defect that causes excessive frost to accumulate on the evaporator.

This frost buildup allegedly prevents the refrigerator from cooling food properly, leading to other damage.

Four-letter code on your boarding pass could make you miss your flight – check for sign before you reach TSA

TRAVELERS are urged to check this four-letter code on their boarding pass that could throw their plans out the window.

It’s always important to plan ahead if you’re traveling, especially when you’re going to the airport.

Things such as making sure you have all your necessary documents or arriving at the airport at least two hours before your flight can ensure that you have an easy travel experience.

However, if you see SSSS on your boarding pass, you’ll have to allot more time to your plans, or you could end up missing your flight.

The code stands for “Secondary Security Screening Selection,” meaning that a passenger has been chosen for extra security screening.

Travelers with this code are urged to show up at the airport an extra half hour early, as getting through security will take longer than normal.

During the security screening, these passengers will get extra attention from officials, including a pat down, swabbing for explosive residue, and opening their bags.

Passengers may also need to provide extra information to prove identity and a detailed explanation of all travel plans.

However, this usually only applies to those flying to the US, but some passengers have said they’ve seen the code on their passes when traveling abroad to countries such as Turkey.

The code was introduced by the Transportation Security Administration in the years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks as an extra security measure for passengers travelling in or out of the US.

The number of people on the SSSS is unclear since it’s a secret, but there’s a sign that you could be on it.

People are added to the list after being randomly selected by a computer, according to the TSA.

However, a source close to the agency claimed that there are other ways to get on the SSSS, such as paying for a plane ticket with cash or regularly buying one-way tickets.

Once you’re on the SSSS list, it’s hard to get off, but anyone can appeal to the Department of Security’s Traveler Redress Inquiry Program.

Some travelers may notice they’re constantly getting additional screening due to mistaken identity.

If that’s the case, the Department of Homeland Security must be notified to address the issue.

The DHS has the Traveler’s Redress Inquiry Program, providing people with a redress control number that can be used to confirm the traveler’s identity.

“The DHS Traveler Redress Inquiry Program can provide resolution to travelers with difficulties getting through security and inspection at airport checkpoints, train stations, and when crossing US borders,” the agency said on its website.

The program is designed for travelers who have been denied boarding or are repeatedly asked for extra screenings.

There are options for both domestic and international travelers, and the DHS offers applications.

Once a passenger’s case is reviewed, successful applicants can receive a redress number to add to future airline bookings.

However, this doesn’t guarantee never seeing an SSSS code on your pass again, but it can reduce the frequency of airport security issues.

LA Dodgers fan ‘kicked out of stadium’ after brandishing anti-ICE banner as MLB team turns away agents

A LOS Angeles Dodgers fan was reportedly escorted out of the stadium after unveiling a banner.

The incident came after the Major League Baseball franchise turned away federal officials from their grounds.

The Athletic’s Dodgers beat writer Fabian Ardaya posted a video on X.

It appeared to show security asking a fan to leave their seat at Dodger Stadium.

The fan was holding a banner that said “ICE out of LA.”

The incident took place during the Los Angeles Dodgers’ game with the San Diego Padres.

Earlier in the day, the Dodgers said they refused Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials access to the stadium.

Footage was shared on social media of federal agents outside Dodger Stadium on Thursday morning.

The team said in a statement, “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots.

“They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization.”

But ICE hit back at the Dodgers.

“False, we were never there,” they said in a post on X.

The Department of Homeland Security also issued a statement, claiming the officials were Customs and Border Protection officers.

“This had nothing to do with the Dodgers,” the DHS said.

“CBP vehicles were in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement.”

Anti-ICE protests were once again taking place in the city.

Protesters are unhappy with President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

Raids by immigration officials have swept southern California in recent weeks.

The Dodgers also canceled plans to unveil their initiatives to help local immigrant communities Thursday.

“Because of the events earlier today, we continue to work with groups that were involved with our programs,” Dodgers president Stan Kasten said.

“But we are going to have to delay today’s announcement while we firm up some more details.

“We’ll get back to you soon with the timing.”
