Search for Travis Decker narrows

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Officials believe they're on the trail of Travis Decker and have narrowed the manhunt for the Washington father suspected of killing his three young daughters to a mountainous area not far from where the girls were last reportedly seen alive.

Authorities received a tip about a lone hiker near the Colchuck Lake in the Enchantments, the Chelan County Sheriff's Office announced to the public in a post on social media on Tuesday evening, June 10.

The hiker appeared to be unprepared to be on the trail and seemed to avoid others. Upon responding to the tip, trackers spotted a lone hiker off trail who ran out of sight as soon as a helicopter passed, the sheriff's office said.

Trackers later deployed K9s to the area and have tracked the man to the area of the Ingalls Creek Trailhead on U.S. Route 97, the sheriff's office said.

1. Hideous story.

I'm curious about the motive--whether this was possibly an act of aggression against the mother of these girls. They were suffocated, which just seems so horrendously personal for a parent to do to their own children. Ghastly. I'm sort of doubtful they'll find him alive. But on the other hand, I'm surprised they didn't find him deceased at the scene.
