Almost two months after he allegedly murdered his three daughters, the Sheriff’s Office of Chelan County said he is beginning to climb the search efforts for Travis Decker.
Paityn Decker, 9; Evelyn Decker, 8; And Olivia Decker, 5, was found dead near the Rock Island camp in Chelas County, Washington, on June 2, after they left their home for a planned visit with their father on May 30, according to the police.
While the search for Decker will continue, the authorities said on Friday that will do so with a “reduced footprint while criminal investigation is still ongoing” and described the search efforts around the desert and the initial scene of the crime as “exhaustive.”

“As of today, Mr. Decker has not yet been located, and there is not enough information to suggest that he is alive, or if he has died,” said the Sheriff’s office.
Despite a “decrease in potential customers and advice” about where Decker may be, the sheriff’s office said the detectives remain “actively involved in the evidence of processing and will continue to follow up” about any new information that they receive about the possible whereabouts of the father, including the sighting in Idaho earlier this month, which turned out to be decker.
Decker’s most recent search was carried out in the Blewett Pass area in the Wenatchee mountains, but the “potential evidence and intelligence collected in this area are not conclusive, which means that we cannot confirm that any of the information is directly associated with Mr. Decker,” the authorities said.
Three young sisters in Washington, Olivia Decker, 5, Paityn Decker, 9 years old, and Evelyn Decker, 8 who had not been seen since they left home for a scheduled visit with their father, have been found dead, according to the Wenatchee Police Department.

The authorities also said that those who “meet something to mark the location using GPS or other marking form if they are capable and even take photos if it is safe.”
Chelan County Sheriff, Mike Morrison, told ABC News earlier this month that officials are still “hopeful” to find Decker and know that this hunt could be a “long journey.”
“We could be in a fight for five years, 10 years, 20 years. I certainly hope we are looking a couple of weeks and closed, but it could spend a lot of time and we are committed to keeping that,” Morrison told ABC News.

The US Sheriff Service is still offering a reward of up to $ 20,000 for information that leads directly to Decker’s arrest.
The authorities said that anyone who sees Decker or knows about his whereabouts must call 911 immediately and not contact or approach him. He is currently sought by three first -degree murder positions and three kidnapping positions, authorities said.
Decker must be considered armed and dangerous, authorities said.
