Authorities said they're tracking a "lone hiker" they believe could be Travis Caleb Decker near a mountain pass in the Wenatchee Mountains of Washington state.
Decker, 32, has been charged with murder and kidnapping after his three daughters were found dead last week. Investigators have been looking for him since the night of May 30, when he failed to return the girls to their mother's home in Wenatchee, about 100 miles east of Seattle, after a scheduled visit.
In a statement, the Chelan County Sheriff's Office said law enforcement officials have tracked someone they believed to be Decker.
"Our office recently received a tip from a hiking party who stated they spotted a lone hiker in the Enchantments area who appeared to be ill prepared for trail and weather conditions, and appeared to be avoiding others," the sheriff's office wrote on social media, asking the public in the area to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
Tracking teams in a helicopter later spotted a solo hiker near Colchuck Lake who ran from sight as soon as the helicopter passed, the sheriff's office said.
