() New video has surfaced showing Travis Decker three days before his daughters went missing, according to USA Today.
The footage released from the Wenatchee Police Department reveals an interaction between Decker, a police officer and another driver on May 27. Decker had slammed into a car that was stopped at a red light.
The interaction lasted nearly 20 minutes.
This development comes after the manhunt for Decker, 33, has hit a bit of a “dead end”. Decker has been wanted by authorities since early last month, when his truck and the bodies of his three daughters were found after he was supposed to return the girls to their mother’s home.
“We have not given up on the search efforts,” Chelan County Sheriff Michael Morris said. “We recognize there is a potential that he could be deceased, so we’re also looking for that potential. We’ve got our forest service deputy out searching trails that we hadn’t yet searched. So we’re going to continue to do what we can here locally.”
Just last week, police were contacted by a family about a hiker resembling Decker who was spotted in an Idaho forest. Officials confirmed it wasn’t him despite the hiker being the same height and approximate weight as Decker, with similar features.
In addition, U.S. Marshals acknowledged they received a tip back on July 5 from a family that claimed to have seen a person with a description of the individual consistent with that of Decker.
Before Decker disappeared, he was reported homeless and living in his truck.
