The search had drawn a significant response from federal, state, and local agencies after the tipster described a man matching Decker’s description exhibiting odd behavior on an ATV trail not commonly used by hikers.

U.S. Marshals said they received two tips, one from a family visiting Bear Creek on July 5, consistent with Decker's description.

The U.S. Marshals Service Greater Idaho Fugitive Task Force said on Wednesday afternoon that authorities located the man multiple witnesses saw at the Sawtooth National Forest, who was believed to be Travis Decker.
