Suspected Killer Travis Decker Cops Zero In On Abandoned Campsite ... As Massive Manhunt Continues

Published

Cops are investigating a campsite found in the Washington state woods where Travis Decker is believed to have gone on the run after allegedly killing his three young daughters -- this according to Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison.

Sheriff Morrison tells TMZ the abandoned campsite was discovered while an associate was on a hike in central Washington ... but there's a major problem -- they can't tell if the mystery equipment was left by lazy campers or if it's a spot where Decker sought shelter while on the lam.

Morrison says investigators are DNA-testing several pieces of evidence found throughout the intense search for "killer dad" Decker ... but it's not a quick turnaround like people are used to seeing on crime shows like "CSI."
