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.

U.S. Marshals say the hiker cooperated with law enforcement and is the same height and roughly the same weight as Decker. He also has dark features, a beard, and tattoos on his arm and calf. Investigators interviewed the man and confirmed he was hiking in the Bear Creek area over the Fourth of July weekend.
