The man mistaken for Travis Decker in Idaho’s Sawtooth National Forest has revealed the text message he received telling him authorities were searching for Decker where that man had been camping.
Speaking with Idaho News 6, identified in the press only as “Nick” from Garden City, Idaho, said he was camping in the Sawtooth area over the July 4 weekend when he decided to take a solo hike along Bear Creek, where the alleged Decker sighting was reported. The person who reported seeing Decker described to investigators a man hiking alone who matched Decker’s description, but who failed to make eye contact.
