The U.S. Marshals Service says law enforcement were searching the area after a possible sighting, but confirmed the hiker was not Decker.

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.
