Federal authorities in Idaho say they have ended a search in the Sawtooth National Forest after determining it was case of mistaken identity.

U.S. Marshals confirm the man spotted in Idaho's Sawtooth National Forest was not Travis Decker, who is wanted for the murders of his three daughters in Washington.

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