A devastating tragedy has gripped Chelan County, Washington, where three young sisters—Paityn Decker (9), Evelyn Decker (8), and Olivia Decker (5)—were found dead near Rock Island Campground late Monday evening.
The girls were last seen on Friday, May 30, during a court-scheduled visitation with their father, 32-year-old Travis Decker. When they failed to return home, their mother, Whitney Decker, reported them missing. A heartbreaking search ended in horror as their bodies were discovered just days later.
Travis Decker WANTED
Now, a statewide manhunt is underway for Travis, who is wanted on three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of first-degree kidnapping. Authorities describe Decker as a former military serviceman, standing 5’8”, 190 pounds, with black hair (possibly in a ponytail) and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a light-colored shirt and dark shorts.
Law enforcement has warned the public that Travis Decker may be dangerous. Anyone who spots him is urged not to approach but to call 911 immediately.
The girls’ mother, Whitney, said that although Travis had experienced mental health struggles since his military discharge, there had never been any red flags during previous visitations. “I never thought something like this could happen,” she said through tears.
A deputy located Decker’s empty vehicle—a white 2017 GMC Sierra pickup—around 3:45 p.m. on Monday near Rock Island Campground. The bodies were discovered during a search of the immediate area.
