The tragic story of the three young girls who were allegedly killed by their homeless father has left the community in shock and mourning. Whitney Decker, the mother of the girls, was eagerly awaiting their return after a visit with their father, Travis Decker. When they did not come back, she reached out to her neighbor, Binh Nguyen, for help.
Nguyen shared that Whitney was hopeful that Travis had just gotten stranded in the mountains, but as time passed and the girls did not return, her worry grew. The next day, Whitney delivered the devastating news to Nguyen that her daughters – Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia – were found dead. Travis, their father, was nowhere to be found.
Whitney’s last conversation with Nguyen before the girls went missing revealed some unsettling behavior from Travis. He seemed sad and kept asking repetitive questions, as if he was not remembering what he had already said. Travis claimed he was working out of state in construction jobs, but his actions raised red flags for those who knew him.
As the search for Travis Decker continues, new information and surveillance footage have been released in the hopes of locating him. Whitney’s neighbor, Nguyen, was deeply affected by the tragedy and could not comprehend how someone could harm such beautiful children. The girls were found with plastic bags over their heads and their wrists zip-tied, indicating a disturbing and intentional act.
The community is now on high alert as police search for Travis, a skilled woodsman who could potentially survive off-grid for an extended period. A $20,000 reward is being offered for any information that leads to his arrest.
The heartbreaking loss of Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia has left a void in their family and the entire community. As they mourn the senseless loss of these young lives, they are united in their efforts to bring justice for the girls and ensure that Travis Decker faces the consequences of his alleged actions.
