The search for Travis Decker, the Army veteran accused of murdering his three young daughters, continues as new photos have been released in hopes of capturing him. Decker, deemed “dangerous” and possibly armed, is on the run after the bodies of his daughters, Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia, were found bound and with plastic bags over their heads near an abandoned truck where he had been living.
A wanted poster for Decker showcases his distinctive tattoos and his hair pulled back in a ponytail, along with the clothes he was last seen wearing. The National Guard has been deployed to aid in the manhunt for Decker, who had searched for information on relocating to Canada just days before the tragic discovery of his daughters’ bodies near the Rock Island Campground in Chelan County.
The heartbreaking search began when Decker’s daughters did not return from a scheduled visitation with their father. Their mother’s attorney described Decker as a “broken” man rather than a cold-blooded killer, suggesting that something had snapped in him leading up to the alleged murders. Court documents revealed that Whitney Decker had filed a protection order petition against Travis Decker due to his erratic behavior in the weeks prior to the tragic incident.
The new photos released by police show Decker’s tattoos and his distinctive ponytail hairstyle. The details of the case paint a grim picture of a man who was once a father to three beautiful girls, now wanted for their brutal murders. The community remains on high alert as the manhunt for Travis Decker intensifies, with hopes of bringing him to justice for the heinous crime he is accused of committing.
