It’s the heartbreaking story gripping the nation — and the manhunt isn’t over.
Three young sisters, Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia Decker, just 5 years old, vanished during what should’ve been a routine visit with their father Travis.
Days later, they were found dead at a Washington campsite — and now, police believe he’s the one who took their lives.
In a devastating tragedy that has rocked Washington State and captured national attention, three young sisters — Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia Decker, 5 — were found dead near the remote Rock Island campground in Wenatchee, roughly three hours east of Seattle.
According to the Wenatchee Police Department, the girls had been visiting the area with their father — a visit that turned into a nightmare, as he is currently wanted in connection with their murders.
The father, 32-year-old Travis Decker, remains at large, with law enforcement warning the public not to approach him.
Authorities believe Decker, a military veteran with extensive combat training and serious mental health struggles, suffocated his daughters during what was supposed to be a brief, court-approved visit.
The girls vanished Friday evening after Decker picked them up for a three-hour visitation — a routine exchange their mother, Whitney, had initially not found alarming.
