Conservative News DailyJune 4, 2025

In central Washington state, law enforcement agencies are actively searching for Travis Decker, 32, who is wanted for the suspected murder of his three daughters: 9-year-old Paityn, 8-year-old Evelyn, and 5-year-old Olivia. The girls were found deceased near the Rock Island Campground shortly after they were last seen alive with their father during a planned visitation. Decker faces three charges of first-degree murder and kidnapping.

According to police reports, the girls were discovered with plastic bags over their heads and their wrists zip-tied, suggesting asphyxiation as the cause of death. Their bodies were located 75 to 100 yards from Decker’s abandoned vehicle. Authorities have been using drones and collaborating with multiple agencies, including the FBI and U.S. Marshals, in the search for Decker, who is believed to be homeless and potentially armed due to his military training.

Local officials have urged Decker to surrender himself, emphasizing that he will face justice for his actions. A sense of urgency surrounds the ongoing manhunt as detailed forensic evidence links him to the scene where his daughters were found.

Multiple law enforcement agencies are combing rugged ground in central Washington state in a manhunt for a man charged with murdering his three daughters.

Paityn Decker, 9; Evelyn Decker, 8; and Olivia Decker, 5, were all found dead Monday near the Rock Island Campground, according to KCBD.

Travis Decker, 32, their father, is wanted on three counts of first-degree murder and kidnapping charges.

The three missing sisters from Wenatchee were found dead at a campground west of Leavenworth, Washington, the Wenatchee Police Department confirmed. The girls were 5, 8, and 9 years old.

The girls were last seen alive Friday after they “left their home with the father for their planned visitation,” the Wenatchee Police Department posted on Facebook, saying the visit was “part of a parenting plan.”

The post, issued while there was hope the girls were still alive, said Decker was “homeless and living in his vehicle or at various hotels/motels or at campgrounds in the area.”

Police said that initially, the girls did not qualify for an Amber Alert.

A subsequent police department post said Decker’s truck was found, but he remains on the loose.

The post said, Decker has extensive military training, and it was not known if he was armed.

“We have no leads specifically showing where he is at,” Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison said, according to the Seattle Times. “Nothing is off the table.”

Members of the Border Patrol, Homeland Security investigations, the FBI, and the U.S. Marshals Office have joined the search, which is using drones in an effort to find Decker.

“And we will not rest until Travis is located,” Morrison said.

“Travis, if you’re listening, this is your opportunity to turn yourself in. Do the right thing, do what you need to do, and take accountability for your actions. We’re not going away. We’re not going to rest.”

“You will be brought to justice,” he said. “Those young ladies deserve it.”

An affidavit said the girls were found between 75 and 100 yards from Decker’s truck. Each had a plastic bag over her head.

Police believe the cause of their deaths to be asphyxiation and said their wrists were zip-tied.

Decker’s phone was in the area where the bodies were found on Saturday, court documents said.
