Three Sisters Found Dead in Washington, Father Wanted for Murders

Three young sisters—Paityn, 9; Evelyn, 8; and Olivia Decker, 5—were found dead near Rock Island Campground in Washington after going missing following a planned visitation with their father, Travis Decker. Decker, 32, is wanted for their murders and kidnapping, and authorities warn he may be armed and dangerous due to his military background, although it is unknown if he currently has a weapon. The girls were last seen with their father on May 30, who was believed to be homeless and living out of his white 2017 GMC Sierra pickup truck, which was found abandoned near the location where the bodies were discovered. The police did not issue an Amber Alert initially because they considered the case an overdue child scenario rather than an abduction, leading to public criticism accusing authorities of failing to protect the girls. An extensive manhunt is underway, and the public is urged to call 911 if they have any information about Decker’s whereabouts. The causes of death have not been released, and the investigation remains ongoing.
