Three Washington children who were last seen with their father duringa planned visitation have been found dead.
Three young sisters, Paityn Decker, 9, Evelyn Decker, 8, and Olivia Decker, 5, were tragically discovered dead at Rock Island Campground in Chelan County. The authorities made this heartbreaking find at 3:45 p.m. on Monday, near their father’s white 2017 GMC Sierra truck. The Wenatchee Police Department informed the public about the devastating discovery on Tuesday, refraining from disclosing the causes of the children’s deaths.
The police have disclosed that the father of the girls, Travis Decker, aged 32, remains missing. He is currently wanted on three charges of first-degree murder and one charge of kidnapping in connection with this appalling incident.
“It is unknown whether Decker is currently armed, but he may pose a significant risk, if approached,” police said on Facebook.
Prior reports from CrimeOnline indicated that the children were last seen in the company of their father back on May 30. The police department shared that Decker is known to be living transiently, being homeless and regularly moving between his vehicle, as well as hotels, motels, and campgrounds in the vicinity.
“The visitation was part of a parenting plan, but he has since gone outside the parameters of it, which is not normal and cause for the alarm.”
Anyone with information on Decker is urged to call 911 immediately. He’s described as a white male who stands at 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs 190 pounds. He was last seen wearing a light shirt and dark shorts.
