Tragic Case of Three Young Girls Found Dead in Washington State: Father Wanted for Murder and Kidnapping
Three young girls were tragically found dead in a remote area of Washington State, with evidence suggesting they were asphyxiated. Their father, Travis Decker, is wanted on charges of first-degree murder and kidnapping. Decker's ex-wife reported him to authorities when he failed to return the girls after a visit. Despite a seemingly civil divorce, Decker had not been compliant with a parenting plan that included mental health treatment and anger management counseling. Decker, a military veteran, has been absent from National Guard drills for a year. A search for the girls led to the discovery of their bodies and the issuance of an arrest warrant for Decker. His abandoned pickup truck near the scene contained disturbing evidence, including zip ties and plastic bags. The U.S. Marshals Service is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to Decker's capture.
