Manhunt for Travis Decker: Army Veteran Wanted for Murder of Three Daughters
Authorities are actively searching for Travis Decker, a 32-year-old Army veteran accused of murdering his three young daughters in Washington. The Chelan County Sheriff’s Office released a new wanted poster for Decker, featuring photos of his tattoos, hair, and clothing. Decker, who faces charges of kidnapping and first-degree murder, is described as dangerous and may be armed. The National Guard has been activated to assist in the search efforts.
Law enforcement personnel have been conducting extensive searches in various locations where Decker was known to frequent. The public is urged to remain vigilant and report any sightings of Decker to the authorities. Doorbell camera footage in the area is also being reviewed for any potential leads. Prior to the disappearance of Decker and his daughters, he had searched for information on crossing the border into Canada.
The search for Decker began when his daughters did not return from a visitation with him. His vehicle was later found near the Rock Island Campground, where the bodies of the three girls were discovered. Despite the search efforts, Decker remains at large. The children’s remains were found close to the Canadian border, raising concerns about his potential escape route.
Whitney Decker, the girls’ mother, had expressed concerns about her ex-husband’s mental state prior to the tragic incident. She cited his instability and its impact on their children in court documents. The divorce between Whitney and Travis Decker was finalized in 2024, with Whitney highlighting mental health issues as a primary reason for the separation. A GoFundMe page has been set up to support Whitney Decker with expenses and legal costs.
Authorities are seeking any information that could lead to the apprehension of Travis Decker. If you have any information about his whereabouts, please contact the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office or call 911. The search for Decker continues as law enforcement agencies work tirelessly to bring him to justice and ensure the safety of the community.
