Authorities Track Washington Father Suspected Killing Three Daughters

Authorities in Chelan County, Washington, are actively searching for Travis Decker, a 32-year-old father accused of murdering his three young daughters by suffocation, with their wrists zip-tied. Decker, a former Army infantryman and National Guard member known for living off-grid, was last spotted by hikers in the Enchantments area near Ingalls Creek Trailhead, acting evasive and ill-prepared for the harsh trail conditions. Law enforcement has deployed tracking teams, including K-9 units and helicopters, to locate Decker, who is considered armed and dangerous. The investigation revealed evidence including Decker’s white pickup truck with bloody handprints and his dog, now in the care of a local animal rescue. Authorities have urged local residents and visitors to remain vigilant, secure their properties, and report any suspicious activity while offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to Decker's capture. Mental health issues, including borderline personality disorder, have been reported in court documents, and Decker faces charges of first-degree murder and kidnapping, with a potential sentence of life imprisonment without parole.
