Travis Decker is on the run, accused of the unthinkable: murdering his three young daughters in Washington. An Army veteran with survival training and a history of living off-grid, Decker has sparked a massive manhunt that feels more like tracking a ghost than a fugitive. In this week’s Dead Diary, we dig into the chilling timeline leading up to the murders, the psychological unraveling of a man trained for war, and the tactical challenges facing law enforcement as they close in. But this case isn’t just about one man, it’s about the cracks in the systems meant to prevent tragedies like this. From military scars to a manhunt through the wild, we’re cutting through the chaos to find the truth.
