Custody Visit Turned Murder - 8 Red Flags in the Travis Decker Timeline

Description: The Travis Decker case timeline reveals eight critical warning signs that should have prevented the custody visit that ended in triple murder. Expert psychotherapist Shavaun Scott analyzes the devastating 48-hour period when a routine court-ordered visitation became a planned execution of three innocent children. This comprehensive breakdown exposes how multiple systems failed to recognize escalating danger signals that could have saved Olivia, Evelyn, and Paityn Decker's lives.

Our detailed timeline analysis reveals how Travis Decker's behavior in the days and weeks leading up to May 30th showed clear indicators of planned violence. From his Google searches about moving to Canada to his concerning statements about his mental state, the evidence points to premeditation that family court officials and mental health professionals failed to identify. Shavaun Scott provides expert psychological analysis of each warning sign and explains how trained professionals should have recognized the escalating risk.

This investigation examines the specific red flags that appeared in Decker's behavior, communications, and actions before the murders, including his research into escape routes, his statements about wanting to kill, and his threatening interactions with family members. We analyze how custody evaluators, mental health professionals, and court officials missed multiple opportunities to intervene and prevent this tragedy.

The case serves as a devastating example of how warning signs of familicide can be present but ignored by systems designed to protect children. Our expert analysis reveals the psychological patterns that preceded the murders and provides crucial insights into preventing similar tragedies. We examine how each red flag should have triggered protective interventions and why the current system failed to connect the dots that could have saved three young lives.

This comprehensive timeline analysis provides essential education for family court professionals, mental health workers, and law enforcement about recognizing and responding to escalating familicide risk factors.
