On Friday, May 30 2025, Travis Decker failed to return his three daughters—Paityn (9), Evelyn (8), and Olivia (5) after a court-ordered visit in Wenatchee, Washington. Days later, their bodies were found at a remote campground.
Decker, a 32-year-old Army veteran with PTSD and BPD, vanished. He’s now wanted for three counts of first-degree murder and kidnapping. A nationwide manhunt is underway, with help from the FBI and U.S. Marshals. Authorities believe he may be using his military training to survive on the Pacific Crest Trail.
