Three sisters found d3ad at campsite after vanishing with their dad

It’s the depressing story gripping the nation — and the manhunt isn’t over.

Three young sisters, Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia Decker, just 5 years old, disappeared during what should’ve been a routine visit with their father Travis.

Days later, they were found d3ad at a Washington campsite — and now, police claimed that he’s the one who took their lives.

In a terrible tragedy that has happened in Washington State and captured national attention, three young sisters — Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia Decker, 5 — were found d3ad near the remote Rock Island campground in Wenatchee, roughly three hours east of Seattle.

A mother’s worst nightmare

The girls disappeared Friday evening after Decker picked them up for a three-hour visitation — a routine exchange their mother, Whitney, had initially not found war:ning.

But when 9:45 p.m. came and went without their return, and Decker’s phone went straight to voicemail, panic set in.

“I didn’t think he was unsafe,” Whitney told local station KIRO 7. “His mental health can be terrible sometimes, but he loved them.”

Court records, however, painted a more troubling picture. Decker was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, reportedly was not taking his prescribed medication, and had refused to sign a parenting plan that required therapy and anger management.

“I’ve bent over backwards to support their relationship,” Whitney wrote in court documents. “But I cannot have our girls living in what is a homeless shelter, or worse.”

A grisly discovery in the forest

Authorities found Decker’s truck around 3:45 p.m. Monday near Rock Island Campground after a weekend of worry and increasingly desperate searches.

Nearby, just 75 to 100 yards from the vehicle, police made the unthinkable discovery: the bodies of Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia.

Each girl had a plastic bag over her head and zip ties around their wrists. Inside were haunting remnants of what should have been a family outing: car seats, blankets, food, and Decker’s wallet.

“We will not rest”

The search for Decker has become a inter organization manhunt involving local law enforcement, the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and Homeland Security. Drones are now scouring the rugged wilderness of Icicle Road — a popular hiking and climbing area in the Cascade Mountains.

“Travis, if you’re listening,” Morrison said.

“this is your opportunity to turn yourself in. Do the right thing. Take accountability for your actions. We’re not going to rest.”

A community in mourning

On Tuesday evening, more than 300 people met in Memorial Park in Wenatchee for a vigil in honor of the three girls. Children blew bubbles into the sky as music played softly in the background. Ntes written in marker were taped to folding tables — one from a child named Grace read: “I am so sorry. No one deserves what happened to you.”

“These girls were true light in this world,” a GoFundMe for Whitney reads.

“And it is a darker place without them.”

By Tuesday night, the fundraiser had already delivered $350,000, with thousands of messages of love, heartbreak, and rage pouring in from across the country.

Still on the run

As of Wednesday morning, Travis Decker — described as 5’8”, 190 pounds, with black hair in a ponytail and brown eyes — continues missing. Authorities report he has no permanent residence and often stays in campgrounds or motels. He was last seen wearing a light-colored shirt and dark shorts.

Law enforcement continues to war:n the public: do not approach him — instead, contact police instantly with any sightings or information.
