A mother’s worry turned into every parent’s nightmare when her three daughters, Olivia Decker, 5, Evelyn Decker, 8, and Paityn Decker, 9, failed to return home after a planned visit with their father, Travis Decker.
On May 30, 2025, Whitney Decker frantically called the police, saying her daughters hadn’t returned home and fearing something had happened to them.
Sadly, her intuition didn’t lie to her.
On June 2, the bodies of the killed three young sisters were found near Rock Island Campground in a remote spot of Washington state, not far from where Travis’ truck had been abandoned.
They had plastic bags on their heads and zip ties around their wrists.
Their father, who faces three counts of first-degree murder and kidnapping, is on the run.
“Travis Decker, 32, is now the prime suspect in the murders of his daughters,” police confirmed, warning the public he may be armed and dangerous.
Police also said Decker had no permanent address and had been staying in his truck, at campsites, and in motels.
His ex-wife and the mother of the killed girls raised concerns over Decker’s declining mental health, his unstable living situation, and the alleged endangerment of his children. As a result, his visitation rights were limited to a set amount of time every other weekend.
A chilling audio of Decker taken from a September 2024 custody hearing shared by the Wenatchee World in which he speaks of his daughters just months before they were found dead has emerged. In it, he pleads with with a family court judge to give him access to his daughters again.
“Every time I’ve had the girls, we have been in campsites and national forests and paid campsites that have campers,” Decker says in the audio.
He then adds: “We’ve never done anything that was unsafe, or anything I wouldn’t want to put myself in.”
A GoFundMe campaign has since been launched to support Whitney Decker, who is navigating not only the unimaginable emotional loss but the legal and financial aftermath.
