Travis Decker picked up his daughters for a scheduled visitation in Wenatchee, Washington. He promised to return them by 8\u202fPM\u2014but they never came home. Concerned, their mother, Whitney Decker, reported them missing that evening. Phone calls to Travis went straight to voicemail, raising alarms. Court records show growing concerns about his mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Investigators noted the family missed a planned 5K event. An Endangered Missing Person Alert was issued, though it did not qualify for an Amber Alert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tragically, a hiker discovered Travis\u2019s abandoned 2017 white GMC pickup near Rock Island Campground in Chelan County around 3\u202fPM. Inside the truck were his wallet, cellphone, and personal items. Nearby, the three sisters were found deceased, bound with zip ties and with plastic bags over their heads. Autopsies later confirmed homicidal suffocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cause of death was confirmed as suffocation, with all three deaths ruled homicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Manhunt Intensifies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
