TRAGIC TRIPLE MURDER OF SISTERS SHOCKS AMERICA

WENATCHEE, Wash. – A heart-wrenching tragedy has struck the quiet community of Wenatchee, Washington, leaving the nation in mourning and disbelief. Three young sisters, Paityn Decker, 9, Evelyn Decker, 8, and Olivia Decker, 5, were found dead in early June 2025, turning a desperate search into a grim homicide investigation that has shocked America. The prime suspect in their deaths is their father, Travis Caleb Decker, 32, who is now the subject of a massive manhunt.

The horrifying ordeal began on Friday, May 30, 2025, when the girls failed to return home after a scheduled visitation with their father. Their mother, Whitney Decker, reported them missing, telling authorities that it was highly uncharacteristic of their father not to return them on time. This report triggered a multi-day search that culminated in a devastating discovery.

On Monday, June 2, 2025, law enforcement officials located Travis Decker’s pickup truck near the Rock Island Campground in Chelan County. A short distance from the vehicle, in a remote, wooded area, they found the bodies of the three little girls. Preliminary reports from the medical examiner’s office indicate that the sisters died from asphyxiation.

The subsequent investigation has painted a chilling picture of the events leading up to the tragedy. Court documents have revealed that Whitney Decker had previously expressed concerns about her ex-husband’s mental health and stability. Friends and family described a man who was an avid outdoorsman with extensive wilderness survival skills, a factor that authorities believe he may be using to evade capture.

Investigators have since uncovered disturbing evidence, including internet searches made by Travis Decker in the days before the girls’ disappearance on how to relocate to Canada. This has led to a nationwide alert and a multi-agency effort, including local police, the FBI, and U.S. Marshals, to locate him. He is now wanted on three counts of first-degree murder and kidnapping.

The community of Wenatchee has been shattered by the loss of the three bright and joyful sisters. A makeshift memorial of flowers, balloons, and heartfelt notes has grown at a local park, a testament to the community’s collective grief. A GoFundMe campaign established to support Whitney Decker has raised a significant amount, with thousands of people from across the country offering their condolences and support.

“Their joy touched so many,” said a family friend in the GoFundMe description. “They were vibrant, loving, and full of life.”

As the search for Travis Decker continues, a nation is left to grapple with the senseless loss of three innocent lives. The case has sparked a conversation about domestic violence and mental health, and has served as a tragic reminder of the vulnerabilities of children in custodial disputes. Law enforcement officials are urging the public to remain vigilant and to report any possible sightings of Travis Decker, who is considered armed and dangerous. For now, a grieving mother and a stunned community await justice for Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia.
