At the end of May 2025, Whitney Decker reported her three daughters, Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia Decker, missing from Wenatchee, Washington, after their father, Travis Decker, failed to return them after their scheduled visit with him. She reported them missing less than two hours after they were due back home with her.
However, a few days later, the girls were found deceased. Travis Decker has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder but has not yet been located. He is considered a threat to others and a threat to himself.
If you see Travis Caleb Decker, call 911 immediately. It’s unknown if he is armed, but he is considered to be dangerous, so law enforcement officials urge you not to attempt to approach him. If you have information about Travis Decker’s whereabouts, you can call the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office Tip Line at 509-667-6845. You can also submit a tip online here:
A $20,000 reward is being offered by the US Marshal’s Office for information leading to the arrest of Travis Decker.
