Overview

  • The three Decker sisters, aged 5 to 9, were found on June 2 at Rock Island Campground bound with zip ties and suffocated under plastic bags.
  • Their father, 32-year-old Army veteran Travis Decker, failed to return them from a scheduled visit on May 30 and faces charges of first-degree murder, kidnapping and unlawful flight.
  • After more than three weeks of searching the Cascade Mountains, officials report there is no certain evidence that Decker remains alive or in Washington.
  • Search teams have deployed cadaver dogs and air operations in rugged areas from Teanaway Valley to Blewett Pass as part of a multi-agency manhunt.
  • At a June 20 memorial service in Wenatchee, the girls’ mother, Whitney Decker, honored her daughters’ “warm and open hearts” and urged their legacy to endure.
