Overview

• Travis Decker, 32, faces charges of kidnapping and first-degree murder after Paityn, 9; Evelyn, 8; and Olivia, 5, were discovered on June 2 with plastic bags over their heads and zip ties on their wrists.
• Decker had been living out of his truck and was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, prompting his ex-wife to restrict his overnight visits because of concerns over his mental stability.
• More than 100 officers from local, state and federal agencies are combing rugged terrain, and over 500 tips have been reported as large areas of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest remain closed through at least June 18.
• Investigators have executed multiple search warrants on Decker’s electronic devices, generating new digital leads that are being pursued alongside public tips.
• Authorities warn that Decker’s military survival training makes him potentially dangerous and advise cabin owners along the Pacific Crest Trail and in surrounding counties to secure their properties and remain vigilant.
