  • Authorities found the bodies of three young girls, ages nine, eight, and five, near Leavenworth, Washington, while searching for their father, Travis Decker, in June 2025.
  • The girls were reported missing after Decker failed to return them following a scheduled visitation late in May, with his unoccupied truck found near Rock Island campground on June 2nd.
  • Investigators discovered the girls' zip-tied bodies about 75 to 100 yards from the truck and suspect asphyxiation as the cause of death while law enforcement conducts an active manhunt for Decker.
  • Travis Decker, a 32-year-old former Army and National Guard member with reported mental health challenges, is being sought by authorities on suspicion of committing three first-degree murders and kidnapping; police caution the public against approaching him due to the potential danger he may pose.
  • The case has prompted community support efforts and counseling services for the girls' school and families, while authorities continue a multi-agency search and offer a $20,000 reward for information leading to Decker’s arrest.
