Tragic Discovery: Three Sisters Found Dead in Washington State

In a heartbreaking turn of events, the bodies of three young sisters—Paityn, 9; Evelyn, 8; and Olivia, 5—were discovered in Washington state. Authorities suspect their father, Travis Decker, may be responsible for their deaths. The girls were found with plastic bags over their heads and zip ties on their wrists, likely asphyxiated. They were wearing the same clothes as when they disappeared on Friday.
Decker, who is homeless and believed to be traveling in a white 2017 GMC Sierra pickup truck, remains at large. A nationwide manhunt is underway, with a $20,000 reward offered for information leading to his arrest. The truck was found near the girls’ bodies, with two bloody handprints on the back, according to police documents.
Authorities urge anyone with information about Decker’s whereabouts to contact 911 or the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office tip line at 509-667-6845. Due to safety concerns, the public is advised not to approach or contact Decker.
The Chelan County Sheriff’s Office is collaborating with the U.S. Marshals to locate Decker, who is wanted on three counts of first-degree murder and kidnapping charges. The search continues as the community mourns the loss of the young girls.
