Three young sisters, Paityn (9), Evelyn (8), and Olivia Decker (5), were found dead near a campground in Wenatchee, Washington, days after vanishing during a visit with their homeless father, Travis Decker.
Authorities are now searching for Decker, a military veteran, who faces charges of kidnapping and first-degree murder.
The girls had been reported missing after their father failed to return them following a planned visit.
Despite a history of mental health struggles, the children’s mother said she had never feared for their safety until this devastating turn.
Federal agencies and SWAT teams are involved in the ongoing manhunt.
Why would anyone allow 3 young children a visit with a homeless individual. Beggars belief, obviously wanted to hurt the mother. TRAGIC
