New photos have been released of Travis Decker as the huge manhunt continues for the Army veteran wanted for allegedly murdering his three young daughters.
The search began on Friday, May 30, when Decker’s daughters didn’t return from a scheduled visitation with their dad.
Decker was on “the brink of something really extreme” in the weeks before he allegedly killed his three little girls, new court documents show.
His erratic behavior prompted Whitney Decker to quickly file a protection order petition against the accused killer.
“He had seemed better, then it seemed like things just started happening one after another,” Whitney Decker wrote in the documents.
As the massive manhunt for the Army veteran wanted for allegedly killing his three young daughters continues, new images of Travis Decker have surfaced.
In a new wanted poster, Decker is depicted wearing the same clothes he was last seen in before he fled with his daughters, along with his characteristic tattoos and his hair pulled back in a ponytail.
A week after the bodies of his daughters, Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5, were discovered bound and with plastic bags over their heads close to an abandoned truck where he had been living, Decker is considered “dangerous” and may be armed.
Decker is homeless and had looked up “how to relocate to Canada” days before the girls were discovered dead last Monday, June 2, near the Rock Island Campground in Chelan County. The National Guard has been called into the massive manhunt for Decker.
According to officials, the girls had bags over their heads and their wrists were zip-tied. The Canadian border is only roughly 11 miles away from the campground.
After Decker’s daughters failed to return from a planned visitation with their father on Friday, May 30, the search got underway.
Following their alleged murder, Decker is more of a “broken” man than a heartless killer, according to their distraught mother’s lawyer, who spoke to The Post on Friday.
Arianna Cozart, Whitney Decker’s attorney, stated, “It’s obvious that something broke in him because no one can go out there and be a parent to three beautiful girls for nine years, pretending loving them, if he’s intending to kill them for nine years.”.
“I don’t know how to put it better, but he’s a broken human, like anybody who could commit such a heinous act is,” she said.
According to recent court documents, Decker was “on the brink of something really extreme” in the weeks leading up to his alleged murder of his three young daughters.
Whitney Decker swiftly petitioned for a protection order against the accused killer due to his unpredictable behavior.
“It seemed like things just started happening one after another after he had seemed better,” Whitney Decker wrote in the documents.
