National Guard Joins Search For A Dad Accused Of Killing Three Daughters At Campsite

[Conservative Angle]

​

A tragic story has developed in Washington State.

Three little girls were found dead at a campsite in Chelan County, Washington.

The suspected killer of the girls is their father, Travis Decker.

Authorities have not found Decker for over a week, leading the Governor of Washington to deploy the National Guard to find him.

KOMO had these key details to report:

Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson activated the Washington National Guard Friday evening to aid law enforcement in the search for a man wanted in the killing of his three daughters.

Tonight, I am tapping emergency funds and ordering Washington National Guard resources to support the search for Travis Decker, who is suspected of killing his three daughters,” Ferguson said. “At the request of the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office, we will be providing helicopter transportation for law enforcement as they search in remote areas.

Local and federal law enforcement have been searching for the 32-year-old father from the air and on the ground after the bodies of his daughters, 5-year-old Olivia Decker, 8-year-old Evelyn Decker, and 9-year-old Paityn Decker, were discovered Monday. The bodies of all three girls were found about 75 to 100 yards away down an embankment, and investigators noted zip ties and plastic bags were scattered throughout the area.

The girls were first reported missing on May 29 after Decker failed to return them to their mother as part of their court-ordered visitation plan.

“As a parent, my heart goes out to Paityn, Evelyn and Olivia’s mom, Whitney, and all those who love them,” wrote Ferguson on X. “The brutal murder of these young children has shocked our state. I’m committed to supporting law enforcement as they seek justice for Paityn, Evelyn and Olivia.”

Yahoo News gave background information on Decker:

Decker is a military veteran who earned badges in the army for expertise in infantry and had experience in parachuting. Social media posts from members of the armed forces, which were reviewed by Fox 13, also appear to show that he earned his “Ranger” tab, which means he had advanced wilderness survival skills — something authorities believe will make him more elusive.

Fox 13 Seattle confirmed with a spokesperson from the Washington National Guard that Decker was a member of the organization, and that he had been awaiting disciplinary discharge due to failure to attend his required monthly drills.

Per Fox 13, the girls’ mother told investigators that Decker’s mental health had appeared to worsen in the time leading up to their daughters’ deaths, and that he had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder but did not take medication to manage the condition.

Decker, who had been divorced from his ex-wife for several years, was living in temporary housing like motels and campgrounds after becoming unhoused, according to multiple news reports. He was reportedly only allowed to have day visit access to his children via a court-approved visitation schedule, explaining why his ex-wife was concerned when he failed to return the children home.
