3 young girls missing from Washington found dead: Father wanted for murder

Описание: Three young girls who were reported missing out of Wenatchee have been found dead, and their father is wanted in connection to their killings, according to the Wenatchee Police Department.

Paityn, Evelyn and Olivia Decker, 9, 8 and 5 years old, were reported missing last weekend after their father, Travis Decker, failed to return with them from a scheduled visitation.

On Tuesday evening, law enforcement officials said Decker is still at large.

“We will not rest until Travis is located,” said Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison at a press conference.

On June 2, Chelan County deputies found Travis Decker's 2017 white GMC truck unoccupied near the Rock Island campground near Leavenworth. A more extensive search of the area led investigators to discover the bodies of the missing girls.

Their bodies were found about 100 yards away from the truck and all three died by asphyxiation, according to updated probable cause documents.

Responding deputies found zip ties and plastic bags spread across the area and the tailgate of the truck appeared to have two bloody handprints on it.
