A horrific crime in Washington shocked the nation after three young sisters — Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia Decker, 5 — were found dead following a court-approved visit with their father, Travis Decker, 32, a homeless former soldier. The girls were reported missing after Travis failed to return them to their mother, Whitney Decker, on Saturday. When she couldn’t reach him, police were contacted.
By Sunday, an arrest warrant was issued, and on Monday, the girls’ bodies were found near Travis’s truck at a remote camp. Their wrists were bound, and plastic bags had been placed over their heads. Autopsies confirmed they died from asphyxiation.
