Crime Scene Details Unveiled for Decker Sisters; Father Travis Remains Lone Murder Suspect
Missing Father and Sole Suspect in Tragic Murder Case Remains at Large
Travis Decker, a former Army soldier, is the sole suspect in the horrific murders of his three daughters, aged 5, 8, and 9, whose bodies were discovered near the Rock Island Campground along Icicle Creek on June 2, 2025. Decker is currently charged with three counts of murder, kidnapping, and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
The girls' bodies were found with plastic bags covering their heads and their wrists zip-tied. DNA profiles matching Decker were found on these plastic bags, as well as cable ties collected at the scene. No other DNA profiles, other than that of the girls, were found on any of the evidence.
Authorities believe Decker, who has survival skills and experience living off the grid, may have fled into the wilderness, possibly along the Pacific Crest Trail. Despite extensive searches from the air and on the ground by local and federal law enforcement, Decker's whereabouts remain unknown months after the crime.
The United States Marshals Service is offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to Decker's arrest. Authorities urge anyone who sees Decker to call 911 immediately and not to approach him. Those with information are encouraged to contact the nearest U.S. Marshals office, the U.S. Marshals Service Communications Center at 1-800-336-0102, or submit tips at www.usmarshals.gov/tips.
Court documents reveal Decker searched for information on moving to Canada and jobs in Canada before the crime. As of Aug 18, the Chelan County Sheriff's Office has no evidence to suggest Decker is either alive or dead.
The cause of death for each girl was determined to be suffocation, and the manner of death was ruled a homicide. The tragedy has sparked calls for Amber Alert reform from state lawmakers and advocates.
Decker served in the Army from March 2013 to July 2021 and was deployed to Afghanistan for four months in 2014. The Chelan County Sheriff's Office has reaffirmed Decker as the sole suspect in the crime following DNA testing of evidence.
Investigators initially believed Decker may have fled into the wilderness, possibly along the Pacific Crest Trail. Several sightings have been reported during the search, but all have been dismissed as misidentifications. The search results do not provide information about which organization currently offers the reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to the arrest of Travis Decker.
