3 young sisters vanish during a planned visit with their homeless dad in Washington
A frantic search is currently underway in Washington for three young sisters who were last seen with their homeless father during a planned visitation. The missing girls, Paityn Decker (9), Evelyn Decker (8), and Olivia Decker (5), were last seen on Friday around 5:30 p.m. when they went to visit their father, Travis Decker (32), as reported by the Wenatchee Police Department.
Their mother, Whitney Decker, is urging the public to help locate them. She shared on Facebook that Travis was supposed to return the girls to her at 8 p.m. but never showed up. The police have tracked Travis heading north out of Wenatchee at 5:41 p.m. His phone is turned off, and all hotels in the area have been checked.
The visitation between the girls and their father was agreed upon by both parents. However, Travis has since exceeded the agreed parameters, causing concern. He is described as homeless and has been living out of his white 2017 GMC Sierra vehicle or staying in various motels or campgrounds in the area.
The authorities have issued an Endangered Missing Person Alert through the Washington State Patrol for the three missing sisters. While the case does not meet the criteria for an AMBER Alert, the situation is deemed serious. Travis Decker is 5 feet 8 inches tall with black hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing a light shirt and dark shorts. His pickup truck has Washington plates with the number DC0165C.
Paityn Decker was last seen in a blue shirt, purple shorts, and pink Nikes, while Olivia was wearing a coral or pink shirt. Evelyn has blond hair and brown eyes. Anyone who recognizes Travis Decker or his daughters is urged to contact 911 immediately. The search for the missing Decker sisters continues, and any information or sighting could be crucial in reuniting them with their worried family.
