Triple murder suspect dad seen in police footage days before daughters found dead
Share this @internewscast.com

Recently released dashcam video from the police depicts a father from Washington, trained in the military, who is accused of killing his three daughters just a few days before their bodies were found.

Travis Decker is being sought for his suspected role in the horrific murder of his daughters – Olivia, 5, Paityn, 9, and Evelyn, 8 – before vanishing into a nearby forest, leading to an extensive manhunt that is still underway as authorities continue their search for him.

According to footage acquired by Fox 13, Decker appears in a blue shirt and shorts, speaking calmly with police officers after being issued a citation due to a minor traffic mishap.

Authorities from local, state and federal agencies – including the U.S. Marshals Service – subsequently launched an extensive manhunt for Decker, who authorities have described as a military-trained survivalist. 

On July 5, authorities received a tip from a family reporting seeing a man fitting the description of Decker in the Bear Creek area of Idaho’s Sawtooth National Forest. However, the lead proved to be false after police announced they located the man believed to be Decker and confirmed the father was not spotted in the wilderness.

Officials warn Decker should be considered armed and dangerous, but insist there is no reason to believe he poses a threat to the public. He is charged with three counts of aggravated first-degree murder and kidnapping. 

The U.S. Marshals Service is offering a $20,000 reward for any information leading to Decker’s arrest.
