Washington state father wanted for murder after 3 daughters found dead

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Recently, authorities have released new images of the Washington state survivalist accused of murdering his daughters, warning he might be attempting to escape to Canada amid an ongoing two-week manhunt.

Travis Decker, 32, remains at large nearly two weeks after his daughters, Paityn, 9; Evelyn, 8; and Olivia, 5, were reported missing, with their bodies found days later.

On June 7, the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office issued an updated wanted poster featuring new images of Decker, focusing on his tattoos, hairstyle, and clothing, as authorities diligently search through vast wilderness areas for him.

The children’s mother told police Decker has mental health issues – including borderline personality disorder – but had never missed a deadline to return their children following a visit. He is homeless and lives in motels and campgrounds, according to the affidavit. 

Local, state and federal officials continue to search for Decker, who is described as standing approximately 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighing about 190 pounds. Authorities are unsure if Decker is armed, but insist he is considered dangerous. 

Decker is charged with three counts each of aggravated first-degree murder and kidnapping. If convicted, he faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.
