Heartbreaking Tragedy in Washington: Three Young Sisters Found Dead After Visit with Their Father
A devastating tragedy has shaken the city of Washington and captured national attention following the heartbreaking deaths of three young sisters — Paityn (9), Evelyn (8), and Olivia Decker (5).
The girls were found dead last Monday (2), shortly after a court-approved visit with their father, 32-year-old Travis Decker, a former soldier reportedly living in a pickup truck at a remote homeless encampment two hours outside of Seattle.
Authorities are treating the incident as a triple homicide, and the case has sparked intense public outrage and renewed debate over child welfare protections and the risks of shared custody arrangements involving unstable parents.
According to official reports, Travis Decker had legal visitation rights and picked up the girls on Friday (30) under the terms of a court-approved agreement with their mother, Whitney Decker, whom he divorced in 2022. The children were reported missing shortly thereafter — and what followed was a nightmare no family should endure.
As the investigation unfolds, the nation watches in grief and disbelief, demanding answers — and justice — in one of the most disturbing child-related crimes in recent memory.
