Three sisters are found dead after visiting their father, details of the case are exposed

A devastating crime shook the city of Washington, in the United States, with the tragic death of sisters Paityn, Evelyn and Olivia Decker, aged 9, 8 and 5, respectively.

The girls were found dead last Monday (2), after a visit to their father, Travis Decker, 32, a former soldier who lived on the streets.

The episode caused national commotion and is being treated as a brutal case of triple homicide, with strong repercussions in discussions about child safety and the limits of shared custody.

According to official information, the girls were left in the care of their father for a visit previously agreed upon by the court with their mother, Whitney Decker, from whom Travis had been divorced since 2022.

The former soldier lived in a pickup truck parked in a makeshift camp about two hours from Seattle. The children disappeared after being searched by Travis on Friday (30).

Travis Decker, 32, served in the military and is well-versed in dealing with extreme conditions.

When they were not returned on Saturday, as agreed, the mother tried to contact her ex-husband, but without success. The calls went straight to voicemail, which increased her concern.

In the absence of answers, the police were called and, on Sunday (1), an arrest warrant was issued for interference with custody. Hours later, the bodies of the three girls were found near Travis’ truck, abandoned near the camp.

The children had their wrists tied and plastic bags over their heads. An autopsy confirmed the cause of death as asphyxiation. Travis fled the scene after the crime, and state and federal police are mobilizing to capture him. The charges against him have been upgraded to murder and kidnapping.

The case raises urgent questions about the psychological support of ex-combatants, the mechanisms of supervision in custody arrangements and the failures of protection that can allow apparently controlled situations to end in tragedy.

American society, still in shock, cries out for justice and answers in the face of violence that prematurely took three innocent lives. There is no information about the girls’ wake and burial.

We left our disabled son with the Doberman, and half an hour later, we heard the terrifying bark of the dog

20 September 2025 love home so much 0

At first, our child and the dog played happily together, but after a few minutes, we heard loud, terrifying barking. My husband and I rushed outside in a panic, thinking the worst, fearing Tara had hurt our son, but what we saw shocked us to the core… Our son was born with a severe diagnosis – a disability related to the musculoskeletal system. Until he was three years old, he couldn’t walk. Doctors said there was a minimal chance that he would ever get up, but we held on to that hope with all our strength. Every day we prayed, watching him crawl around the house, seeing him longingly watch other children outside. He had no one to play with – his peers didn’t understand his condition, and we, the adults, couldn’t replace a real friend. That’s when we decided to get a dog. We wanted him to have at least one real friend. We chose a Doberman from the shelter. We named her Tara. At first, Tara kept her distance. She avoided us and especially stayed away from our son. We thought we had made a mistake. But then everything changed. Tara began to approach the boy, lie next to him, let him touch her face, and bring him toys. They became friends. They were inseparable. We, the parents, sighed in relief for the first time in a long while. The boy smiled, laughed – and all thanks to this dog. We trusted Tara so much that we would leave them alone in the yard while we took care of household chores. And then one day… A piercing, heart-wrenching bark shook the house. It was so loud that we thought our hearts stopped. We rushed outside in a panic, thinking the worst. We were afraid Tara had hurt our son. But what we saw stunned us to the core. Our four-year-old son was standing. HE WAS STANDING, holding onto the stroller. His knees were trembling, his hands tightly gripping the handles, and beside him stood Tara, barking – as if calling us, as if shouting, “Look! Look what he has achieved!” I started crying. We both rushed to our son. He looked at us with fear, but in his eyes, there was something new – confidence, strength. It was a real miracle.
