Likely cause of death.

This has me shaking. It reads like the truck is part of the crime scene. Premeditated because he had visited the campsite at an earlier time. Pure evil & soulless.May he spend eternity in a bottomless pit along with other demonic creatures like: Israel Keyes as an example.

“They say they found Decker’s truck near the Rock Island Campground, but no one was inside.

According to the court documents, officers and deputies found zip ties and plastic bags tossed throughout the area.

The documents also state that the truck had what appeared to be two bloody handprints.

While searching the area, law enforcement found the bodies of the three young girls.

The court documents also state that the murders may have been premeditated.

According to cellphone records acquired Saturday show that Decker likely visited the area on Thursday prior to picking up the girls for his scheduled visit.

I don't. I always hope that people like this are taken alive, so they can at least tell us why.

They won't. After all, Chad Daybell never has said a word. Or Lori Daybell.

This article details the divorce and what is known at present: ‘He keeps getting more unstable’: Wenatchee mother raised alarms before daughters found dead

@sunflowermomma : Thanks for the link !
I don't know how much more the mother could've done.
She was not actively keeping him from the girls.

Despite the fact that he'd been demonstrating worsening behavior.
Imo.

 

[Spyralflare]

This is just sickening.
I hope their mother has a strong support system around her.
I can’t even imagine how a mom deals with this.

How awful, before I even read the article, as soon as I saw zip ties and plastic bags I knew. I can not imagine how disturbed someone must be to do something like that.

This is awful and horrible. RIP girls.

I do have to say, being unhoused or homeless, especially after a divorce and the pandemic does not make someone categorically unfit to be a parent. Having PTSD, anxiety, depression and other treatable mental health conditions also does not categorically exclude someone from having parental rights. This mother really did work within parameters of the legal system to maintain parental contact, dignity, and also protect her children. The court systems did exactly what they are designed to do.

We must remember that not too many decades ago, women with postpartum depression or men with men with PTSD literally were instuitionalized losing all rights. There are laws in place to protect people now. In hindsight we can be like OMG how could a homeless guy with PTSD have visitation, and broadly label millions and millions of people who are stable, who are down on their luck, who fit under that umbrella. But the reality is, losing housing or having a mental health diagnosis does not mean you will kill or harm your children. These generalizations are harmful to society.

In this situation, even an Amber Alert was not issued because based on factual history, there was nothing that could could predict this outcome. There was no history of violence or harm. Sure there was a down-hill trajectory, but predicting such a massive change to be violent is literally guessing. And we can't use guessing to take away peoples rights these days.

Again, horrible outcome. This is terrible. I am so sad for them all. Horrible. Also, I am not supporting the perp at all...This is unfathomable.

Thank you for saying this. I fully agree with you. (And I'm a parent who went through a divorce with a mentally ill spouse. I know the struggle with the legal system, parenting plans, and how hard it all is. My spouse went downhill over a few years, became homeless, and died.)

I just caught up on some MSM from above. My heart breaks for this mom. I can't imagine. She seemed to handle all of the court procedures that she had to go through with class, honesty and trying to do right by her children and also include their father in their life. My prayers are with her and their family/friends including his family. This is such a sad illness. IMO
I edit to say not sick but sad illness.

 

[sunflowermomma]

Well said, @LucyOso.

 

[NuttMegg]

They won't. After all, Chad Daybell never has said a word. Or Lori Daybell.

And Ted Bundy never divulged it all, at the last moments trying to bargain knowledge of more dead girls' remains for extra time on earth for himself.

 

[Marie A]

All IMHO
This makes me really sad.
I’m also angry with the system.
Whoever signed off on this parenting plan should have seen the serious red flags with mental illness and homelessness for Travis.
I just think he snapped but there is NO WAY he should have been left for unsupervised visits with these children.

If you aren’t familiar with the Liberty and Faith Battaglia case- that is the case of a demonic father seeking revenge on his ex wife. Horrific.
I don’t look at dad Travis as being in this same category at all.
John Battaglia was a sociopath/ psychopath.
I venture to guess that dad Travis has a very different type of mental illness.

I think Travis spiraled lower and lower. He could have stopped taking his antipsychotic meds or he may have never been formally or properly diagnosed and medicated.

I tend to think this was more a case along the lines of the Lindsay Clancy case.
Those around her who loved her didn’t know the depth and extent of her illness or what she was capable of.
She should NEVER have been left alone with her children.

I think that similar to Lindsay Clancy, Travis must have had a psychotic break and nobody could have foreseen him harming his children. I realize Lindsay had severe postpartum depression. She did have a sporadic psychotic break - with non-existent voices telling her to harm the kids.

I still think that Travis (if found alive which I find doubtful) should be given the same grace that Lindsay was given. She will never see a jail cell and rightfully so.

There is definitely a double standard though.
Andrea Yates and Lindsay Clancy will likely both be found not guilty by reason of insanity (though Lindsay’s trial hasn’t taken place yet)
We seldom offer the same grace to mentally ill dads that we afford to moms.
My feeling is that if Travis is still alive he will be taken down by the police.
That’s a horrible thing to think but I don’t think we as a society are educated properly on mental illness.

The whole situation is just beyond tragic.

Don't thing there will be a trial. Just a guess when he's found.

 

[Trino]

What I don't understand is his extensive military record. Shouldn't such persons be required to undergo a mental evaluation before being awarded these positions. But, things change. He's out of the military. No idea what happened to him.

I agree, I wouldnt want to get better and realize/ live with the enormity of what I have done.

Every single person alive has the potential to have some form of anxiety, depression, mental health issues. Sometimes it is extremely obvious very early on due to body/chemical issues. Sometimes the potential is there, then a series of events, like war, rape, victimization by systems, create major issues. Most can be treated with therapy and meds over time. Many people get mental health issues from the military. Often, what holds people "together" is the structure, lack of choices, and fear of stigma while serving. When people separate, they feel lost and adrift, no longer have that prescriptive lifestyle, and slowly become more and more decompensated. The fact that he was in the National Guard until recently, demonstrates he was able to kind of hold it together enough to stay off the radar. The sheer stress of homelessness, custody, divorce, etc can be grueling and tips that scale...though most people get help and help was certainly available to this guy through the military.

Is it too late to try using sar dogs ?
Even if he got a ride, maybe the general-ish direction ?

I keep tearing up today.... every time I read that the girls were found dead.
This is a heart-wrenching case.
Just keep seeing those bright and bubbly smiles.
They looked happy and well cared for in their photos.
So unfair and despicable of him to rob them of their futures... and their mother of her babies.

My guess is he's alive and hunkered down somewhere, possibly preplanned ?
B/c I feel this was a premeditated act and not a sudden snap.
Please let LE be safe and find him soon !

Imo, he's not a 'daddy' anymore (doesn't deserve that title), nor a husband/ex-husband, brother, son, etc.
He is a murderer and nothing else.
Omo.

@Chimera , I agree with all these thoughts.

What a heartbreaking case. My heart is with this mama.. I cannot fathom her pain.

I remember the Battaglia case, and recently saw a program about it on IIRC the Discover-ID Channel. This man had married TWO highly intelligent, successful women, which is not the norm for men like this. I know, abuse cuts across all socioeconomic groups, but at least from my vantage point, women who have occupations like college professor (Liberty and Faith's mother; the other ex-wife was comparably well educated) aren't going to even be pursued by someone like that because he knows they probably won't be interested. I don't remember what the second wife said he told her about the first one, or even if he did! This was before background checks were as easy to do as they are now.

He was sentenced to death, and actually executed!

 

[airportwoman]

I just looked up the court cases (AGAIN) and this time, I was "timed out due to high traffic."
