Cause of Death Revealed for 3 Sisters Who Vanished During 'Planned Visitation' with their Dad as He Remains Missing: Reports

Paityn Decker, 9, Evelyn Decker, 8, and Olivia Decker, 5, who were last seen on May 30 and found dead on Monday, June 2 after a planned visit to their father

people.com

Fox 13 Seattle reported that Decker's vehicle was found "with two bloody handprints" nearby where the girls' bodies were located. Various personal items were reportedly found inside, including blankets, food, car seats and a wallet "on the center console." A tent and cooler were also located "a short distance away," indicating signs of recent activity in the camp, according to the outlet.

The bodies of the three girls were discovered about 75 to 100 yards from the vehicle, down a small embankment. Authorities said all three had plastic bags over their heads, and their wrists were zip-tied. The likely cause of death, investigators believe, is asphyxiation.

IMO, TD had been at the campground since Thursday and most likely killed the children on Friday soon after collecting them. He had a good head start from the Sheriff and authorities. At the presser last night, the Sheriff said TD's father was arriving from Milwaukee last night to aid in locating him. Personally, I doubt they will find him alive.

The sheriff's office will hold a press conference on the steps of the Chelan County Courthouse Wednesday at 6 p.m. PT to provide updates on the ongoing investigation.

Heartbreaking, just terrible news he killed them like that!! The one thing he may have done to aid in LE's discovery of their bodies sooner rather than later was to leave his truck nearby knowing it and the girls would be found nearby.

I hope he knocked them out first so they were unconcious when he killed them.

Rest in peace, beautiful girls

The Decker sisters were a part of the Short Shakespeare family. Ashley-Jo says she knew the girls for several years and that all of them were truly bright lights that lit up any stage they were on.

“They had life and love and they were so beautiful and so joyous,” Ashley-Jo said.

“The community of Wenatchee is here for you. We love you. We support you. We want the best for you and we are incredibly sorry that this happened,” Maggie said.
‘They were so beautiful and so joyous,’ Wenatchee community remembers Decker sisters

What a tremendous loss, to the present, and the future. Prayers for these sweet girls' mom and hellfire for the monster responsible.

Yeah, I wondered about those bloody prints when we learned suffocation. First thought was defensive wounds as you describe. But for it to be handprints (plural)? I would expect maybe some blood smears if he were scratched up by the girls. That term - bloody handprints. Seems like quite a bit of blood would be needed to result in hand prints JMO

Did he kill his dog? Perhaps it was transfer from that?

 

[NoeticSoul]

On the Friday when he picked up the girls he was quieter than usual. The mom reported due to financial pressures, he talked about getting rid of his dog, he also stated, back payments for child support were coming off his pay cheque. He talked about getting rid of truck due to financial pressures as well.

Thank you kindly, @Snoop Sister ~ I had missed that bit.

 

[libraryg]

Rehome the dog for 'financial concerns'.. hmmm, probably murdered those innocent babies for the same then, he must have been in arrears with child support no doubt and overwhelmed with everything.. being homeless and I'm guessing no job. jmo (punishing the mother for his 'plight')

Wage garnishment was mentioned upthread. Vile, evil .

 

[airportwoman]

Exactly. Completely fits with the description of him in the court paperwork: "Travis also has some emotional/mental health issues that were the primary catalyst to the end of our marriage. His borderline personality disorder and narcissism became rampant.”"

New details in case of 3 Wenatchee sisters found dead

That this guy was in the military is REALLY scary.

 

[waitin'4thewrld2chg]

I am a local in Wenatchee. It was hard to see children at the vigil last night with eyes red from crying. I wish none of this were real and that the grieving children didn't have to know that in this case the boogie man was a daddy.

 

[airportwoman]

It pains me so much to see this happen in the news. Seems like it's becoming more common. I wish people would stop harming the children because of domestic, narcissism, anger at court decisions and or child support disputes. what ever the reason, they are innocents and not part of adult problems which are occurring around them. They deserve a chance for a life too.

I don't think it's happening more. We have the Internet nowadays to tell us about things that aren't happening in our backyards.
