FBI Scours Campground Where Father’s Three Young Daughters Were Found Dead

The U.S. Forest Service has confirmed the closure of several roads, campgrounds, and trails in Leavenworth, Washington. This includes the Rock Island Campground, where, according to the police, three young girls were found dead. The closures are in effect to facilitate an ongoing FBI investigation into the alleged perpetrator, Travis Decker, a fugitive father believed to be responsible for the horrific deaths of his daughters.

The closures, which began on Sunday morning, will remain in effect until approximately 6 a.m. on Wednesday. The Forest Service has indicated that several roads and trailheads will also be restricted to the public’s access. Exemptions apply to federal, state, or local officers, members of an organized rescue or firefighting force, and individuals with a Forest Service permit granting access to the restricted areas.

This development follows earlier reports that Decker’s vehicle and the bodies of his daughters, 9-year-old Paityn Decker, 8-year-old Evelyn Decker, and 5-year-old Olivia Decker, were discovered at this very campground. The girls were found on June 2nd, following their departure for a scheduled visit with their father on May 30th.

The Chelan County Sheriff’s Office has shared unsettling new details about the crime scene and the DNA evidence. This evidence suggests that Decker, a 32-year-old Army veteran, is the primary suspect. The U.S. Marshals Service is currently offering a reward of up to $20,000 for any information that directly leads to Decker’s capture.

Officials implore anyone who sees Decker or is aware of his location to call 911 immediately and refrain from making contact or approaching him. Decker is currently wanted on three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of kidnapping. He is considered armed and dangerous.

The situation remains fluid, with many unanswered questions. As always, we remind you of the importance of staying informed and vigilant in the face of such developments.
