Case 044: Travis Decker | Vanishing Into the Wilderness: The Search for a Killer

In one of the most harrowing cases to shake Washington state, former Army soldier Travis Decker is accused of murdering his three young daughters — ages 5, 8, and 9 — during a scheduled visitation. The girls were found near Decker’s abandoned truck, their wrists zip-tied and bags over their heads, with his DNA linking him to the crime. Investigators later uncovered evidence that Decker had researched fleeing to Canada before the killings, prompting a massive manhunt across rugged wilderness areas. While authorities have chased down numerous tips and reported sightings — including one in Idaho that proved false — Decker remains at large. With military survival training and the ability to disappear into remote terrain, he continues to evade capture. A substantial reward is on the table, but the clock is ticking as law enforcement races to bring him in before he vanishes for good.This is Fugitive Files. Let’s get into it.
