Washington Father Sought in Tragic Slaying of Three Daughters
Here’s the lowdown from the newsroom: a manhunt has ignited in western Washington after three young sisters were found dead inside their family home. State and local law enforcement allege that 34-year-old Travis Decker is the prime suspect in the killings, prompting a “be on the lookout” alert across multiple counties.
According to a King County Sheriff’s Office press release and corroborated by TMZ’s exclusive reporting, deputies responded to a 911 call on June 4, 2025, in Arlington at approximately 6:30 a.m. PST. Inside the Evergreen Street residence, officers discovered the bodies of three girls believed to be Decker’s daughters, ages four, six and eight. No children have survived to provide statements, and investigators say the girls showed no visible signs of forced entry, pointing to a possible prior relationship within the household.
Within hours, authorities obtained a felony warrant charging Decker with first-degree murder, citing probable cause that he deliberately harmed his children. The Seattle Times confirmed that surveillance footage from a nearby convenience store captured Decker loading a large duffel bag into his black Ford F-150 around dawn, fueling fears he may be fleeing the region. Washington State Patrol has joined the search, setting up highway checkpoints and distributing Decker’s photo and license-plate number through AMBER Alert channels.
Law enforcement sources warn Decker could be armed and dangerous. The FBI’s Seattle field office has deployed a crisis response team to assist King County detectives, while Arlington Police urged anyone with sightings or tips to contact 911 immediately. Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound has offered a reward for information leading to his arrest.
Neighbors describe a quiet family until late May, with no previous reports of disturbances besides a minor domestic call in 2023. Decker, a construction manager by trade, holds no prior criminal convictions, according to public records obtained by People Magazine. Still, investigators are probing phone records and digital footprints that may reveal a motive or planned escape route.
Community leaders have organized a vigil at Arlington City Park this Friday evening to honor the slain girls, calling for unity and vigilance. Meanwhile, prosecutors in King County are preparing to file charges as soon as Decker is apprehended. Until then, the search remains active across Snohomish, King and neighboring counties, with roadblocks and airborne patrols intensifying as daylight breaks.
Stay tuned: if Travis Decker’s trail unravels new leads, we’ll be on it. And that’s the situation—make of that what you will.
