Tragic Death of Three Sisters in Washington: Father Sought for Murder

Asphyxiation was the cause of death for three young sisters found near their father’s truck at the Rock Island Campground on Monday (02.06.2025). The girls had gone missing after leaving home for a planned visit to their father, Travis Dekker, and were later found deceased. Authorities in Washington are now searching for Dekker, who is wanted on three counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree kidnapping. ‘It is unknown if Dekker is armed, but he may pose a significant danger,’ authorities noted, highlighting his military experience. According to Fox 13 Seattle, Dekker’s vehicle was found nearby with ‘two smeared handprints.’ Inside, various personal items were discovered, including blankets, food, child car seats, and a wallet on the center console. Nearby, a tent with a cooler was also located. Judicial documents obtained by the same outlet indicate that Dekker’s phone activity shows he ‘drove to and departed from the same campground the day before the abduction.’ The girls were reported missing on May 30 when they failed to return from a ‘scheduled visit’ with their father. Authorities stated Dekker was homeless, living either in his vehicle or various motels/campgrounds in the area. Although the mother had sole custody, a visitation plan for the children with their father had been arranged. Additional details have emerged through reports from People.
