The three Wenatchee girls, who were the subject of a missing persons alert, have been found deceased. The sisters had been in the company of their father, Travis Decker, 32, during a visitation last weekend.

A truck belonging to their father was located near the Rock Island Campground. The girls bodies were found nearby. Decker has not been located.

Wenatchee Policer Capt. Brian Chance shared the vehicle information was entered into the local Flock, licensed plate reader camera database, which indicated the vehicle had traveled westbound on Highway 2 from

Wenatchee on May 30, the day that their mother reported the girls overdue from a visitation with their father.

"On Monday, June 2, the search area was narrowed to somewhere between Icicle Road and Chumstick Road near Leavenworth, and a warrant for Decker’s arrest was obtained by Wenatchee Police detectives for three counts of Custodial Interference 1st degree," said Capt. Chance. "At approximately 3:45 p.m., a

Chelan County deputy located Decker’s vehicle near the Rock Island Campground accessed by Icicle Road. The vehicle was unoccupied. Additional law enforcement officers responded and searched the immediate area. During the search, the bodies of the three missing girls were discovered. Decker was not located."

"Shortly after this discovery, the East Cascade SWAT Team (ECST) was activated and responded to the area and began searching for Decker," Chance added. "Around the same time, WSP Crime Scene Response Team (CSRT) was requested to handle processing of the crime scene including a search of Decker’s vehicle. At this time, the search for Decker continues."

Decker is currently wanted for three counts of Murder 1st degree and Kidnapping 1st degree. Investigators said it's unknown whether Decker is currently armed, but he may pose a significant risk, if approached. Any member of the public who believes they may have seen Decker since Friday, May 30, and know his current whereabouts are asked to call 911.

Due to safety concerns do not attempt to contact or approach Decker.
