3 missing girls found dead in Washington state, father wanted for murder | LiveNOW from FOX

Three young girls reported missing last week in Washington state were found dead on Monday, June 2, according to the Wenatchee Police Department.

Authorities are now searching for their father, Travis Decker, 32, who is wanted for three counts of first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping.

The Wenatchee Police Department expressed its "sincere and deep heartfelt condolences" to the family, stating they have been in close communication throughout the investigation.

The three girls, ages 9, 8, and 5, were reported missing Friday, May 30, at 9:45 p.m., after their mother told police they had not been returned following a planned visitation with Decker. Decker was believed to be living out of a white 2017 GMC Sierra pickup truck, Washington license D20165C.

Officers immediately began searching for Decker and the children. Checks of local motels yielded no results, and information from the local Flock database indicated the truck had traveled westbound on Highway 2 from Wenatchee on May 30.

The Washington State Patrol was contacted Friday night to request an AMBER Alert, but it did not meet the required criteria. On Saturday, Wenatchee Police detectives provided additional information, and an Endangered Missing Person Alert (EMPA) was issued.

Throughout the weekend, Wenatchee Police detectives worked with local law enforcement partners to check possible locations throughout Chelan County. With assistance from the FBI, detectives narrowed the search area to somewhere between Icicle Road and Chumstick Road near Leavenworth. On June 2, a warrant was obtained for Decker's arrest on three counts of first-degree custodial interference.

On Monday, June 2, resources including Chelan County deputies, detectives, Emergency Management, and a Homeland Security helicopter joined the search. Around 3:45 p.m., a Chelan County deputy located Decker's unoccupied truck near the Rock Island Campground, accessed by Icicle Road.

During an immediate search of the area, the bodies of the three girls were discovered, but Decker was not found.
