Mother of three slain sisters says authorities made one mistake

A heartbreaking tragedy in Washington State has left a mother, Whitney Decker, demanding justice after her three young daughters—Paityn (9), Evelyn (8), and Olivia (5)—were found murdered near their father’s abandoned truck in a remote campground. The girls had plastic bags over their heads and their wrists bound with zip ties. Their father, 32-year-old Travis Decker, a former Army Ranger, is charged with three counts of murder and kidnapping but remains at large, possibly hiding in the wilderness using survivalist skills.

Whitney had warned authorities about Travis’s declining mental health and erratic behavior, but no AMBER Alert was issued—only a less visible Endangered Missing Person Alert. State officials claimed the case didn’t meet the full federal criteria for an AMBER Alert.

Whitney and her attorney argue this failure, along with inadequate veteran mental health support, contributed to the preventable deaths.

The case has sparked a nationwide manhunt and public outcry, raising concerns about flaws in the AMBER Alert system, child custody protocols, and the lack of post-service care for veterans. Whitney is now pushing for reforms to prevent similar tragedies.
