Travis Decker seen on police dashcam footage from car accident 3 days before allegedly killing daughters: report
Fugitive dad Travis Decker was filmed on a police dashboard camera just three days before he allegedly killed his three young daughters, according to a report. Decker, 32, slammed into a car at a red light in Wenatchee, Washington, on May 27, and begged the motorist he crashed into 'not to call the police,' local King 5 reported. The nearly 20-minute dash cam video showed Decker leaning up against his pick-up truck and staring at the responding officer as he completed the police report. Advertisement 4 Police dash cam footage from the May 27 crash showed showed Travis Decker (center) acting strangely after a car accident. king5 The unidentified motorist told the outlet that Decker, a homeless Army veteran, 'looked almost intimidating to me' when he told the soon-to-be fugitive that he had called police. 'I could tell he was not in his full senses,' the driver added, noting Decker asked odd questions during the accident report. Advertisement Police said Decker was also in a traffic accident on May 4, in which the accused killer rear-ended a Honda CRV and sped away. The driver of the Honda tailed Decker's truck and provided his license plate number to police, according to the report. The May 27 encounter with Decker ended with a visibly uncomfortable nine-second long handshake during which the motorist attempted to wrestle his hand away from the fugitive dad. Decker reportedly repeatedly asked the man if he was 'going to be OK' during that awkward exchange, the report stated. Advertisement The other driver was shocked when he recognized Decker's face three days later, plastered across the news. 4 The unidentified motorist said Decker begged him not to call police after the car accident. king5 'I had to stop what I was doing and sit down,' he told King 5. On May 30, Decker allegedly zip-tied plastic bags over the heads of daughters Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia 5, suffocating them to death just hours after picking them up for planned visitation, according to authorities. Advertisement The girls' bodies were found on June 2 — bound at the wrists and necks with zip ties near Rock Island Campground not far from Decker's abandoned truck. 'I truly hope that the legacy of the girls' lives lives on in everyone's heart forever,' grieving mom Whitney Decker said at an event held on their behalf last month. 4 Paityn, Evelyn and Olivia Decker were found zip-tied with bags over their head on June 2, not far from their father's abandoned truck. Facebook/Katie Vogel 'They were incredible,' she added through tears. Authorities are still searching for Decker — and are not certain that the accused fiend is still breathing. 'At this time, there is no certain evidence that Decker remains alive or in this area,' the Kittitas County Sheriff's Office said in a statement last month. 'Seemingly strong early leads gave way to less convincing proofs over the last two weeks of searching. Still, we can't and won't quit this search; Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia Decker deserve justice. And Decker remains a danger to the public as long as he's at large,' the statement said. Advertisement 4 Travis Decker, 32, a homeless Army veteran, is still at large and is considered a dangerous to the public. Wenatchee Police Department via AP US Marshals called off the hunt in Idaho after a false-alarm sighting in Sawtooth National Forest — where a man who looked like Decker was reportedly 'exhibiting odd behavior' on an ATV trail on Fourth of July weekend.

New Yorkers unfazed as thieves swipe all 4 tires from cars near Gracie Mansion: ‘Typical day around here'
There goes the neighborhood. Upper East Side residents were mostly unfazed as a car left stripped of all four tires was left balancing on milk crates in the usually lowkey neighborhood near Gracie Mansion. A white Honda CRV had its tires — and wheel locks — swiped overnight into Tuesday on East 86th Street near York Avenue in front of a doorman building and just a couple of blocks from the mayor's residence. 'It's a typical day around here,' elevator mechanic Kim Harris, 44, told The Post. 'They pull up right next to your car… it's like an express tire shop that you didn't ask for.' 4 Ephraim Hirshberg, the boyfriend of the victimized car owner, stands in front of the battered SUV. Gregory P. Mango The CRV owner's boyfriend, Ephraim Heirschberg, called the pre-dawn raid stunning. 'I'm here 40 years in this building, and I've never seen anything like this before,' he said of the crime that had echoes of the city's grittier 'bad old days.' 'I think we live in a very safe area over here, the mayor's here, the police department is here … this is the first time I've encountered anything like this in this neighborhood.' The victim, who asked to be identified a Anna K., had a blunt reply when asked if she still felt safe in her neighborhood. 'No! I don't feel safe anymore,' she said with a laugh as her car was being towed. It's unclear when the robbery took place, but building staff on the block said workers might've been too busy handling rain in their basements following Monday's flash flood downpour. 4 The car needed a tow. Gregory P. Mango Anna wasn't the only motorist having a lousy day in the luxe Manhattan neighborhood. Another vehicle was also de-wheeled overnight Tuesday, according to photos provided to The Post. Numerous residents who live or work in the area said two other cars were also robbed of their tires recently. 'It's a thing now, I guess, they're targeting this area,' said Teresa A, who lives in the area. 'And it usually never happens in this area.' She added she's seen a few posts on NextDoor and an Upper East Side Facebook page about other tire thefts. 4 Multiple cars were left with milk crates holding the frame up. Ephraim Hirshberg A roadside assistance technician from MacArthur Towing, Jason Rivera, who was on hand to haul the white SUV away, said the thefts can be a quick pit stop. 'In and out, these guys that do this, give them 10 minutes and they're out of there,' the 31-year-old said. While robbery and burglary have dropped 11% and 13% in 2025 compared to the same time span last year, grand larceny and grand theft auto have increased modestly by 3.2% and 4.6%, respectively, according to NYPD data. Petit larceny has jumped 6.8% compared to the same time span last year. 4 The raid happened overnight into Tuesday. Gregory P. Mango Jason K., who works in a nearby building, said he's never seen a brazen theft like this in the neighborhood. 'I've only ever seen this in the Bronx,' he said. 'They were taking catalytic converters last year,' Kathleen O., 71, added. 'They wouldn't do it for fun, there's profit to be made.' Additional reporting by Amanda Woods
