Brutal details: Three sisters who vanished while visiting homeless dad were found with bags over their heads, wrists zip-tied
The bodies of three young sisters killed, allegedly by their dad, in Washington state were found with plastic bags over their heads and their wrists zip-tied, investigators said. The gruesome new details were laid bare in court papers as cops continued the manhunt for their homeless father, 32-year-old Travis Decker, on Wednesday, KOMO reported. The bodies of the Decker sisters — Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5 — were discovered in an embankment near the Rock Island Campground in Wenatchee, roughly three hours east of Seattle, on Monday evening. A preliminary report found the girls were likely asphyxiated. In addition to the bags and zip-ties, the girls' bodies were found in the same outfits they were wearing when they vanished Friday. Their bodies were found close to their father's white 2017 GMC Sierra truck, which allegedly had two bloody handprints smeared on the back, the papers state. It comes after the girls' mother, Whitney Decker, had issued a heartbreaking appeal for their safe return Monday, hours before the bodies were found. 'I just want the girls back home safe and sound — that is the most important thing to me,' she said in the emailed statement sent to NCWLIFE. 'I am concerned about the safety and wellbeing of my girls and their dad. This is an unimaginable situation.' I am pleading for everyone to look out for them,' she said in the emailed statement sent to NCWLIFE.'

7 shot at park in Washington state, police say
This image made from a video provided by KOMO shows police working at the scene of a shooting at Harry Todd Park in Lakewood, Wash., Wednesday, May 28, 2025. ( via AP) Seven people were shot and wounded, three of them critically, at a park in a suburb of Tacoma, Washington, on Wednesday evening, police said. Officers found a 'very hectic scene' when they responded to calls reporting shots fired at Harry Todd Park in Lakewood just before 8 p.m., Lakewood Police Sgt. Charles Porche told KOMO-TV. He said medics transported five people to hospitals and two others got to hospitals on their own. The Seattle Times reported that Porche said three people were in critical condition. Investigators don't know how many shooters were involved or whether the victims were targeted, he said. No arrests had been made as of Wednesday. More than 100 people were at the park next to American Lake when shots were fired, Porche said. 'We've had these couple days here where the sun finally came out and it's been a gorgeous time for people to get out and enjoy the park, the lake and then you have something like this that happens,' he said. 'It is one of the great tragedies, right? You don't want anybody to get shot and then you end up with seven different victims that happen out of this act of violence that, so far, we don't know why.' The shooting comes days after a Memorial Day shooting at a Philadelphia park that killed two people and injured nine. © For copyright information, check with the distributor of this item, KOMO-TV.
