Chilling brand-new doorbell camera video shows on-the-run Army veteran Travis Decker in the days before he's implicated of murdering his 3 young daughters and disappearing into the woods.
Decker, 32, was caught on a Ring doorbell approaching a home in a light colored T-shirt and dark shorts in the days leading up to his visitation with his children Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5, in Wenatchee, Washington State.
He could be seen with a goatee and a mustache, with his long hair pulled back.
Authorities shared the images of the wanted suspect last night in a quote to acquaint the public with his look. Decker remains at-large and is considered dangerous, given his substantial basic training and propensity for violence.
'These are the most current photos and videos we have that expose his last recognized look,' Under Sheriff Dan Ozment stated in an authorities news release.
Decker has actually not been seen considering that he picked up his three little girls for a three-hour visit on Friday.
The women' mother later on reported them missing. Their bodies were found at a campground in Leavenworth, 20 miles from their home, on Monday.
Their wrists had actually been bound with zip ties and each of them had actually been suffocated with a plastic bag.
The Chelan County Sheriff's Office launched Ring doorbell video camera video showing Travis Decker, 32, in a light colored T-shirt and dark shorts in the days leading up to his visitation with his 3 young children
Authorities likewise launched pictures of Decker from before he went missing out on, showing him with sunglasses that obscured his eyes and tattoos all down his arm
Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5, were discovered dead on Monday
The sheriff's office is now working with the Wenatchee Police Department, US Border Patrol and Homeland Security investigations to track down Decker, who is charged with 3 counts of first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping.
The US Marshals Service likewise said it would provide a reward of up to $20,000 for any details resulting in Decker's arrest - though cops say the veteran could 'posture a substantial risk if approached' as he has extensive combat training.
He also underwent comprehensive outside survival training, which authorities admitted Wednesday might make the search efforts more difficult, with Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison stating Decker was 'well-versed in outside survival.'
'In talking with his dad, it sounds [like] at times he would head out and live off-grid, in some cases for two months,' the constable informed press reporters.
Decker signed up with the US Army in 2012 and served a trip in Afghanistan two years later.
He likely has advanced fight training as a result, and was an airborne paratrooper who made the elite rank of 'Ranger,' indicating he would have outstanding wilderness and survival abilities.
Decker then transferred to the Washington Army National Guard in 2021, increasing to the rank of sergeant.
But he stopped participating in necessary monthly drills a little over a year earlier, and the Guard remained in the procedure of a disciplinary discharge.
Decker has actually not been seen because he picked up his 3 little ladies for a three-hour visit on Friday
Whitney, his ex-wife, reported her daughters missing out on when he failed to return them Friday night
It now appears that Decker had actually been experiencing psychological health problems.
Court documents specify that when Whitney, his ex-wife, reported her children missing on Friday, she 'revealed concern since Decker apparently has actually never ever done this before and ... is presently experiencing some mental health problems.'
She described to police authorities that Decker was diagnosed with borderline character disorder and thinks he did not take medication for the condition, according to court documents.
She stated the women had a 'good relationship with Decker and enjoy their time with him.'
But she kept in mind that when Decker showed up to select up the ladies on Friday he was 'quieter than typical' which was 'out of character' for him.
Decker does not have irreversible housing and is known to remain at hotels and camping sites, authorities stated.
That appeared to produce its own problems, with Whitney writing in September divorce proceedings that Decker would often have the girls sleep at an armory while he remained in the National Guard - despite her objections.
She went on to state he had been 'struggling to preserve stability' since they separated and it was beginning to impact their children and was vulnerable to 'outbursts,' according to the Seattle Times.
At times, Whitney said her ex would enter into her home shouting for the women - whom he would in some cases fail to select up after promising to do so.

However, Whitney informed cops, whenever Decker would be running late to return the ladies, he would generally call initially.
