New photos have been released of Travis Decker as the huge manhunt continues for the Army veteran wanted for allegedly murdering his three young daughters.
A new wanted poster for Decker shows the accused triple murderer’s distinctive tattoos and his hair pulled back in a ponytail, while in the clothes he was last seen wearing before running off with his daughters.
Decker is deemed “dangerous” — and possibly armed — as he remains on the run a week after the bodies of his daughters Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5, were found bound and with plastic bags over their heads near an abandoned truck he’d been living out of.
The National Guard has been deployed in the extensive manhunt for Decker — who is homeless and had searched “how to relocate to Canada” days before the girls were found dead near the Rock Island Campground in Chelan County last Monday, June 2.
The girls’ wrists were zip tied and bags had been placed over their heads, officials said. The campsite is only about 11 miles from the Canadian border.
The search began on Friday, May 30, when Decker’s daughters didn’t return from a scheduled visitation with their dad.
Their heartbroken mother’s attorney told The Post on Friday that Decker is more a “broken’’ man than a cold-blooded killer after he allegedly murdered them.
“It’s clear that something broke in him because no person can go out there and be a parent to three beautiful girls for nine years, pretend like he loves them, if he’s intending to kill them for nine years,” Whitney Decker’s lawyer, Arianna Cozart, said.
“He’s a broken human, like anybody who could commit such a heinous act is, you know, I don’t know the better way to put it,” she said.
Decker was on “the brink of something really extreme” in the weeks before he allegedly killed his three little girls, new court documents show.
His erratic behavior prompted Whitney Decker to quickly file a protection order petition against the accused killer.
“He had seemed better, then it seemed like things just started happening one after another,” Whitney Decker wrote in the documents.
