A search is underway for three young girls who were last seen leaving home with their father for a planned visitation last week, according to authorities.
On Friday, May 30, at approximately 5 p.m. local time, Paityn Decker, 9, Evelyn Decker, 8, and 5-year-old Olivia Decker headed out with their dad, Travis Decker, the Wenatchee Police Department said in a statement.
They haven’t been seen or heard from since and the girls are “believed to be missing and unable to return home on their own,” authorities said.
“Contact cannot be made with the father,” police added.
Officials said that Travis “is homeless and living in his vehicle or at various hotels/motels or at campgrounds in the area.”
“The visitation was part of a parenting plan, but he has since gone outside the parameters of it which is not normal and cause for the alarm,” police said in their statement.
