Chilling new doorbell video camera video shows on-the-run Army veteran Travis Decker in the days before he's implicated of murdering his 3 young children and vanishing 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 desired suspect last night in a bid to acquaint the public with his appearance. Decker stays at-large and is considered hazardous, given his substantial military training and propensity for violence.

'These are the most current photos and videos we have that expose his last known look,' Under Sheriff Dan Ozment stated in a cops press release.

Decker has actually not been seen considering that he got his three little ladies for a three-hour visit on Friday.

The girls' mother later on reported them missing out on. Their bodies were found at a camping area in Leavenworth, 20 miles from their home, on Monday.

Their wrists had been bound with zip ties and each of them had been suffocated with a plastic bag.

The constable's office is now dealing with the Wenatchee Police Department, US Border Patrol and Homeland Security investigations to locate Decker, who is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping.

The US Marshals Service likewise stated it would use a reward of approximately $20,000 for any information resulting in Decker's arrest - though cops state the veteran could 'present a considerable threat if approached' as he has extensive combat training.

He likewise underwent extensive outdoor survival training, which authorities admitted Wednesday might make the search efforts harder, with Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison stating Decker was 'skilled in outside survival.'

'In talking with his dad, it sounds [like] sometimes he would head out and live off-grid, often 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 training as an outcome, and was an airborne paratrooper who earned the elite rank of 'Ranger,' suggesting he would have outstanding wilderness and survival abilities.

Decker then moved to the Washington Army National Guard in 2021, increasing to the rank of sergeant.

But he stopped going to obligatory regular monthly drills a little over a year ago, and the Guard remained in the process of a disciplinary discharge.

Decker has actually not been seen considering that he selected up his three little women for a three-hour go to on Friday

Whitney, his ex-wife, reported her daughters missing when he failed to return them Friday night

It now appears that Decker had been experiencing mental health problems.

Court documents mention that when Whitney, his ex-wife, reported her children missing on Friday, she 'expressed concern since Decker reportedly has actually never ever done this before and ... is presently experiencing some psychological health concerns.'

She explained to police authorities that Decker was diagnosed with borderline personality condition and thinks he did not take medication for the condition, according to court files.

She said the girls had a 'good relationship with Decker and enjoy their time with him.'

But she noted that when Decker arrived to select up the women on Friday he was 'quieter than normal' which was 'out of character' for him.

Decker does not have long-term housing and is understood to remain at hotels and camping sites, police stated.

That appeared to produce its own issues, with Whitney writing in September divorce proceedings that Decker would often have the girls sleep at an armory while he was in the National Guard - in spite of her objections.

She went on to state he had actually been 'struggling to keep stability' considering that they separated and it was beginning to affect their children and was prone to 'outbursts,' according to the Seattle Times.

Sometimes, Whitney stated her ex would enter into her house screaming for the women - whom he would in some cases fail to get after promising to do so.
