The cause behind the tragedy involving three young sisters who vanished during a scheduled visitation with their father has been revealed—and the details paint a devastating picture of betrayal.
A preliminary report filed with the Chelan County Superior Court revealed that 9-year-old Paityn, 8-year-old Evelyn, and 5-year-old Olivia, the Decker sisters, passed away from asphyxiation—presumably at the hands of their own father, 32-year-old Travis Decker.
The girls had been missing since last Friday (May 30), the day they were due to return to their mother following a court-approved visit with Travis.
