A devastating crime shook the city of Washington, in the United States, with the tragic death of sisters Paityn, Evelyn and Olivia Decker, aged 9, 8 and 5, respectively.
The girls were found dead last Monday (2), after a visit to their father, Travis Decker, 32, a former soldier who lived on the streets.
The episode caused national commotion and is being treated as a brutal case of triple homicide, with strong repercussions in discussions about child safety and the limits of shared custody.
According to official information, the girls were left in the care of their father for a visit previously agreed upon by the court with their mother, Whitney Decker, from whom Travis had been divorced since 2022.
The former soldier lived in a pickup truck parked in a makeshift camp about two hours from Seattle. The children disappeared after being searched by Travis on Friday (30).
