New court audio has seriously harmed Travis Decker, who is charged with murder and kidnapping in connection with the deaths of his daughters Paityn Decker (9), Evelyn Decker (8), and Olivia Decker (5). The girls were found dead in Decker's abandoned pickup truck on June 2 near a remote campsite in Chelan County, Washington.

In this newly released audio, Travis has stated that he has never been the subject of a manhunt, that he fights to be with his three daughters by making overnight visits, and that he has never done anything to put them at risk.

Decker claims custody loss was due to "Dangerous" camps

In another audio recording dated September 27, 2024, he mentions that Decker lost custody of his three daughters because of the "dangerous" camps he allegedly took them to, and that he couldn't find the exact reason why they were in danger. "We've never done anything unsafe or anything I wouldn't want to be involved in," the fugitive commented in the audio.

Decker also added the following: "I understand that my current situation when I'm alone isn't ideal, but my daughters aren't part of it. I only get to see them on weekends, and camping is something the four of us have done since they were all in diapers," the suspect emphasized.

Decker goes missing after Court visit; search continues

Decker was last seen on May 30, when he picked up his daughters for a court visit and never returned. His ex-wife, Whitney Decker, reported him missing, stating that despite Travis's mental health issues, he never stopped bringing the girls back or answering his phone.

In her lawsuit, Whitney requested that Travis undergo anger management, domestic violence, and psychiatric evaluations. Furthermore, if he failed to comply with these requirements, she could limit his visits. The search for Decker is ongoing, and on June 10, authorities tracked a suspect who may be him in the Blewett Pass area of Washington.
