Authorities release new doorbell camera video of suspect who allegedly kidnapped, murdered three daughters

Chelan County Sheriff’s Office deputies released doorbell camera footage and photos of Travis Decker, 32, who is wanted on three counts of murder 1st degree and kidnapping 1st degree.

They say the videos and photos are from the days leading up to his visitation with his three daughters. The footage also shows what police believe is his last known appearance.

Police say newly obtained information revealed Decker is "well versed in wilderness survival and capable of spending days or even weeks in the wilderness on his own and with very little equipment."

Investigators are currently working with authorities across the county and state to locate known associates and potential next moves for Decker.

"As we take an ‘all hands’ approach to investigating the murder of three young girls, the team morale remains elevated as we work toward locating Travis Decker," authorities stated. "Additionally, more teams are being deployed to different sites Mr. Decker was known to frequent in the area."

Police say, although it is a challenge searching for Decker, their personnel assured the public that they are well-prepared to apprehend him.

The Chelan County Sheriff's Office said "The U.S. Marshals Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force is working closely with the Chelan County Sheriff's Office to locate and apprehend this fugitive" and a reward of up to $20,000 is available for information leading directly to Decker's arrest. 

"The suspect is not known to be armed at this time, but should be considered dangerous," it added.

The three girls, aged five, eight and nine, went to see their dad on Friday, May 30, for a planned visitation and their bodies were later found near Decker's abandoned pickup truck Monday afternoon.

Authorities were alerted to the girl's disappearance by the mother, who told police that Decker picked the girls up around 5 p.m. on Friday but did not return them by 8 p.m. and his phone went straight to voicemail, court documents said.

A detective said she "expressed concern because Decker reportedly has never done this before and … is currently experiencing some mental health issues."

"What prompted her to call us was that ... he was late returning the girls and had not communicated to her that he was going to be late, which was his typical fashion and so this was out of the ordinary," Capt. Brian Chance said.

Illegal immigrant convicted in 100 mph DUI crash that killed Washington state trooper

Jurors in Washington state delivered a guilty verdict against an illegal immigrant accused of killing a state trooper last year. 

Raul Benitez-Santana, 33, was found guilty of vehicular assault and vehicular homicide in connection with the death of Washington State Patrol Trooper Christopher Gadd.

Gadd, 27, was killed when his cruiser was hit by a speeding car in March 2024 at more than 100 mph.

Benitez-Santana was under the influence at the time of the crash, and admitted to drinking and smoking marijuana before driving, Fox Seattle reported. 

He was swerving across the road before slamming into the rear end of Gadd's vehicle, which was parked on the shoulder. Gadd was watching for speeding and DUI drivers, when he was struck and killed in a three-vehicle crash on Interstate 5.

After his arrest, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a detainer request with Snohomish County Jail for Benitez-Santana, a Mexican citizen.

He was first encountered by immigration agents on Oct. 28, 2013, at the South Correctional Entity in Burien, Washington, after being arrested for failing to appear in court for driving on a suspended license.

He was also sentenced to 90 days behind bars, with 87 of the days suspended, in May 2013, after being convicted of possessing less than 40 grams of marijuana.

On Oct. 6, 2014, Santana was sentenced to 90 days behind bars for driving on a suspended license, and in May 2019, was arrested again for domestic violence assault.
