Chilling new doorbell electronic camera video shows on-the-run Army veteran Travis Decker in the days before he's accused of killing his three young daughters 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 thought about harmful, given his comprehensive basic training and propensity for violence.

'These are the most recent pictures and videos we have that reveal his last known appearance,' Under Sheriff Dan Ozment said in a police news release.

Decker has not been seen because he chose up his three little ladies for a three-hour visit on Friday.

The women' mother later on reported them missing. Their bodies were discovered at a campsite in Leavenworth, 20 miles from their home, on Monday.

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

The Chelan County Sheriff's Office launched Ring doorbell video camera video showing Travis Decker, 32, in a light colored T-shirt and dark shorts in the days leading up to his visitation with his 3 young daughters

Authorities also launched images of Decker from before he went missing out on, showing him with sunglasses that obscured his eyes and tattoos all down his arm

Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5, were discovered dead on Monday

The constable's workplace is now working with the Wenatchee Police Department, US Border Patrol and Homeland Security investigations to track down Decker, who is charged with 3 counts of first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping.

The US Marshals Service also stated it would offer a reward of approximately $20,000 for any information leading to Decker's arrest - though authorities say the veteran might 'pose a significant risk if approached' as he has extensive battle training.

He likewise went through substantial outside survival training, which authorities admitted Wednesday might make the search efforts more challenging, with Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison stating Decker was 'skilled in outdoor survival.'

'In talking with his dad, it sounds [like] sometimes he would head out and live off-grid, in some cases for two months,' the constable informed press reporters.

Decker signed up with the US Army in 2012 and served a trip in Afghanistan 2 years later.

He likely has advanced fight training as a result, and was an air-borne paratrooper who made the elite rank of 'Ranger,' suggesting he would have outstanding wilderness and survival skills.

Decker then transferred to the Washington Army National Guard in 2021, rising to the rank of sergeant.

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

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

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

It now appears that Decker had actually been experiencing mental health concerns.

Court documents specify that when Whitney, his ex-wife, reported her children missing on Friday, she 'expressed issue since Decker reportedly has never done this before and ... is presently experiencing some mental health issues.'

She described to police officials that Decker was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and believes he did not take medication for the condition, according to court files.

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

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

Decker does not have irreversible housing and is understood to remain at hotels and campgrounds, authorities said.

That seemed to produce its own issues, with Whitney writing in September divorce procedures that Decker would sometimes have the girls sleep at an armory while he remained in the National Guard - regardless of her objections.

She went on to say he had been 'having a hard time to maintain stability' because they separated and it was beginning to impact their daughters and was susceptible to 'outbursts,' according to the Seattle Times.

Sometimes, Whitney said her ex would enter into her house yelling for the women - whom he would sometimes stop working to get after assuring to do so.

Nevertheless, Whitney informed police, whenever Decker would be running late to return the girls, he would usually call first.
