Decker, 32, was captured 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 daughters Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5, in Wenatchee, Washington State.

He might be seen with a goatee and a mustache, with his long hair drew back.

Authorities shared the images of the wanted suspect last night in a bid to familiarize the general public with his look. Decker remains at-large and is considered unsafe, given his substantial military training and tendency for violence.

‘These are the most current pictures and videos we have that reveal his last recognized appearance,’ Under Sheriff Dan Ozment stated in an authorities press release.

Decker has not been seen given that he selected up his three little girls for a three-hour see on Friday.

The ladies’ mother later on reported them missing. Their bodies were found at a camping area in Leavenworth, 20 miles from their home, on Monday.

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

Authorities also released photos of Decker from before he went missing, showing him with sunglasses that obscured his eyes and tattoos all down his arm

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

The US Marshals Service likewise stated it would use a benefit of up to $20,000 for any details leading to Decker’s arrest - though authorities state the veteran could ‘position a substantial danger if approached’ as he has extensive combat training.

He also went through comprehensive outdoor survival training, which authorities confessed Wednesday may make the search efforts more difficult, with Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison stating Decker was ‘fluent in outdoor survival.’

‘In talking with his father, it sounds [like] at times he would go out and live off-grid, sometimes for 2 months,’ the sheriff told press reporters.

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

He likely has advanced combat training as a result, and was an airborne paratrooper who made the elite rank of ‘Ranger,’ showing he would have exceptional wilderness and survival abilities.

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

But he stopped going to obligatory regular monthly drills a little over a year earlier, and the Guard remained in the procedure of a disciplinary discharge.

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

It now appears that Decker had been experiencing psychological health issues.

Court files mention that when Whitney, his ex-wife, reported her children missing on Friday, she ‘expressed concern due to the fact that Decker apparently has actually never ever done this before and … is currently experiencing some mental health concerns.’

She described to law enforcement authorities that Decker was diagnosed with borderline character disorder and thinks he did not take medication for the condition, according to court files.

She stated the ladies had a ‘good relationship with Decker and enjoy their time with him.’

But she kept in mind that when Decker showed up to get the women on Friday he was ‘quieter than normal’ which was ‘out of character’ for him.

Decker does not have permanent housing and is understood to stay at hotels and camping areas, police stated.

That seemed to produce its own problems, with Whitney composing in September divorce proceedings that Decker would sometimes have the girls sleep at an armory while he remained in the National Guard - despite her objections.

She went on to state he had been ‘having a hard time to keep stability’ because they separated and it was to affect their daughters and was susceptible to ‘outbursts,’ according to the Seattle Times.

Sometimes, Whitney stated her ex would enter into her home shouting for the girls - whom he would sometimes stop working to pick up after assuring to do so.

Even so, Whitney informed authorities, whenever Decker would be running late to return the ladies, he would normally call initially.
