Chilling brand-new doorbell camera video footage shows on-the-run Army veteran Travis Decker in the days before he's accused of murdering 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 wanted suspect last night in a quote to familiarize the public with his appearance. Decker remains at-large and is considered hazardous, given his extensive basic training and tendency for violence.


'These are the most recent images and videos we have that reveal his last recognized appearance,' Under Sheriff Dan Ozment stated in an authorities news release.


Decker has not been seen since he got his 3 little women for a three-hour check out on Friday.


The girls' mother later reported them missing. Their bodies were found at a campground in Leavenworth, 20 miles from their home, on Monday.


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


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


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


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


The sheriff's workplace is now working with the Wenatchee Police Department, US Border Patrol and Homeland Security examinations to find 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 up to $20,000 for any information leading to Decker's arrest - though police say the veteran could 'position a substantial risk if approached' as he has comprehensive fight training.


He also went through comprehensive outdoor survival training, which authorities admitted Wednesday may make the search efforts more tough, 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 head out and live off-grid, in some cases for two months,' the sheriff informed reporters.


Decker joined the US Army in 2012 and served a trip in Afghanistan 2 years later on.


He likely has actually advanced battle training as an outcome, and was an airborne paratrooper who earned the elite rank of 'Ranger,' suggesting he would have excellent wilderness and survival skills.


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


But he stopped attending necessary monthly drills a little over a year back, and the Guard remained 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 see on Friday


Whitney, his ex-wife, reported her daughters missing out on when he failed to return them Friday night


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


Court documents mention that when Whitney, his ex-wife, reported her daughters missing on Friday, she 'revealed concern due to the fact that Decker supposedly has actually never ever done this before and ... is presently experiencing some psychological health concerns.'


She discussed to law enforcement authorities that Decker was detected with borderline personality condition and thinks he did not take medication for the condition, according to court files.


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


But she kept in mind that when Decker got here to get the girls on Friday he was 'quieter than usual' which was 'out of character' for him.


Decker does not have long-term housing and is known to stay at hotels and campgrounds, authorities stated.


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


She went on to say he had actually been 'struggling to maintain stability' considering that they separated and it was beginning to affect their daughters and was susceptible to 'outbursts,' according to the Seattle Times.


Sometimes, Whitney said her ex would come into her home yelling for the women - whom he would sometimes fail to select up after promising to do so.


Whitney specified in September divorce procedures that he had actually been 'having a hard time to maintain stability' because they were separated and it was starting to impact their children


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

Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison confessed on Wednesday Decker was 'fluent in outdoor survival'


He is charged with 3 counts of first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping, and on Tuesday, a judge released a warrant for Decker's arrest and purchased he be held without bail.


Meanwhile, a GoFundMe set up for Whitney had actually raised over $689,000 as of Wednesday evening.
