Endangered Alert Issued For Three Missing Wenatchee Girls
Police in Wenatchee are asking for the public's assistance in locating three children who are believed to be missing and unable to return home on their own.
The Wenatchee Police Department says the girls - 9-year-old Paityn Decker, 8-year-old Evelyn Decker, and 5-year-old Olivia Decker, were last seen at around 5 p.m. on Friday (May 30) with their father, Travis Decker, for a court-scheduled visitation but they have not returned home and contact cannot be made with their father.

Investigators say Travis Decker is homeless and living either inside his vehicle or at an area hotel/motel or campground, and the visitation was part of a parenting plan that did not include his custody of the girls through the weekend, prompting cause for alarm.

Authorities add that the current state of the situation doesn't meet the required criteria for the issuance of an AMBER Alert, but an Endangered Missing Persons Alert has been issued through the Washington State Patrol.
