Chilling brand-new doorbell camera video reveals on-the-run Army veteran Travis Decker in the days before he's implicated of killing his three young children and disappearing 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 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 quote to acquaint the public with his appearance. Decker stays at-large and is considered harmful, given his comprehensive basic training and tendency for violence.

'These are the most current photos and videos we have that expose his last known look,' Under Sheriff Dan Ozment stated in an authorities news release.

Decker has not been seen because he got his three little ladies for a three-hour see on Friday.

The women' mom later reported them missing out on. 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 actually been suffocated with a plastic bag.

The Chelan County Sheriff's Office released Ring doorbell camera 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 also released images of Decker from before he went missing out on, showing him with sunglasses that obscured his eyes and tattoos all down his arm

The sheriff's office is now dealing with the Wenatchee Police Department, US Border Patrol and Homeland Security examinations to locate Decker, who is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping.

The US Marshals Service likewise said it would use a benefit of as much as $20,000 for any information leading to Decker's arrest - though cops say the veteran might 'position a considerable threat if approached' as he has comprehensive fight training.

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

'In talking with his father, it sounds [like] at times he would go out and live off-grid, in some cases for 2 months,' the sheriff informed press reporters.

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

He likely has advanced combat training as a result, and was an airborne paratrooper who earned the elite rank of 'Ranger,' indicating he would have outstanding wilderness and survival abilities.

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

But he stopped going to obligatory monthly drills a little over a year back, and the Guard was in the process of a disciplinary discharge.

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

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

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

Court files state that when Whitney, his ex-wife, reported her children missing on Friday, she 'revealed issue since Decker supposedly has never ever done this before and ... is currently experiencing some psychological health issues.'

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

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

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

Decker does not have permanent housing and is known to remain at hotels and camping sites, authorities said.

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

She went on to state he had actually been 'having a hard time to maintain stability' considering that they separated and it was beginning to affect their children and was prone to 'outbursts,' according to the Seattle Times.

At times, Whitney stated her ex would come into her house yelling for the women - whom he would in some cases fail to choose up after guaranteeing to do so.
