Police searching for three missing sisters who vanished on Friday have swooped on a remote campsite in rural Washington state 

Sisters Paityn, nine, Evelyn, eight, and Olivia Decker, five, vanished on Friday after their father, Travis Decker, 32, collected them from their mother’s house for a scheduled visit. 

Since then he has gone AWOL, sparking a massive police hunt and fears for the girls’ safety. 

Now, police are honing in on Rock Island Campground. A SWAT team was called around 5pm and the area was shutdown between 7pm and 9pm. 

Travis Decker is accused of not returning his three daughters, Paityn, nine, Evelyn, eight, and Olivia, five, on Friday. Decker was charged with first-degree custodial interference after he allegedly failed to return his children to their mother, Whitney Decker, after a scheduled three-hour visit

Decker, 32, a veteran, does not have permanent housing and is known for staying at hotels and campgrounds, police said. 

His ex-wife, the girls’ mother, is particularly worried because he has ‘really struggled since he left the military’. 

‘His mental health can be hard sometimes,’ she told KIRO 7. 

The girls were last seen around 5pm on Friday when they left their home with Decker.  

He was last seen driving a 2017 white GMC Sierra pickup with Washington license plate D20165C. 

Paityn is described as 4’8″ and 80 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

She was last seen wearing a blue shirt, purple shorts, and pink Nike sneakers.
