WENATCHEE, Wash – The flag outside of the Chelan County Courthouse will fly at half-staff for the next week to honor three sisters, allegedly murdered by their father.
Paityn, Evelyn and Olivia Decker were on a visit with their father last week and he didn’t return them to their mother in Wenatchee.
Three days later, the girls were found dead in the woods near Leavenworth.
Investigators issued an arrest warrant for their father, Travis Decker, for three counts of aggravated murder and three counts of kidnapping.
As of Wednesday afternoon, he hasn’t been found.
The community of Wenatchee is mourning the loss, including members of the law enforcement agencies conducting the investigation.
Wednesday, the Wenatchee County Board of Commissioners ordered the flag at the courthouse to lower in memory of the girls.
“The young sisters who lost their lives were loved by many and we honor their beautiful smiles, sisterly love and their time here our community,” Chelan County Emergency Management posted to Facebook,
The county encouraged other agencies to honor the girls by also lowering their flags until June 10th.
