🚨 Footage released by the Wenatchee Police Department shows Decker in a Safeway (or grocery store) parking lot on May 27, just three days before he vanished with the children. Captured on police dashcam, the nearly 20-minute video depicts him leaning against his white pick-up after rear-ending another vehicle. He appears visibly nervous and fidgety, crosses his arms, engages with the responding officer and the other driver, and initially pleads with the driver not to call the police. The incident resulted in citations for no insurance and following too closely
🔎 Why the footage matters:
-
Timing: Decker is seen interacting with authorities just days before he picked up his daughters—Paityn (9), Evelyn (8), and Olivia (5)—on May 30 for a scheduled visitation, after which they disappeared and were tragically found dead on June 2
-
Behavior: Observers describe him as looking “not in his full senses,” with “odd questions” and an awkward handshake that one motorist found “intimidating”
-
Clues: The video offers law enforcement insight into Decker’s mental state and appearance shortly before the crime, informing the ongoing manhunt, which is now entering its seventh week.
