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 daughters 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 bid to familiarize the public with his appearance. Decker remains at-large and is considered dangerous, provided his comprehensive military training and propensity for violence.
'These are the most current pictures and videos we have that expose his last recognized look,' Under Sheriff Dan Ozment stated in an authorities news release.
Decker has actually not been seen since he got his 3 little ladies for a three-hour go to on Friday.
The girls' mom later on reported them missing out on. Their bodies were found at a campsite in Leavenworth, 20 miles from their home, on Monday.
Their wrists had actually 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 revealing 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 photos of Decker from before he went missing out on, revealing him with sunglasses that obscured his eyes and tattoos all down his arm
Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5, were discovered dead on Monday
The constable's office is now working with the Wenatchee Police Department, US Border Patrol and Homeland Security investigations to find Decker, who is charged with 3 counts of first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping.
The US Marshals Service also said it would offer a benefit of up to $20,000 for any details resulting in Decker's arrest - though cops say the veteran might 'position a considerable danger if approached' as he has substantial battle training.
He also went through extensive outside survival training, which authorities admitted Wednesday might make the search efforts harder, with Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison stating Decker was 'well-versed in outside survival.'
'In talking with his dad, it sounds [like] sometimes he would go out and live off-grid, sometimes for 2 months,' the constable told reporters.
Decker signed up with 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 air-borne paratrooper who made the elite rank of 'Ranger,' suggesting he would have exceptional wilderness and survival abilities.
Decker then transferred to the Washington Army National Guard in 2021, increasing to the rank of sergeant.
But he stopped going to necessary month-to-month drills a little over a year back, and the Guard remained in the procedure of a disciplinary discharge.
Decker has not been seen considering that he got his three little girls for a three-hour go to on Friday
Whitney, his ex-wife, reported her children missing out on when he stopped working to return them Friday night
It now appears that Decker had actually been experiencing psychological health issues.
Court files state that when Whitney, his ex-wife, reported her daughters missing on Friday, she 'revealed issue due to the fact that Decker apparently has actually never done this before and ... is currently some psychological health concerns.'
She explained to law enforcement authorities that Decker was identified with borderline personality condition and believes he did not take medication for the condition, according to court documents.
She stated the girls had a 'excellent relationship with Decker and enjoy their time with him.'
But she noted that when Decker showed up to choose up the women on Friday he was 'quieter than typical' which was 'out of character' for him.
Decker does not have irreversible housing and is known to remain at hotels and campgrounds, police stated.
That seemed to produce its own issues, with Whitney composing in September divorce proceedings that Decker would in some cases have the girls sleep at an armory while he was in the National Guard - regardless of her objections.
She went on to state he had been 'struggling to preserve stability' considering that they separated and it was starting to affect their daughters and was vulnerable to 'outbursts,' according to the Seattle Times.
Sometimes, Whitney said her ex would enter into her home yelling for the girls - whom he would often stop working to pick up after promising to do so.

However, Whitney informed cops, whenever Decker would be running late to return the girls, he would typically call first.
Sometimes, Whitney stated her ex would enter her house shouting for the women - whom he would often stop working to get after guaranteeing to do so
Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison confessed on Wednesday Decker was 'well-versed in outdoor survival'
He is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping, and on Tuesday, a judge released a warrant for Decker's arrest and bought he be held without bail.
Meanwhile, a GoFundMe established for Whitney had actually raised over $689,000 since Wednesday evening.
