  Speaker 2: After this, the serene landscapes of Washington's National Forest became
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the chilling backdrop for an unthinkable tragedy. Three young sisters,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Peyton Decker nine, Evelyn Decker eight, and Olivia Decker five,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: were found dead at the Rock Island campground near Leavenworth.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Four documents obtained by Fox thirteen paint a horrifying picture.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: The girls likely died by asphyxiation, their wrists bound with
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: zip ties and plastic bags over their heads. Their father,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Travis Decker thirty two, is now a fugitive charged with
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: recounts a first degree murderer and kidnapping, prompting a nationwide manhunt,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: and now officials are offering a twenty thousand dollars reward
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: for information leading to Decker's arrest. This resident spoke to
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Cairo seven News.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry for the family. Inform for the mother. That's devastating.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I absolutely cannot imagine. The horror began when Decker, a
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: former military member with extensive training, failed to return the
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: girls to their mom, Whitney Decker, on May thirtieth, as
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: stipulated by their court ordered parenting plan, and endangered missing
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: person alert was issued the very next day. But hope
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: turned to despair when a Shellane County Sheriff's deputy discovered
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Decker's twenty seventeen white gmccer a pickup truck marked with
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: two bloody handprints, seventeen miles up Icicle Road. The girl's
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: bodies were found seventy five to one hundre dred yards
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: away down an embankment, surrounded by scattered zip ties and
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: plastic bags. According to court records, Decker's cell phone activity
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: showed he had visited the campground a day prior to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: picking up the girls. Decker's documented mental health struggles cast
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: a long shadow over the tragedy. Court documents detail a
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: history of instability, revealing a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two. This psychological evaluation was ordered during
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: his contentious divorce from Whitney after she reported his erratic behavior,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: including angry outbursts and suicidal ideation. The evaluation revealed his
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: struggles with emotional regulation, impulsivity, and paranoia. Whitney granted primary
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: custody in twenty twenty three, required Decker to undergo ongoing
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: mental health treatment and anger management counseling as conditions for
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: supervised visitation, but records show he attended only three therapy
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: sessions in twenty twenty four and stop taking prescribed meds
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: citing a distrust of medical professionals. Whitney told investigators Decker's
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: mental health had deteriorated in recent months. He was reportedly homeless,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: living in his truck or motels. His military background, including
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: trading in survival tactics, has heightened concerns about his ability
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: to evade capture. Authorities do not know if he has
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: a weapon on him, but they are treating him as
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: armed and dangerous. Decker is described as white, five foot eight,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Authorities urge anyone with information on his whereabouts to call
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: nine to one one, emphasizing he should not be approached.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Tips can also be submitted anonymously to crime stoppers at
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: one eight hundred two to two tips. And finally, he
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: stepped in to do the right thing to protect a stranger,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: and for that selfless act, Tice Carter was brutally butchered.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: The forty one year old Long Island hero endured a
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: savage two on one beat down at a Brentwood, Long
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Island bus stop, a confrontation that ended with his nose
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: bitten right off. But from that horrifying moment of disfigurement,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: a medical miracle has emerged, giving Carter his face and
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: his life back. This past January, Carter saw two men
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: harassing a young woman at that bus stop and intervened.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: The situation, though escalated, turning into a horrific two on
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: one assault. He knew he'd been bitten because his jacket
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: was full of blood, but it wasn't until he got
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: to the hospital that he saw the devastating reality that
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: his nose was gone, his world seemingly shattered. Carter's life
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: was transformed by doctor Lorent Ganry, an oral and maxillofacial
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: surgeon at Long Island Jewish Medical Center. Here's Tyson at
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: the news conference. Someone who hasn't seen me for a
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: while looks in my face unless they really unless you
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: really look, you can't even tell that it's let anything happen.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Over nine grueling weeks, doctor Ganry performed three cutting edge surgeries.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: He used a three D printed model of Carter's face
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: and clay to meticulously sculpt a precise nose template, even
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: using Carter's old selfies for reference. Skin and muscle were
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: also grafted from Carter's forehead and arm employing a technique
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: refined from ancient Indian surgical methods. For Carter, the surgery
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: not only restored his confidence, but also his ability to
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: wear glasses, which are crucial because he can only see
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: six inches in front of him without them. He still
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: faces one final procedure for breathing, but Carter remains remarkably resilient,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: proof the tragedy can be turned into triumph. Nancy.
