Summary
In this urgent and eye-opening episode, former FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke breaks down the critical warning signs that preceded Travis Decker's horrific murder of his three young daughters - Paityn (9), Evelyn (8), and Olivia (5). As a $20,000 manhunt continues in the Washington wilderness, Dreeke provides life-saving insights every mother needs to hear about recognizing danger during custody disputes.
Drawing from his 20+ years analyzing the most dangerous criminals, Dreeke reveals the specific behavioral red flags that escalated in the months before the murders: Decker's homelessness, missed National Guard duties, and increasingly erratic visitation patterns. Learn why the combination of borderline personality disorder, military PTSD, and custody loss creates a "perfect storm" for family violence.
Most importantly, Dreeke shares practical FBI techniques mothers can use TODAY to assess threats during custody exchanges, including his "trust equation" for reading dangerous intentions. He explains why Decker's pre-crime Google searches for "relocating to Canada" represented a critical escalation point that courts missed.
This isn't just true crime analysis - it's a potentially life-saving masterclass in recognizing when an ex-partner is approaching their breaking point. Dreeke's message is clear: "Documentation saves lives." Learn what to document, when to involve law enforcement, and how to advocate for supervised visitation when multiple risk factors align. Every mother navigating a difficult custody situation needs this information. Your intuition combined with these FBI insights could prevent the next tragedy.
