Summary

On May 30th, 2025, thirty-two-year-old Travis Decker went to his ex-wife Whitney Decker’s home to pick up his 3 daughters, all under the age of ten, for a visit. A few days later all three girls were found murdered and Travis was nowhere to be found.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Travis Decker. After the murders were discovered, the authorities didn't know for sure whether Travis was the perpetrator or a victim himself. But that picture soon became clear after DNA results came back. What ensued was a manhunt for Travis Decker, who quickly became one of the most hated men on the planet.
