She had just returned a few weeks ago from a trip with her estranged husband (a soldier in the National Guard) and child (who is now three years old). She lived with Ronald Roldan, of Centreville, who investigators said is the last known person to have seen Decker. She vanished seemingly without a trace: there has been no activity on her bank accounts, cell phone or email. Investigators said that she did not leave the country. 

On Feb. 19, 2011, her grandparents found her car at the apartment, and reported her missing. Authorities have never named a suspect in the case.
