Dad Deploying To Iraq Pleads For Missing Daughter's Return

Lindsey’s dad, Scott Baum, said in a press conference on Monday, “I would love nothing more that to see my daughter before I have to go.”
Scott Baum is with the Tennessee National Guard and is scheduled to deploy in the very near future.

Fifty to 60 searchers from nearby counties gathered Monday to focus their search in a RV park 4 miles from McCleary. Rick Scott of Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Office said crews tentatively searched the park before, but now that the holiday weekend is over and there are less people, the search can intensify.

Rain in the forecast has also aided search dogs in picking up Lindsey’s scent. Scott said with the dry weather, any scent of Lindsey may have dried up, but with rain it will rehydrate the ground and allow dogs to detect scents again.

Scott said officials want to capitalize on the weather before more rain comes and possibly washes away any sign of Lindsey.

Scott said investigators found nothing on her computer or cell phone that led to any definite scenarios. He also said investigators have found no specific evidence to support any scenario. He also said leads and tips have fizzled out.

Missing girl's father facing heart-rending deadline

Baum, who lives in Tennessee, arrived in McCleary over the weekend with his heart in a knot. The father said he had to get clearance from his military superiors before making the trip.

On Monday nearly 60 searchers - the largest number of ground searchers to date - searched a nearby off-road vehicle park, as well as the hills beyond them.

And the search hasn't been easy. The Capitol Forest is 80,000 acres of steep hillsides, miles of rugged terrain and countless roadways.

A change in the weather on Monday gave the search teams a second wind. The cooler temperatures also helped the dog teams pick up scents.

Scott Baum says, "Please bring my daughter home. I'm fixing to deploy to Iraq and tomorrow is her birthday and I would love nothing more than to see my daughter before I have to go."

Lindsey's mom Melissa says, "I just want my baby back. That's all I want is for her to come home and I want her to be here for her 11th birthday."

Melissa planned to take Lindsey to the new Harry Potter movie for her birthday and get her a digital camera.

Meanwhile, today dozens of searchers including dogs continued to look for Lindsey. They focused on a nearby ORV park now that holiday travelers have left. The park, which is a few miles east of McCleary, also provides more parking for search & rescue vehicles.

The father of a missing McCleary girl has pleaded for her safe return. Scott Baum said during a news conference yesterday in the small Grays Harbor County town that he wants to see his daughter again before deploying to Iraq. Baum is a member of the Tennessee National Guard and says he's deploying soon. Lindsey Baum has been missing since June 26, when she left a friend's house but never made it home. The girl is 4-foot-9, 80 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a light blue hooded pullover shirt and blue jeans. Today (Tuesday) is Lindsey's 11th birthday. Authorities yesterday were searching an off-road vehicle park four miles from McCleary. Investigators have also searched Lindsey's computer and brought in search dogs again.

“Please bring my daughter home”
Searchers “a long way from throwing in the towel”
Tuesday, July 7, 2009 11:12 AM PDT
<snipped>
Today is her 11th birthday.

Scott Baum had last seen his daughter about a year ago. He now faces deployment in the coming weeks, but hopes to see Lindsey before he leaves.

The upcoming McCleary Bear Festival offers investigators another chance to talk to people and spread information on Lindsey’s disappearance. Despite concerns about thinning law enforcement resources on the 11th day of searching, Scott said investigators will remain dedicated to bringing the girl back to her family.

“We’ll have officers in McCleary until Lindsey is found,” he said.

For now though, her birthday passes as a solemn affair. Her family gathered from across the country, but missing its center and any reason to celebrate.

With a light rain coming down Monday, Scott Baum stared into the television cameras and asked anyone with information to call authorities.

“I would love nothing more than to see my daughter before I go,” he said, holding up the flier. “Please bring my daughter home before I have to leave.”

Scott Baum, father of missing 10-year-old Lindsey Baum, watches Monday afternoon as reporters ask about the most recent developments in the search for the girl, who disappeared from a McCleary street on June 26.

Missing girl’s 11th birthday passes with her still away
Wednesday, July 8, 2009 12:09 PM PDT

Grays Harbor Undersheriff Rick Scott said investigators continue to look ahead to new leads in the disappearance, but Baum’s birthday stood as a milestone for deputies and the family.

“Obviously, a day they’d hoped to be celebrating,” he said, pausing. “It’s not the celebration they’d hoped for.”

No evidence has turned up to point detectives in a “new direction,” Scott said today. He noted tips over the hotline have fallen to a “trickle,” but investigators continue to follow specific leads and conduct interviews.

“We’ve got a dozen (deputies) out on the street today,” he said this morning, but the widespread ground search of the town and outlying areas has been suspended for now.

Though many deputies have worked overtime and labored through weekends, about 15 deputies and detectives are expected to remain on the case throughout the week in hopes of finding a break.

“They’re not giving up,” he said. “There’s no defeat in them.”

With little to go on, investigators said dozens of people have been taken off the search. Detectives are now waiting for a tip that will send them in the right direction.

At the height of the search, 75 members of the search and rescue team, as well as up to 35 officers and countless volunteers were scouring Grays Harbor County for the girl, who disappeared while walking home last month.

Without solid tips, the county can't afford to keep the investigation moving at the same pace. The search and rescue team has been dismissed, and the number of officers have been reduced to 12.

Scott, who spoke with the Baum family on Wednesday, said family members are convinced their little girl will be brought home safely.

Scott Baum is expected to fly out next week.

Officers will mix with revellers this weekend
Thursday, July 9, 2009 11:12 AM PDT
<snipped>
With the town of McCleary shaken by the recent disappearance of 11-year-old Lindsey Baum, authorities hope to take advantage of this weekend’s Bear Festival to spread information and solicit new tips.

Scott said the extra officers will be patrolling to reassure residents and offer a visible presence to anyone who might want to come forward with new information.

About a dozen investigators, split between the Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, will continue pursuing specific leads.

“We’ve got a few things that were called in overnight,” Scott said.

Authorities will check and re-search abandoned houses and farms outside of town today, he said. Volunteers already searched some sites, but officers want to make a more thorough sweep of nearby properties and spread out to some that are farther afield.

Scott said the investigation command office is set to move back to a more permanent home at the Sheriff’s Office in Montesano. A “core group” of investigators will remain on the case as long as necessary.

With the search nearing two weeks, the young girl remains on the minds of many people on the streets of McCleary and stretching out across the nation. Cable news programs continue to follow the story and new Web sites post new information on her disappearance daily.

Lindsey Baum is Still Missing: A Tale of Two 11-Year Old Girls
Redirecting Focus: Lindsey Baum's 11th Birthday Passed While Much of the World was Focused on Michael Jackson's 11-Year-Old Daughter
July 08, 2009
<snipped>
While the entire world seemed to be focused on the memorial service of Michael Jackson and an 11-year-old girl's farewell to her father, a missing 11-year-old girl, Lindsey Baum, spent her birthday, her 11th birthday, somewhere other than
with her father. She has been missing since the day after Michael Jackson died. Somewhere between a friend's house and her own, a trip she's made several times before in the past, Lindsey Baum disappeared.

Lindsey Baum has been missing since the day after Michael Jackson died. And while a little 11-year-old girl named Paris cried in Los Angeles, missing her father, family and friends cried in McCleary, missing another little 11-year-old girl, Lindsey.

And the difference in the two cannot be more staggering. Everyone in the world who cares to knows exactly where Paris Jackson is. But no one knows where Lindsey Baum is.

And that is something the world should also focus on...

One could not help but think that if just a small portion of the people who directed their attention to the Michael Jackson memorial service, perhaps just the people in Washington, would just turn their attention to finding Lindsey Baum, she would be found within a matter of minutes and returned to her family. And not only Lindsey, but Haleigh Cummings, Brittanee Drexel, and hundreds of other missing children as well.

Lindsey Baum is Missing: Washington 10-Year-Old Still Not Found
Police Believe Lindsey Baum was Taken by Someone She Knew
<snipped>
McCleary Police and other authorities now believe that Lindsey Baum was taken or went off with someone she knew. A timeline has been developed and a witness saw the little girl walking about halfway to her destination at around 9:15. Surveillance footage taken from a gas station she would have passed later on the way home does not show her at all. That close to her home, officials believe that she went with someone she knew willingly, otherwise sounds and signs of a struggle would have alerted people in the densely housed area.

Lindsey's mother, Melissa, has passed a polygraph test, as has Scott Williams, the father of the child where Lindsey Baum was visiting and one of the last people to see her.

STILL NO SIGN OF MISSING McCLEARY GIRL
July 09, 2009
<snipped>
It has now been 14 days since 10-year old Lindsey Baum went missing in her home town of McCleary while waking home from a friend’s house and still no sign of the girl.

Lindsey’s 11th birthday came and went Tuesday with searchers seemingly no closer to finder her than they were on June 26th when she vanished.

With very little to go on investigators say dozens of people have been taken off the search and authorites say they are waiting for that one tip or tips that will jump start the probe in the right direction.

Grays Harbor County undersheriff Rick Scott said his officers were trying to keep Lindsey’s pictures and her face in the minds of as many people as possible, hoping that someone will see her or know something or it will jog their memory or provide the information they desperately need.

Law enforcement officials in Grays Harbor County say it appears “likely” that missing 10-year-old Lindsey Baum was abducted, perhaps by someone she knew.

Birthday Girl Remains Missing in McCleary on Tuesday, Search Efforts Continue Today

Scott said today that video footage taken from a nearby Shell station which investigators had hoped would have captured Lindsey yielded no stand-out leads, some leads are still being investigated from the video.

Grays Harbor County Sheriff Mike Whelan says that investigators have received a lot of tips, and that so far the investigation has yielded no primary suspects. "We've been sending teams of detectives out to follow up on those tips" "as far as suspects are concerned, we don't have anyone that we can say is the suspect"

Police are following up on several leads in the case, Scott tells that the Forensic Investigation on Lindsey's home computer has turned up little more, and that they have expanded the computer level search to other computers that Lindsey may have used to access her internet profiles, including the local public library's computer.

Chief George Crumb of the McCleary Police Department said last weekend that friends and family are assisting the search, and that while his department hopes Baum just ran off on her own, "she's been gone far too long."

Undersheriff Rick Scott says after two weeks, the command center for the search for the missing 11-year old will be the Sheriff's office in Montesano, which he says is better equipped to handle the search at this time. Scott says sight of deputies pulling out of McCleary should not be taken as a sign of giving up and that investigators are still holding out hope that some clue may be discovered that will lead to Lindsey's whereabouts. In the last two weeks, over 100 searchers have used dogs, horses and helicopters to search the McCleary area for the missing girl who disappeared on the night of June 26th. Around 300 tips have been investigated and tried and true methods have yielded no clues as to what happened two weeks ago as Lindsey walked home from a friends house making this what veterans are calling "the most frustrating case they have faced"
