Grays Harbor Undersheriff Rick Scott said several officers have more than 120 hours into the case and tips over the hotline have dropped significantly in recent days.

Scott said volunteers and officers will continue re-canvasing much of the small town and outlying areas today. They will also move into the nearby off-road vehicle park as their search expands.

Search dogs have struggled to find any scent of the young girl despite several days of trying. Scott said new moisture in the ground from weekend weather may help.

Wet weather could help search for missing girl

The effort was ramped up Monday morning because searchers said wet weather can enhance a person&#8217;s scent, especially in the woods.

Search dog teams from throughout the south Puget Sound area were back out searching Monday.

Searchers are focusing in the Straddleline Off Road Vehicle Park, about 3.5 miles from where Baum was last seen. The park consists of hundreds of miles of trails.

Police said they were not able to search the park last week because it was full of campers prior to the Fourth of July.

It's been ten days since Lindsey Baum, 10, was reported missing in McCleary.

The search for Baum has tapered off, but Grays Harbor County Undersheriff Rick Scott says the change in weather is good for search and rescue teams. "The canines were affected by the heat."

Scott says their teams will be going deeper into wooded areas they've already searched and also focusing on the off road vehicle park east of McCleary. He adds that they're following up on leads and conducting deeper research, but there are no red flags.

Father of missing girl wants her home before he goes to Iraq

In his first public appearance since his daughter's disappearance last month, Scott Baum made a plea for her return.

"I'm fixing to deploy to Iraq and tomorrow is her birthday," Baum said Monday, "I would love nothing more than to see my daughter before I have to go."

The effort was ramped up Monday morning because searchers said wet weather can enhance a person&#8217;s scent, especially in the woods.

Scott Baum, who is in the National Guard in Tennessee, would not take questions from reporters.

"Please bring my daughter home," he said.

Dad Deploying To Iraq Pleads For Missing Daughter's Return

Lindsey&#8217;s dad, Scott Baum, said in a press conference on Monday, &#8220;I would love nothing more that to see my daughter before I have to go.&#8221;
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&#8217;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.
