<snipped>
A desperate search for a Washington State girl missing for more than two weeks is all-the-more urgent because her father is due to deploy to Iraq soon.

On "The Early Show" Monday, Scott told co-anchor Julie Chen, "My heart's really heavy. ... I'm torn between sense of family and duty." He added that his commanders in the military have given him as uch time as he needs to see his personal ordeal through.

Asked by Chen what she would say if Lindsey could hear her, Lindsey's mother, Melissa Baum, repsonded, "I want Lindsey to know that I love her more than anything in the world and that I'm not giving up on her. I will never stop looking for her. I will look for her until I have her in my arms again."

"My heart tels me she's alive," Melissa said. "I really don't doubt that. Where, I would give anything if I had a clue as to where she was."

MANY CLUES BUT FEW FACTS AS LINDSEY BAUM SEARCH ENTERS THIRD WEEK
July 13, 2009
<snipped>
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". Investigators still urge anyone with information to call 866 915 8299.

Parents of Missing Girl Speak Out On 'Early Show'

The search for missing 11-year-old Lindsey Baum got nationwide attention when her parents appeared on CBS' 'The Early Show' Monday morning.

&#8220;My heart tells me she is alive; where I don&#8217;t know,&#8221; Melissa Baum, Lindsey&#8217;s mother, said on 'The Early Show.' &#8220;I would give anything to know where she is.&#8221;

Authorities have been working on the theory that she might have run away to Tennessee, where her father lives, but Rick Scott of the Gray&#8217;s Harbor County Sheriff&#8217;s Office said it&#8217;s unlikely that someone her age would be gone this long without &#8220;surfacing in some manner.&#8221; Lindsey&#8217;s father, Scott Baum, a member of the Tennessee National Guard who is deploying to Iraq soon, told authorities that he has not seen or heard from his daughter since her disappearance.

Officials have not had any new developments in the case but ask anyone with information to contact the Grays Harbor County Sheriff&#8217;s office at 866-915-8299 or send an e-mail to: soadmin@co.grays-harbor.wa.us.

More than 100 searchers have used dogs, horses and helicopters seeking any trace of Lindsey, but investigators says they have little to go on, and they're appealing to the public for help.

On "The Early Show" Monday, Scott told co-anchor Julie Chen, "My heart's really heavy. ... I'm torn between sense of family and duty." He added that his commanders in the military have given him as uch time as he needs to see his personal ordeal through.

Town not giving up on missing girl

MCCLEARY, Wash. -- While the official search for Lindsey Baum has been scaled back, no one in this town is giving up on finding her.

"We continue to get tips, we continually talk to the public," said McLeary Police Chief George Crumb. "I don't believe they've given up hope."

The investigation, which has involved multiple local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, has turned up nothing.

"Still from day one we haven't gotten any real viable good leads," Crumb said. "Leads keep coming in, but actual things we can work on, nothing has been presented to us."

Detectives don't want to see Lindsey's story disappear from the headlines, because each story could kick loose that one crucial tip.
