Homeowner Posts List Of Items Seized In McCleary Search

A McCleary homeowner angry over a search for evidence in a missing girl case has posted a list of items police took from the home.

The homeowner posted the documents on a forum, detailing what police removed from the house and explaining where each item came from.

The documents show police took clothes, film, computer equipment, condoms and a "bag with green vegetation" that the homeowner described as "weed."

The homeowner told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Richard Thompson that "they didn't find anything here because we didn't do anything to that little girl."

A relative of the man who was the focus of the search said that "the only reason they were doing this search is, he gave a wrong answer to a question by a detective on the telephone."

The homeowner has contacted a lawyer and is considering a lawsuit.

A man's conflicting stories to acquaintances were among the factors that led to the issuance of a search warrant in the Lindsey Baum case, according to an affidavit in support of the warrant obtained by KOMO News.

The court documents identify as a person of interest a man connected to the properties searched last week.

Writing in the affidavit filed in Grays Harbor County Superior Court, a detective said he believed Lindsey had been kidnapped and that evidence would be found at the properties.

KOMO News is not naming the man since he has not been arrested.

According to the court document, detectives have received multiple conflicting statements about where the person of interest was on the night of June 26.

Investigators wrote that the man told them he was working a second job at the time, but the business told detectives he hadn't been there in weeks.

Others have given investigators differing accounts of where the man may have been when Lindsey went missing.

A friend of the man told investigators she spoke with the person of interest on the phone in the day's after Lindsey's disappearance and he told her he "could not believe that a girl had been taken and cut up and dismembered," a sheriff's detective wrote in the affidavit.

_______________________
This is the abandoned house. It was left about 5 years ago with a lot of stuff left there. There has been people breaking in there over the years and even transients staying in there. Someone even went in and tore the wiring out of the ceiling and the power company disconnected at the pole.

They have had problems keeping people out of there. It's known there are people going in and out of there illegally.

The *advertiser censored* magazines are not on any list... but I am told there use to be an bunch of old 1970's playboys/similar(kind sold in stores) which use to belong to older relative. No one has lived in that house for about 5 years. So why they was said in the news ???? sensationalism I guess???
 
Why McCleary Man Is Person Of Interest In Missing Girl Case
Posted: 4:05 pm PDT October 2, 2009
Updated: 4:26 pm PDT October 2, 2009
<snipped>
According to a search warrant affidavit prepared by prosecutors, the man gave four different stories about his whereabouts the night Baum disappeared.

Police said the man exhibited strange behavior, including a disturbing statement he made to a friend the day after Baum disappeared.

The documents also indicated a car similar to the one the man drives was seen nearby at the time of Lindsey's disappearance. Friends said the man was obsessed with the case and that he was pulled over by police after following Lindsey's Baum's mother through town.

The sheriff's office said it knows the search was hard on the family that lives in the home, but deputies said they are "doing everything in our power and our legal authority to find Lindsey Baum."

The man's family said police found nothing of significance during the search because the man is innocent.

A family member told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Richard Thompson that the man "didn't do it."

"When he does talk about it, he cries because he's not that kind of a person," said the family member who did not want to be identified.

List of seized items released in missing girl case
October 2, 2009
Updated 17 minutes ago.
<snipped>
A McCleary landowner has done what the sheriff will not: release a list of items seized in the investigation of a missing girl.

The property owner is angry over the search of his acreage just south of town last week and has threatened to sue. On a website devoted to discussion of true crime, a posting displays a copy of a search warrant seeking evidence of a kidnapping. It lists dozens of items confiscated during the search: computers, a rifle, used condoms, discarded clothing, and some marijuana, among other things.

"Person of Interest" Investigated in Disappearance of McCleary Girl
October 2, 2009
A man whose family owns two homes searched in connection with missing 11-year old Lindsey Baum is a "person of interest," according to the Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Office.

The sheriff's office has not identified the man, but they served search warrants last weekend on the two McCleary, WA homes and yards., and the man's car.

According to court documents, the man in question changed his story about where he was working on the night of June 26, when the girl disappeared, and was a suspect in the attempted sexual assault of a child in 2000.

According to sheriff's department documents, investigators took a number of items from the search of the homes and yards, including used condoms, a disposable camera, black electrical tape, a rifle, and newspaper articles about the girl's disappearance.

Detective thinks missing Wash. girl was kidnapped

The affidavit filed in District Court says the man's conflicting stories about his whereabouts on the night Lindsey Baum disappeared were among the factors that led to issuance of the search warrants.

According to the document, the man also made a disturbing statement to a friend the day after Baum disappeared, saying he could not believe a girl had been "taken and cut up and dismembered." The detective notes that investigators didn't believe the girl was a crime victim until the week after her disappearance.

The man's family says authorities found nothing of significance during the searches because the man is innocent. The sheriff's office is not identifying the man. The court papers were made public Friday.

Family feels targeted in missing McCleary girl's case
10:45 PM PDT on Friday, October 2, 2009
<snipped>
A McCleary family claims they're unfairly targeted and harassed by police officers connected to the case of missing Lindsey Baum.

Friday, a tearful mother and an angry father defended their son who was the subject of a search warrant at their rural McCleary home, related to the disappearance of 11-year-old Lindsey Baum.

Court documents released Friday relate why detectives believed the son could be Baum's kidnapper.

Witnesses told detectives that the man obsessed about Baum's disappearance and expressed his belief that a girl had been "dismembered."

The man's parents told KING 5 that their son got confused because detectives interviewed him more than a month after Baum vanished. Therefore, he apparently could not remember many specific details that far back.

Detectives say they now have no suspect or person-of-interest, but they do have a lot of leads and a girl who seemingly vanished without a trace.
