When downtown this morning I noticed a large meeting at the Lindsey Baum task force bldg, quite a few people filed in.

No helicopters overhead but definitely media is in town.

To give some perspective on what this means for the town: this shop is right downtown, few blocks from where she was last seen, a house away from public library and on the other side of the public library is the post office.

McCleary is classified as rural so many homes here do not get home postal delivery, we all have to go to the post office. Both the post office and library are heavily used.

You can sit at the main restaurant here Rain Country and see the post office, library, and this jewelry shop easily. And right across the street from Rain Country is the Lindsey Baum task force office.

No one has given us that information. But we have our personal suspicions and I'm not sure if I can share that info here.

Does anyone remember this...

"someone at Hartman Jewelry said Lindsey was up to no good" ?

We discussed this here, and I found something in archives, but I am unsure of who/what/etc.

That information was told to JVK in the beginning by a "town drunk". I believe it's in the thread that JVK posted pictures of town.

Kiro reporter said the guy has no alibi but that his friends don't think he had anything to do with it.

Police search jewelry store, man's home in connection with Lindsey Baum case

5:24 pm PDT October 18, 2011
McCLEARY, Washington -- Police and federal agents searched two locations in McClearly on Tuesday in connection with missing child Lindsey Baum.

KIRO 7 South Sound Bureau Chief Richard Thompson first reported the news of the searches on his Twitter feed.

Detectives from the Grays Harbor Sheriff's Office along with agents from the FBI, officers from the Washington State Patrol, Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife and King County Sheriff's Office served search warrants at a jewelry store and the home of a man who lives in town.

The man spoke with Thompson and said he has no alibi for the time of Baum's disappearance, so police think he had something to do with it. The man said he didn't and his friends agree.

There's no way they would just search this guy's home and business because he doesn't have an alibi. There's got to be something more to it.

Not sure if this info will be removed or not, I understand if it is.

Tim has given several alibis to several people for that night.. and now, all of a sudden (after he lawyered up) he doesn't have one?

The FBI and Grays Harbor sheriff's deputies searched Hartman's Jewelry and Repair located on Fourth Street - the street on which the 10-year-old girl was last seen 28 months ago. They also searched the store owners' home just outside of town.

Deputies said they are not looking for anything specific; they said the search warrant is one in a series being served in an effort to find the missing girl.

Area residents said they are relieved to see the investigation is still active.

Mark also didn't have such a great opinion. Mark mentioned being aware Lindsey was on the internet. He generally & repeatedly came off disliking Lindsey &/or the family.

Mark added one other thing. Mark said he believes 'Eric' (who lives (according to Marks pointing) in the North-Eastern part of town) 'probably did it' (as in abducting Lindsey) Mark said Eric had conversed with him (@ an unknown time) about 'young girls.

The conversation was strange.. but you couldn't expect much else. At one point he stopped talking almost like he'd just realized he's telling all this to a stranger & briefly thought twice.

If nothing else i'd suggest an interview with persons from this ^ Jewelry shop.


I'm still confident the person i spoke to being "Mark". As far as "Peter" & Eric are concerned, it seems obvious "Peter" is Hartman. (Peter not being Hartman's his first name)

One of the first persons i attempted to talk to turned out to be Hartman.

I didn't know Hartman's name at the time but i saw him coming out of the jewelry store & started approaching him with the intent to get his ear & opinion on what may have happened.

At the time Hartman's demeanor was anything but suspicious. He was well dressed and looked professional. I couldn't tell if he was in a hurry or something, or maybe he quickly caught eye of my camera, but he wanted absolutely nothing to do with me.

I don't recall exactly what i said but it was short like "hey do you have a minute" and his response was probably not much more than "no" as he quickly walked away into the post office or library.

Anyways, as far as Hartman is concerned during that time frame that's about it for me.

I think it's reasonable to say people have had suspicions about him. Some of it obvious given the jewelry store location and some because of other context.

Based on what i know he's probably been +/-somewhat difficult to work with from a LE standpoint. Could have been digging himself in since day one.
