Search on for missing McCleary girl
MCCLEARY — Police are asking the public’s assistance in locating a 10-year-old McCleary girl who did not return home Friday night from a visit with a friend.
“I just need my daughter home,” said Melissa Baum, mother of Lindsey Baum. “Lindsey, please come home, you’re not in trouble.”
Lindsey Baum was wearing a hooded sweatshirt that was either gray or blue, jeans and black sneakers, was walking from her friend’s house on Maple Street to her own home on Mommsen Road, a four-block distance, and was last seen at about 9:15 p.m., said Sgt. Ed Patrick with the Grays Harbor Sheriffs Office.
Baum’s mother called the McCleary Police Department at 10:50 p.m., having waited in case her daughter had stopped to talk to her friend or otherwise dawdled, Patrick said.

Walking home from a friends home at between 9-9:30 pm. From what I understand her and her brother who is 12 yrs would have walked home together but they had a spat while at the friends home and the brother left and went home. She was about 3 blocks from her home when she disappeared. So far they haven't spotted her in any of the vidoes around town.

That is pretty late for a 5th grader to be out walking by herself but I have to remind myself that in the little towns I don't think molesters and perverts are a reality. Horrible things don't usually happen in a really small towns so people feel safe when they should be just a cautious as we are.

This little girl has vanished into thin air. In her diary she had written...about 3 weeks ago...that she just had a feeling something bad was going to happen. Her parents are recently divorced but he is states away and has an alibi.

McCleary is a rural town with lots of woods and hills. I used to drive through it when I lived in Shelton and was going to Aberdeen. It really is just a spot in the road.

Most of my info came from Nancy Grace and Jane Valez Mitchell. I hope she is found soon.
 
There's been some movement in Lindsey's case today.

Search Warrants Served In Missing Girl Case
Posted: 11:42 am PDT September 25, 2009Updated: 12:54 pm PDT September 25, 2009

. . .

The Grays Harbor Sheriff's Office, the FBI and the King County Sheriff's Office began serving the search warrants Friday morning and planned to continue searching through the weekend.

. . .

A tip helped investigators develop information that led to the warrant, investigators told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Richard Thompson.

The search warrant includes items such as hair, fibers and clothing Lindsey was last wearing -- anything that could lead investigators to her whereabouts, officials told Thompson.

A family of four lives at the property where the warrant was served. The family is being questioned and is being cooperative.

lindsey baum: Reward now $25,000
JEREMY PAWLOSKI; Staff writer | • Published April 30, 2010

MCCLEARY – As the first anniversary of Lindsey Baum’s disappearance approaches, the Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office is stepping up its investigative efforts, Undersheriff Rick Scott announced during a news conference at the McCleary City Hall on Thursday.

Lindsey was 10 years old when she disappeared on June 26. She has not been found, and investigators think she is the victim of foul play.

At every turn, police have been stymied by a lack of evidence or clues, despite numerous massive searches of the area in and around McCleary.

DOC officers participated in an investigative surge to find Lindsey Baum who has been missing since June.

Last week dozens of law enforcement officers from federal, state and local agencies pooled their resources for an investigative surge to find clues about the disappearance of Lindsey Baum, the 11-year-old McCleary girl who has been missing since June. Department of Corrections staff members are a key part of this task force and were with Gray’s Harbor County Sheriff deputies each step of the way.

Lindsey Baum of McCleary, Grays Harbor County, has been missing for one year now, and law-enforcement agents are trying to attract more leads in what is still an active investigation.

The 10-year-old disappeared at approximately 9:30 p.m. on June 26, 2009, while walking home from a friend's house.

On Friday, the FBI distributed a video taken inside a nearby Shell Mart at around that time, in hopes of contacting a man and boy in the clip, who might have witnessed something. The mini mart is along the walking route Lindsey normally took, FBI Special Agent Fred Gutt said.

Event: Attention brought to other cases on anniversary of disappearance

Published: 06/27/1012:05 am

About 365 red balloons bearing heartfelt messages were released Saturday above Capitol Lake, a balloon for each day that an 11-year-old McCleary girl named Lindsey Baum has been missing.

Saturday’s event, Lindsey’s Day of Hope and Awareness, was a gathering to support not only Lindsey’s families but all families with missing children. Friends and family of Nancy Moyer, the Tenino woman who disappeared 15 months ago, also participated, as did Theresa Lewis of Tacoma, the mother of Teekah Lewis, who disappeared at a Tacoma arcade bowling alley in January 1999.
