“Every day that goes by is just agony”

Lindsey Baum’s mother says she doesn’t know how she still gets up in the morning, except for the steadfast belief that her 11-year-old daughter will come home soon.
“It gets worse and worse every day that goes by,” Melissa Baum said. “I still feel in my heart that I know she’s alive, but every day that goes by is just agony.”
Scott Baum, a member of the Tennessee National Guard now in McCleary to help the search, said he longs to see his outgoing, talkative little girl and wants her home.
“Whoever has her, I’m sure she’s talking their ear off,” he said. “I miss talking to her on the phone. I miss seeing her.”
Investigators have been following tips and leads, he said, while also searching hundreds of Web sites that might provide a clue on Lindsey’s disappearance.
“The volume of information we have to work with is huge to say the least,” Scott said. “We’re just trying to pore through that to find the piece that’s going to bring Lindsey home.”
Scott Baum briefly discussed his plans to return to Tennessee soon, saying he still faces a possible deployment to Iraq, but may be able to remain in the country while the search continues. Members of his unit and other National Guard members have contacted him to offer support.
Either way, he said he must return to Tennessee to deal with personal responsibilities and affairs. He said he will still be available to investigators to offer any help he can.
“I’ve got stuff going on in Tennessee,” he said. “I can’t just drop everything and search, I wish that I could.”
Lindsey Baum’s parents, Scott and Melissa Baum, speak with reporters outside the McCleary Police Station as the search for their 11-year-old daughter nears the three-week mark. Grays Harbor Undersheriff Rick Scott stands to the right.
