“Credible information has been developed that there are locations in the McCleary area that may contain evidence that may assist investigators in locating Lindsey Baum,” Sgt. Steve Shumate of the Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office read from a statement Friday morning. “This activity is expected through the weekend. Due to the sensitive nature of the investigation and to reduce the risk of compromise, no further details of the current investigative activity will be released.”

The Sheriff’s Office mobile command center has returned to McCleary, Shumate added, at least through the weekend. During the past few weeks, investigators had been working from Montesano.

Some in South Sound plan to hold a candlelight vigil at 8 p.m. today at Evergreen Christian Center on Fourth Street in McCleary to mark three months since Lindsey went missing.

will be out again Saturday searching for clues in the disappearance of 11-year-old Lindsey Baum &#8211; three months to the day she vanished while walking home from a friend's house.

Friday morning, Grays Harbor Sheriff's Office investigators, along with FBI agents and members of the King County Sheriff's Office, began serving search warrants in and around the McCleary area. The warrants allow investigators a chance to thoroughly search private properties.

The family is working with community members to organize a candlelight vigil 8 p.m. Saturday.

"If she's home by then, it will be a celebration," said Melissa.

Deputies acting on &#8220;credible&#8221; tip

The Sheriff&#8217;s Office, the FBI, the King County Sheriff&#8217;s Office and other regional law enforcement agencies are serving the search warrants, Shumate said.

He said that community members may notice the increased police presence today and through the weekend.

The Sheriff&#8217;s Office mobile command center has returned to McCleary, Shumate added, at least through the weekend. During the past few weeks, investigators had been working from Montesano.

&#8220;We&#8217;re just getting started with the search warrants,&#8221; Shumate said this morning. &#8220;I wish I could say more but we can&#8217;t jeopardize the investigation.&#8221;

Supporters of Baum planned to conduct a candlelight vigil Saturday to mark three months since she went missing.

The group plans to gather at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Evergreen Christian Center on Fourth Street in McCleary to offer support and share the latest news on the search.

Investigators step up search after tip
Saturday, September 26, 2009 1:14 AM PDT
<snipped>
Investigators spent hours combing through junk cars and exploring a vacant house on a large swath of land outside McCleary city limits Friday, all in the search for more clues in the disappearance of 11-year-old Lindsey Baum.

Helicopter footage from KOMO 4 showed investigators in white protective gear entering and exiting an abandoned house south of McCleary. The home and a nearby barn or shed, covered in blue tarps, is surrounded by brush and trees in each direction.

Investigators loaded boxes full of belongings into a horse trailer that looked like it was being used for evidence.

The mobile command center was set up in a second residence surrounded by junk cars, according to the video posted online by KOMO.

KOMO 4 reported that the people living in the house on the outskirts of town were asked to leave after receiving a search warrant.

Shumate said detectives interviewed some people Friday, but declined to go into details and didn&#8217;t name anyone as a suspect or person of interest.

Grays Harbor Prosecutor Stew Menefee declined to release the search warrants to the public, but said the records will become public within five days of being executed.


Shumate said investigators spent Friday gathering small items &#8212; fibers, hair &#8212; and larger items, just about anything that could give them a hint as to where Baum could be. He declined to say why they were searching the house or junk cars, except to say that the locations &#8220;may contain evidence that may assist investigators in locating Lindsey Baum.&#8221;


The Daily World Sheriff&#8217;s Office personel talk at a road block on Foreman Road south of McCleary on Friday afternoon. The road was blocked as investigators searched a property in connection with the Lindsey Baum case.

IN McCLEARY:
Search Warrants Served For Missing Girl
September 26, 2009
<snipped>
Investigators plan to be out again today (Saturday) searching for clues in the disappearance of 11-year-old Lindsey Baum of McCleary. Approximately 50 searchers will be working through the weekend.

Friday morning, Grays Harbor Sheriff's deputies, FBI agents and members of the King County Sheriff's Office, started serving search warrants in and around the McCleary area.

It appeared investigators had reason to search specific properties in the area for the missing girl but a Grays Harbor Sheriff's Office spokesperson would only say the search warrants were a result of their "continuing investigation" and that authorities had credible information that lead to the searches.

Authorities did not say where the locations were they intended to search or if anyone was specifically being looked at as a suspect in Baum's disappearance.

Search warrants issued in Lindsey Baum case

In what could be a big break in the case of a missing 11-year-old girl, authorities executed search warrants Friday at two locations to seek evidence in the mysterious disappearance of Lindsey Baum.

The searches, both in the McCleary area, cover so much ground that agents were brought in from the FBI, along with detectives in the Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Office and King County Sheriff's Office.

Lindsey's mother says everybody is considered a suspect. "Don't trust anyone anymore - it could be anybody," she said.

Lindsey's disappearance has baffled and alarmed residents of McCleary, a small town where everyone knows their neighbors.

On Saturday night, there will be an 8 p.m. candlelight vigil in McCleary to mark the three-month anniversary of the day Lindsey Baum vanished.


This is a developing news story. More information will be posted as soon as it becomes available.

Vigil tonight for missing McCleary girl
05:03 PM PDT on Saturday, September 26, 2009
<snipped>
Detectives resumed their search Saturday for a missing 10-year-old girl at two homes in the small town of McCleary.

Grays Harbor Sheriff's deputies and the FBI searched inside the homes yesterday, and spent today searching outside. But they found nothing to lead them to Lindsey Baum.

Authorities say the search warrants are part of their continuing investigation, but they won't say whether anyone specific is being targeted.

Detectives said they had "credible information" to conduct the searches.

A candlelight vigil will be held tonight for Lindsey. Everyone is welcomed to gather at Evergreen Christian Center in McCleary, beginning at 8 p.m.

Melissa is convinced her daughter is still alive and has a message for whoever may have taken Lindsey.

"Everybody has a soul, and how can you live with yourself if you know something that's keeping a little girl from her family?" said Melissa.

No breakthroughs in Lindsey Baum disappearance
Story Published: Sep 26, 2009 at 6:00 PM PDT

Officials executed search warrants Friday at two rural properties near the small town where Lindsey Baum vanished June 26 while walking home from a friend's home. The agents continued their work at both properties on Saturday.

But as Lindsey's mother, Melissa, and other local residents waited eagerly for any news, there was no indication that the searches had turned up any evidence that could help find Lindsey or explain her disappearance.

It's been exactly three months since Lindsey went missing - an entire season has passed.

Yet a dark cloud still hangs over the town of McCleary even on a beautiful, warm fall day.

And about a mile and a half southwest of McCleary there is now a law enforcement checkpoint, where only residents can get by.

It is down this road that local and federal agents served a search warrant at a home and a nearby property on Friday, beginning an exhaustive investigation at both locations.

A team from the Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Department, the King County Sheriff's Department and the FBI has set up a mobile command post, as they comb through the house, land and even cars for potential evidence.

Officials say tips by citizens - deemed "credible information" - led them to the 11-acre property nestled in the woods.

Next weekend another all-out search is scheduled in the area, with volunteers set to help out Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

It's been exactly three months since 11-year old Lindsey Baum disappeared while walking home from a friend's house in McCleary.

The community held a vigil for Lindsey Saturday night.

Meantime, the search for Lindsey continues. On Friday the FBI and sheriff's deputies served search warrants at multiple locations near McCleary including some properties along Foreman Road.

A Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Office spokesman wouldn't give many details, but said the warrants stem from tips and following-up on leads. More warrants will be served through the weekend with the help of the FBI and King County Sheriff''s Office.
