ABDUCTION BECOMING MORE LIKELY AS LINDSEY BAUM SEARCH CONTINUES
Investigators are beginning to lean towards the fact that a 10 year old McCleary girl, missing since last Friday, was abducted. Undersheriff Rick Scott says the more time goes by and the more leads are investigated, the less likely it becomes that Lindsey Baum ran away or is playing a prank on her family. Scott says investigators continue to scour the East County town for information, but have not turned up any facts that would lead them to Lindsey. Scott says it is possible that a McCleary resident may unknowingly be a neighbor, friend or family member of someone involved in Lindsey’s disappearance. With that in mind, the Sheriff’s office is asking people to report any odd changes in behavior. That could include selling a vehicle, changes in mood, dropping out of sight or other changes in attitude or habits. As always anyone with any information is asked to contact the authorities. Lindsey is described as a white female, 4’9” tall with brown hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing a light colored hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and black shoes. Anyone with any information or who may have seen something suspicious in McCleary between 8:30 and 10PM on Friday night is asked to call 866-915-8299 or e-mail soadmin@co.grays-harbor.wa.us.
