Lindsey Baum Hotline 1-866-915-8299

The search for Lindsey Baum, a 10 year old girl from McCleary Washington, missing since Friday night June 26th, is now national, you can find quite a few articles and news videos online. I just want to pass on a few items.

There is now a dedicated hotline 1-866-915-8299. We are asked to watch for the following signs:

 

Scott suggested that one or more of the following warning signs might raise a red flag and should result in a call to police:

• Someone suddenly changing his or her physical appearance, such as cutting or dyeing hair or shaving a mustache or beard.

• Someone suddenly getting rid of a car.

• An unexplained or out-of-character absence from work.

• Unexplained cuts or bruises to the face or arms.

• Someone picking up or resuming bad habits such as smoking or drinking, or changes in mood, such as being depressed or irritable for no apparent reason.

From a KOMO report:
"We're certainly not looking for a witch hunt or anything of that sort, but the bottom line is we have a missing girl. And so anyone who is in this area is going to be someone we want to talk to," said Ron Twersky, FBI assistant special agent in charge.

The Daily World is doing a great job in covering this story. Latest is Waiting for a call of hope.

Did you happen to drive through McCleary last Friday night June 26th around 9 - 10 pm? If so, please contact law enforcement, they are working on putting together a snapshot of events that night.

Thurston county local citizens can help

Submitted by Sarah on Sun, 07/05/2009 - 5:54am.
Scott said law enforcement officials will be spending the rest of the weekend continuing to go back over interviews that have already been conducted to see if any would warrant follow-up questions. He said the next steps would be expanding efforts into areas beyond McCleary and into Thurston County by enlisting the help of local citizens.
“It gets harder the further out you go to search outlying areas,” Scott said. “We’re asking private landowners or anyone who knows those areas well to search on their own properties and neighborhoods and to call us if they find anything unusual.”
Community remains hopeful

Update

The rains are providing bloodhounds with a second chance. On my drive home it looks like the ORV Park has a good number of search and rescue vehicles. And even here in town I saw a fellow with a bloodhound near the school.

Part of Lindsey's route on Maple Street is visible from my front window. Sarah suggested I turn on my porch light at night as a symbol to help light the way for that little girl to come home.

Lindsey's father, who is about to be deployed to Iraq, came here from Tennessee. Seems to me the Army could cut the guy a break and at least station him at Ft. Lewis until this case is solved. 

Heartbreaking.

I've been thinking about this. I hope they find Lindsey soon. It's spooky, and so, so sad.

Today

Is the first day of the Fri-Sat-Sun McCleary Bear Festival. The parade is usually at Noon on Saturday. Although the massive search teams have gone away, the authorities are not giving up and Bear Fest participants can expect to see law enforcement personnel around and available for any tips. I'm betting practically everyone in town has called up the hotline to provide some idea or theory. That's about all most of us can do in a situation where we feel powerless.

Lindsey's father, Scott Baum, made an emotional appeal to anyone knowing her whereabouts, saying, "Please bring me my daughter home before I have to leave" for Iraq.
