Lindsey Baum: Unsolved | McCleary, WA

On the evening of June 26, 2009, ten-year-old Lindsey Baum left a friend's house in McCleary, Washington for the short walk home, but she never arrived.McCleary is the kind of town where everyone knows each other - fewer than 2,000 residents, two dozen streets, one major employer. It was exactly the kind of place Melissa Baum thought was perfect for a fresh start with her two kids after relocating post-divorce from Tennessee. It felt safe. It felt quiet. And then it didn't.What followed was a massive, multi-agency investigation - hundreds of law enforcement personnel, dozens of FBI agents, more than forty individuals drawing the attention of investigators, and years of tips that went nowhere. The case has never been solved.In this episode we walk through everything the public record shows: the night Lindsey disappeared, the investigation, the persons of interest, and what investigators are still chasing today.If you have information about Lindsey's case, contact the Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Office at 360-964-1799 or submit a tip to the FBI at tips.fbi.gov. A $40,000 reward is available for information leading to an arrest and conviction.Visit our website! Find us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Patreon, & more!
