UPDATE I: Search for Missing Lindsey Baum enters Second Day
As the search for a missing 10-year-old girl stretched into its second day in this small mill town, police and family are beginning to fear she may have been kidnapped.
10 year old Lindsey Baum Missing
Lindsey J. Baum was last seen between 9 and 10 p.m. Friday when she left her friend’s home on Maple Street, where she had been visiting, said Dave Pimentel of the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office.
The police are hesitant to refer to the missing girl’s disappearance a case of foul play; however, the more time goes by, the greater the possibility.
The search was resumed Sunday at 6 a.m., but so far with the same futile result as the day before.
Police are hesitant to call the girl’s disappearance a case of foul play just yet, but the girl’s family fears the worst.
“I’ve tried to keep the thought of somebody grabbing her out of my mind,” says her mother, Melissa Baum.
Search on for missing McCleary girl
Melissa Baum said Lindsey wasn’t angry Friday night, and left without money, a change of clothes or her cellphone. Police have searched for the girl in the homes of her friends, in case she had been “hiding out.”
“She wouldn’t have run away,” Baum said, her voice hoarse. “If she had been hiding she would have come out by now. She can’t hide that long, she loves to talk.”

UPDATE II: FBI Joins the Search for Missing Lindsey Baum
The FBI has now joined the investigation and search for missing 10 yea old Lindsey Baum. At this point between the short walk between her home and her friends house and the fact that the community was so small, it is hard to believe that Lindsey did not know her abductor.
The FBI has joined the search for a 10-year-old girl who vanished Friday while walking home from a friend’s house in this small mill town.
Officials said the federal crime-busting bureau was brought in because of its expertise and experience in solving missing children cases. The FBI also will be bringing in more law enforcement personnel to assist.
As the search for 10-year-old Lindsey J. Baum stretched into its second day Sunday, police and family – along with the whole town – are baffled and concerned at the girl’s disappearance in a town where everyone knows their neighbors.
