CommentsA detective’s affidavit indicates he believes a missing 11-year-old McCleary girl was kidnapped and sheds light on why Grays Harbor County sheriff’s officers recently served search warrants on properties linked to a McCleary man.
The affidavit filed in District Court says the man’s conflicting stories about his whereabouts on the night Lindsey Baum disappeared were among the factors that led to issuance of the search warrants.
According to the document, the man also made a disturbing statement to a friend the day after Baum disappeared, saying he could not believe a girl had been “taken and cut up and dismembered.” The detective noted that investigators didn’t believe the girl was a crime victim until the week after her disappearance.
The man’s family said authorities found nothing of significance during the searches because the man is innocent. The Sheriff’s Office is not identifying the man.
Lindsey Baum disappeared the night of June 26 while walking home from a friend’s house.
