MCCLEARY, Wash. (AP) — Prisoners are helping police in the search for a missing girl in McCleary.

The FBI says inmates from the Cedar Creek Corrections Center are removing dense vegetation this week so investigators can search the ground.

Superintendent Douglas Cole says inmates are genuinely interested in helping solve the case.

Lindsey Baum was 10 years old when she went missing June 26, 2009, while walking home from a friend’s house.

Inmates also helped clear brush last summer. They earn .75 cent an hour for the work.
