MCCLEARY, Wash. (AP) — Taking advantage of a last opportunity before a missing girl’s mother moves, FBI agents have returned to Lindsey Baum’s home in McCleary, Wash., to conduct a new search. Grays Harbor County Undersheriff Rick Scott says forensic experts are taking samples of carpeting, furniture, hair strands, car materials and anything else that might help them.
Scott said Friday the 10-year-old girl’s home has been searched at least three times before. But an outside review of the investigation suggested another sweep of the home be made by crime scene specialists and an FBI team was available.
Scott says there is no new evidence but the girl’s mother, Melissa Baum, is moving out of McCleary soon. He says there are no suspects.
The undersheriff says the girl’s room has been preserved untouched since the evening of June 26, when she vanished while walking home from a friend’s residence.
