Sheriffs office says theres no truth to Baum case rumors
The Grays Harbor Sheriffs Office says rumors of a break in the Lindsey Baum case, involving a missing McCleary girl, are false.
Baum vanished on June 26 just 10 days before her 11th birthday while walking a few blocks from her home.
Undersheriff Rick Scott said Friday that he had fielded media calls all day asking him about alleged warrants and arrests.
Scott said someone was contacting media outlets anonymously with bogus tips. Reporters and community members called the Sheriffs Office all day to ask about the rumors.
About the only thing true is that Im burning up the minutes on my cell phone, Scott said.
Scott said no one has filed any police reports and there is nothing legally the Sheriffs Office can do about the false reports.
The brown-haired 4-foot-9 girl was wearing a light blue hooded shirt and blue jeans when she went missing. Authorities believe she is the victim of an abduction.
Anyone with any credible information about the whereabouts of Lindsey Baum is encouraged to come forward. Tips can be made by phone at 1-866-915-8299 or e-mail at soadmin@co.grays-harbor.wa.us. They may also be mailed to PO Box 305 McCleary, 98557.
