WA - Lindsey Baum, 10, McCleary, 26 June 2009 - #10

[Nandee63]

Welcome, Mike! Thanks for the great shots from the air. Certainly gives us non-locals a whole new perspective. :clap:

It's great to have another local on-board in the search for Lindsey. A set of fresh eyes is always beneficial. We'll be working on that to-do list for you. Thanks for offering to do some looking around when you return.

The people on WS are awesome. There are many very caring people who just want to help find Lindsey (and others).

Lindsey, baby, where are you?

I have been following Lindsey's story from the beginning and have read some of the posts in this forum(there's a lot). I had a theory about what happened but it wasn't really based on anything solid. I live about an hours drive away and have been wanting to help somehow. Last Tuesday I flew over McCleary and shot some photos I hope you will find useful. There are some of McCleary and of the road between McCleary and Porter. My original theory posited that since it was a Friday night someone was on their way to the Indian casino and their route would take them through McCleary.

Thanks for the fantastic photos from above, mike, and welcome! I'm thoroughly enjoying going through these, clear visuals of the little pool and the surrounding area as well as Maple, service station, park, bridge, everything! Amazing work! :clap::clap:

Welcome mikeb!!!!!!!


Thank you for those great pictures as well!!!! Any input or theory is welcome - you never know which idea will lead us on a direct path to locating Lindsey and bringing her home!

 

[Kimster]

Hello Mikeb!!! Love the pics! I'm so glad you joined us here at WS!!!

 

[Kimster]

Welcome to WS, Mike. The shots are great. I wasn't prepared, however, for the massive wooded areas. It would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Feel free to share your theory, even if it's not based on anything solid. As you know, about the only solid evidence we have is that Lindsey is missing.

That's just what the fellow I met yesterday told me...she is probably hidden in the woods and it could take years to find her.

Thanks for the warm welcome. My first thought was that some low life was looking for something to do on a Friday night around 930 and was heading for the casino on SR101. If that low life lived in, say, Porter, he would go through McCleary to get there. The last pictures on the page are of Porter. But after I read other's speculations mine didn't seem as plausible. A roadside "grab" even during twilight must be a rarity. I'm new.

I'm going to be gone next week but I want to spend some time down there when I get back. Start a to do list for me.

Mike

Mike, Welcome! And great shots.

I just need to make one small correction. That town is Malone, not Porter.

 

[blownaway]

the Porter pictures would be better known as the city of Malone in case you are confused by the picture titles.

EDIT.....Hey, you beat me to it . I can help if anyone has trouble reading the pictures.

 

[JenniferO]

Malone looks so much nicer from the air.

I posted this on the Twilight thread and brought over here. I was looking at this case for a few days and wonder if he was taking the girl "Kalai" to see the sites of Twilight or to meet someone else. I thought I read somewhere that they were found in Monsanto.

Deborah “Kalai” Fourzan was lured away by a "family friend" earlier this year with the promise of attending an anime convention and was found with her kidnapper on her way to the Twilight sites. Ironically, she was found in Greys Harbor in March 2009. Anyone have any info on why he would waive extradiction or who are the Mother's family friends in WA/

crmom, your links aren't working for me.

Ok, I googled. Looks to me like she went willingly.

 

[crmom]

Sorry, I'm new with posting and my computer is acting screwy. I found the inital article in The Vidette March 19, 2009. Kalia was getting sexual text messages from James Reimer(a family friend). She left with him from Okla. on Feb. 2 to attend an anime convention in CA. They were stopped in Greys Harbor in March 2009. He was sent back to Okla but seems kinds weird that she is found here and a few months later Lindsay is missing. Did he know someone or did he teach another prisoner his "tricks" while in WA.

Thanks for the post crmom, any angles or thoughts are a whole lot better than nothing, for sure. One thing that interests me in what you say is that the two of them seem to have the goal of attending a convention in CA, coming from Oklahoma, yet they ended up in Greys Harbor. All of this attempted abduction and such that seems to be happening in WA and the volume of SO's in and around the state may be pointing to some organized hanky panky in the state of Washington?

No matter what, thanks for the info and input! :clap:

 

[crmom]

Thanks, according to one article, they were headed to Forks, WA. She wanted to visit the sites in the Twilight series. I'm not sure but I read somewhere charges were pending search of his vehicle - a white sedan. He did have a shotgun in the trunk. I could not find a trial date and read the police were not sure they could charge him as a SO(no proof anything happened), no kidnapping as she apparently went voluntarily but was charged with sexting a minor??

The idea of Forks and Twilight series literature has been brought up many times in these LB threads, as well as the idea of a "white" sedan, so any further info that you can come up with as in specifics and records and even news reports would be extremely interesting, imo.

Thanks crmom

Good evening everyone...I am so troubled that we have not heard much on Lindsey.
I wish they would say something..anything.

 

[crmom]

snipped from The Shawnee News-Star... Reimer and Fourzan were traveling in the white Mercury Cougar..

crmom, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It seems kinda like a long shot, but after what happened with Elizabeth Smart, I won't rule ANYTHING out!
