After a decade, knowing didn’t bring relief McCleary remembers Lindsey with memorial
Melissa Baum still seeks answers about her daughter’s death By Dan Hammock Grays Harbor News Group
Ericka Corban performs June 26 at the Lindsey Baum remembrance garden dedication at Beerbower Park in McCleary. At left is the butterfly bench purchased by an anonymous donor.
Melissa Baum wears a silver necklace holding a small silver pendant with a ruby. Contained within the pendant are half the remains of her daughter, Lindsey. It’s been 10 years since Lindsey disappeared during a 10-minute walk to her home in McCleary on a hot summer evening June 26, 2009. It’s been a little more than a year since Melissa Baum was told her daughter’s partial remains had been found hundreds of miles away in the middle of the state and she knew for sure her daughter had been murdered. During the decade that followed her daughter’s disappearance, Melissa has seen her daughter’s friends grow up, graduate from high school, go to college, marry, have children of their own. Melissa has only the memories of the talkative, intelligent, strong-willed girl, frozen in time at the age of 10. “I’m finally to a point where I’m able to reminisce about her,” said Baum. “I have lots of memories that I’m grateful for.” For example, “She had so much energy. She talked constantly, a mile a minute.” Lindsey was friendly. “She never met a stranger,” said Melissa. She paused, then added, “I guess that should have scared me more.” Lindsey didn’t like to see another child sad or alone. She loved to talk and acted as though others shouldn’t be burdened with silence. “If she saw a kid on the playground alone, she would befriend them,” said Melissa Baum. “She couldn’t stand to see them being alone.” Lindsey could also be introspective and, while friendly, didn’t feel a need to be the center of attention most of the time. “She wouldn’t go out of her way for attention, except maybe if she was competing with her brother for my attention,” quipped Melissa.
away. “It felt a little odd, he sounded urgent, I didn’t understand,” she said, saying it normally took months to set up a meeting with investigators, and it had been more than eight years without much news to be shared. The next day Scott and an FBI victim’s advocate showed up at her door. “I knew there was more to it,” said Melissa, when she saw the raw emotion on Scott’s face. DNA testing from the FBI confirmed a portion of Lindsey’s remains had been found more than six months earlier in Eastern Washington. “Over the years, when I heard of children’s remains being recovered, I remember feeling twinges of jealousy,” said Melissa. “I felt knowing would bring some relief. It’s been the exact opposite.” Anger, rage and frustration were the result for her. Days later, at a press conference in McCleary, she spoke to the press and the community about the discovery of her daughter’s remains. She admits is still difficult for her to visit the town; she moved some time after Lindsey’s disappearance but returned, not to McCleary, but to the area. She continues to grant interviews like this one and make television appearances. As difficult as they are for her, she knows there’s always a chance the right person will see them. “It’s not over because she’s been found, not even close,” said Baum.

school children of McCleary to draw a bear for this year’s button. Twelve students submitted drawings. Two were homeschooled students and the others were from McCleary.

The 60th McCleary Bear Festival is July 12-14. Many events are planned. The theme of this year’s festival is Blast from The Past. The festival is 60 years old and is paying tribute to the longevity the fun weekend. The Bear Festival Committee asked the
“She was going on and on about it,” said her mother, Melissa. That’s something Lindsey could always do – go on and on. She was a talker. She had her opinions and let you know it. She was really into the Harry Potter series of books. Lindsey and Melissa were binging on the series as they prepared to see the sixth movie installment, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” Lindsey’s birthday was July 7. The new Harry Potter movie was to hit the big screen a week later. Lindsey would see neither. Friday, June 26, 2009, wasn’t all that different from most other days faced by single mother Melissa Baum. School had been out for a week, and Melissa had her hands full with a full-time job, a maturefor-her-age, energetic 10-year-old daughter and a son, Josh, who had a variety of special needs. What was unusual that day was the heat. But that Friday, Lindsey and a group of eight or so friends were doing their best to stay cool at a friend’s pool party. As the pool party wound down later in the day, Melissa said Lindsey, a friend and Josh came back to the Baum home in the 400 block of East Mommsen Street. The kids played for a bit in the yard, and Lindsey asked if her friend could spend the night, as she had the night before. An exhausted Melissa said no, but said Lindsey, the friend and Josh could head to the friend’s home to see about a sleepover there. “I remember the time was 9:15 p.m. It was one of the longest days of the year See BAUM, Page A4
elephant ears, crepes, mini-donuts, hot dogs). The vendors and food carts will be open all weekend. T-shirts and sweatshirts to commemorate the Blast from the Past will be available, as will the McCleary T-shirts. Not just T-shirts, but you can get sweatshirts and tank tops with the McCleary logo on them. And as an added bonus, the McCleary Clinic will be having a health fair in their parking lot on Saturday after the parade. For more information, go to mcclearybearfestival.org.

As lighting flashed and thunder roared Wednesday evening in the skies over McCleary, Melissa Baum spoke to dozens of candle-holding community members. “It’s been a long 10 years,” she said, since her daughter, Lindsey, was abducted and murdered on that day a decade before. The community had gathered to dedicate a remembrance garden for Lindsey at Beerbower Park. While Lindsey’s killer has not been caught, Baum said, the dedication was not about the investigation. She said the garden was a place where Lindsey’s “spirit could be felt, her laughter be heard.” Local singer/songwriter Ericka Corban opened the dedication with a rendition of “Over the Rainbow,” then turned the microphone over to Michelle Ames, who spearheaded the effort to make the garden a reality. Ames thanked the dozens of volunteers and many local businesses that helped with the garden, then introduced Grays Harbor County Sheriff Rick Scott, who has been with the investigation into Lindsey’s abduction and murder since she first disappeared June 26, 2009, on a 10-minute walk home from a friend’s house to her own, not far from where her garden now stands. Scott recognized the agencies working with the Sheriff’s Office on the case, including the FBI, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and, since Lindsey’s remains were found in remote country in Central Washington in fall 2017, the Kittitas County Sheriff’s Office. “We’ve worked seamlessly together,” Scott said. “We’ve put tens of thousands of hours (into the investigation) and will keep at it until we bring this case to a close. “And we will bring it to close,” Scott said. Corban returned and performed “See You Again,” a song that Melissa Baum told Corban “has gotten her through some dark times over the last decade.”
Inmate escapes jail in trash can An inmate at the Grays Harbor County jail in Montesano crawled into a trash can Wednesday, was taken outside by another inmate and walked away, the Sheriff’s Office said Thursday. James Bartholomew, who is from Hoquiam, was about to enter a plea to drug and weapon offenses and faced a lengthy prison sentence, a release states. An arrest warrant has been issued for Bartholomew for second degree escape. Bartholomew, 40, is 5 feet, 10 inches tall, 147 pounds with hazel eyes and brown hair. People who see him should not approach or contact him, but they should call 911 to report his location. “If anyone has information on his possible whereabouts you can call the dispatch non-emergency number 360-533-8765 or you can contact Detective Jeremy Holmes at 360-249-3711,” the release states. “Anyone who harbors or helps Bartholomew could face criminal charges.” Bartholomew was a kitchen trustee. With the help of another trustee, he was taken from the jail in a garbage can and set outside the jail, where walked away.

So as the light was fading shortly before 10 p.m. and Lindsey had not returned home, Melissa knew something was wrong. She began calling Lindsey’s cell phone. “I had no idea she left her cell phone in her room,” said Melissa. She said the first dozen calls that went to voice mail had her frustrated, if not irritated. She wondered if her strongwilled girl was upset about
something and was just ignoring her mother’s calls. “Come on Lindsey, this is why I pay for your cell phone.” Concern grew to fear as darkness fell. Melissa and others searched the neighborhood, checking out Lindsey’s usual routes to her friend’s home. Nothing. It was time to call the McCleary Police Department. Their response was swift. “By the time I called them I had called everyone on her friends’ phone list,” said Melissa. Night turned to day, still no Lindsey. The Grays

disappearance. Winquist said there was talk around town of the “feral kids” in the Baum household, allowed to come and go as they pleased. As the days turned to months, then years, Melissa coped as best she could. She and the kids had moved from Tennessee less than two years before Lindsey disappeared. They landed in Olympia, where Melissa worked. Money was tight and Melissa found a house in McCleary, where the kids could go to school. “It felt safer than OlymEast County News pia,” said Melissa. Between the kids, the job and the commute, Melissa didn’t have a lot of time to socialize and never was able to make many connections in her new town. After the disappearance, Melissa felt a bit trapped. “I was afraid to leave but I couldn’t stay,” said Melissa Baum. “What if she came back home and I wasn’t there? I was afraid to leave town.” She said she was unable to return to work. She left the area. Josh went to live with his dad in Tennessee. She has since returned to the area, is working again, but still finds it difficult to go back to McCleary. There’s a $45,000 reward for the tip that leads to the arrest and conviction of Lindsey Baum’s killer. Call the confidential tip line at 360-964-1799 or email baumtips@co.graysharbor.wa.us.

Harbor County Sheriff ’s Office was called in, and within a short time, the FBI was involved. Everyone agreed, there is no way this little girl is hiding. Something terrible has happened. But nobody knew, or dared to guess, what. “It didn’t seem real, like it was a bad dream,” said Melissa 10 years later. The McCleary community was out in force during the early search. Helicopters buzzed the town, media from all over descended on the town, search and rescue volunteers, search dogs, hundreds of law enforcement personnel, everyone was looking for Lindsey. Then, as happens in small towns in particular, the rumors started. Josh and his sister had a little dust-up about a bicycle somewhere along the route to the friend’s house. Could the mother be covering for the son? Spats between brother and sister aren’t uncommon, the minor one that happened to occur that day was nothing more and was quickly dismissed by investigators. “There was one rumor for some reason that I had a garage sale and sold all her stuff,” said Melissa Baum. “No, I kept it all.” Private investigator Rose Winquist, who officially took a role in the investigation about a year ago, said Melissa had to face a lot of scrutiny during the months after Lindsey’s
