Remains of missing 10-year-old girl discovered by hunters after her disappearance

In this episode of Crime Watch Daily Updates: Lindsey Baum was less than two weeks shy of her 11th birthday when she disappeared while walking home from her friend’s house on June 26, 2009. Her mother called 911, which kicked off an extensive search for the little girl.

Over the course of the investigation, detectives identified 40 persons of interest, but no arrests were ever made.

A major break in the case occurred in 2017 when some hunters discovered a piece of a skull in a remote area of eastern Washington, and in May 2018, the remains were positively identified as Lindsey.

Lindsey’s family and the Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office continue to search for answers regarding her disappearance and death. The FBI is even offering up to $15,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the person or persons connected to the crime.

Let’s look back at the case of a young girl whose short walk home turned into a lifetime of grieving and sadness for her family.
