Living with Unsolved Mystery
Here are some coping skills that are working for me in the face of our community unsolved mystery - the disappearance of Lindsey Baum:
- I cooperate fully with law enforcement and encourage others to do the same. This way I know I am doing the best I can. Tips all need to be passed on to the authorities, then we can let them do their job, we never know what piece of information could be a valuable piece of the overall puzzle.
- I help keep her story alive in the public. Lots of folks don't know about this case.
- I know the authorities are working diligently and I pass this fact on.
- I learn about other missing children.
- I take good care of myself. I personally have to steer clear of violent television shows and movies. I find healthy distractions. I keep hope alive - some day some way we will know. Where is Lindsey Baum?

Today
Montesano, WA - Search warrants served in Grays Harbor County this morning related to an ongoing Drug Enforcement Agency investigation. County Undersheriff Rick Scott confirmed that the Grays Harbor Drug Task Force and Sheriff's Office assisted DEA agents in serving two search warrants, one in West county and another in East county, as part of an interstate investigation. Scott said today's activity was in no way related to yesterday's missing persons investigation in McCleary.

Beautiful Autumn Day
Warm and sunny, gorgeous weather today. On my walk around town I saw city hydrants being flushed, residents doing various home repairs, and plenty of clear blue sky.
I know the weather will change soon enough so I'm grateful for the sun while we have it.
Another thing I am grateful for is everyone working so diligently on finding Lindsey Baum.

Year in McCleary
I appreciate the peace and quiet. I can hear songbirds and the hum of the Simpson Door plant. The sound of songbirds lifts my spirits and the sound of the door plant means jobs.
I'm impressed with everyone who works so hard to keep the city going.
I admire the casual courtesy shown here: people open doors for one another, businesses work to be friendly and helpful.
We have great air quality and good enough water. The drive to and from Olympia/I-5 is beautiful. Grays Harbor Transit helps keep us transported.
McCleary is a comfortable town for strolling around, dress weather appropriate and you are all set. I love seeing people out for runs and walks.
I like that we all remain aware of the need to solve Lindsey Baum's disappearance and that dedicated, skilled investigators continue their work.
