Fresh eyes join search for missing girl
MCCLEARY, Wash. -- It's been more than a month since Lindsey Baum disappeared while walking home from a friend's house, but investigators are not giving up.
On Tuesday, detectives from Pierce County joined the search, hoping to turn up new leads or tips in the case.
They searched homes, trash cans and crawl spaces near where Lindsey was last seen, and cadaver-sniffing dogs were also brought in to comb the area.
Everywhere you look in this small town there's a photo of Lindsey -- posted in store windows, hanging on the side of a truck parked on Main Street.
Everyone knows her name and everyone wants her to come home.
Spending time here you get the feeling the the girl's disappearance has changed the town. Instead of trading the usual neighborhood gossip, it seems all anyone talks about is what might have happened to Lindsey.
Kevin Pratt lives in McCleary and says he's always keeping his eyes open and thinking of the missing girl.
"Every time I go out in these wooded areas, any time I'm out anywhere I'm looking for anything for anything out of the ordinary."
The investigation into Lindsey's disappearance, which has involved multiple local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, has turned up nothing.
