Keeping Lindsey in my prayers to come home safe. Never loose hope. She’s out there looking up at the same stars you are waiting to see her family. Keep faith and strength and I wish your family the best of luck!!!
You and your family are in my prayers. Keep FAITH…When I was 3 I was kidnapped from the front yard of our home in California and in my 30s I was reunited with my family, miracles do happen. My kidnapper facing life without the chance of parole. He was arrested when I was 16. So please what ever you do- DON’T GIVE UP, as one day it could be her seeing this. I will be posting your video where it is looking for vehicle owners and people in the video, and I and my daughters will keep her in our prayers daily.
hello. I remember meeting the mother at the toy run in lacey and recieving the info card. every time i hear about a child gone missing or any other type of wicked thing a person does or even witness it. i get very frustrated because of how this world is geting eviler and eviler. and the news about your child breaks my heart. remember that the fauther knows how you feel and it upsets him too. “fauther i ask that you would choose somebody or a group of people too be sent out for her rescue. lord would you send and angel in a dream to someone as you did with the profits. teling that person where this girl is at, how you will lead them, how you will prepare them, so on and so forth. or some one to profesy in your name to another that God chose them for her rescue, or in any many other ways god, acording to your will. lord may you be Glorified in this.not our will but your will be done. in Jesus Christ’s mighty name amen.”may the grace of god give you peace and joy and hope all the days of your lifes.
It breaks my heart that Lindsay has not been found. I raised my children in that area becaus I felt it was a safe place for my kids to grow up, I have to have hope that who ever took her makes a big mistake and gets caught (I hope soon) This small town will never forget or quit looking for her.
Everytime I see your picture on the news my heart swells up with hurt for your family, I cant help but cry. I pray you will return home very soon. I pray that whoever knows what happened or had taken Lindsey will step forward and take responsibilty for all pain and heartache they caused and are still causing. Im not the best writer, im not a tweeter or anything of that sort, just another mother wanting to give her thoughts and prayers to a family and a little girl that did not deserve to have such pain put on their shoulders. My family sends their love and prayers. Love, Family of 7 from Lakebay, WA-Also I have been through McCleary on many occasions, someone has to know something, someone has to of seen something, Its such a small town. I pray they come forward.
My heart hurts for her and her family, I pray for Kyron Horman, Baby Lisa and little Sky daily, I will add Lindsey now again. I did in the past but over time, ive slacked as soon as the media lets go of these kids im afraid alot of people do the “out of sight, out of mind” thing like i am so guilty of. I added her page to my face book and passed on her info to my friends , We need to keep these precious children in the public. Heartfelt prayers for Lindsey and her family and friends and all the other missing out there. Don’t ever give up hope, miracles happen!
even though i am not a mother this still breaks my heart … as a child i was taken from my family not like this but i was taken from my family just the same .. and i know that not a day went by that i didnt think about my family and how they were doing … Father God i lift lyndsey and der family up to you lord i ask that you bring this girl back to her family lord the pain that i feel when i hear her name is more then i can bear and i cant begin to amagin how her family must feel .. Papa God please i beg you to bring this family back their little GIrl
I keep coming to your web site Lindsey. I won’t give up hope that you will somehow get back home. One of these days I’ll click on this page and read the news that you’re back in your mama’s arms. You’re always in my prayers.
Lindsey and Family,
I still pray for your safe return everyday. May god be with you all, and Lindsey wherever she may be.
Come home soon.
Being a Mom and having “lost” Megan (not the same way as Lindsey) my heart breaks for her family & friends. It’s hard enough to know that your child will never come home, that you will never again hear the words “I Love You Mom”, that you will never hold them again. But imagine that you have no clue where your child is … cold?…hungry?… alive?…dead?……. It’s time to bring Lindsey home
My heart goes out to you for the pain you have suffered in not knowing where your baby is.I look here as often as possible to see if there has been any changes. I grew up in Shelton and my sisters best friend Monique went missing in December 1987. I know the pain this causes. I will never forget! I will always keep you in my prayers. God be with you and your precious little girl.
Hi I am listing Lindseys case on my facebook page for missing persons. I am so sorry for your sadness and hope Lindsey will be brought home. May God bless you.
Cynthia Gilbert Brown
To your parents I hope you never give up.never let her memory go.never stop looking.I lost my daughter to an asthma attack she was only 17. My heart gos out to you all.I truly hope she comes home.I truly hope you find her to finally get piece.if I could for just one moment I’d wrap my arms around you and take some of that pain away.I hope when you look up at the stares that she sees the same star and wants to find her way home.take care.ill always be looking for her.
I am so very sorry that you aren’t home yet Lindsey. I have 4 boys and I am so afraid to let them out the door. It is a scary world and I hope and pray to God that you make it home safely soon.
My heart goes out to your family and their daily struggle. Sometimes we forget what’s important. Thinking of you reminds me of what is important, my boys. Every time I look at them, I will say a little prayer for you. Please “Come Home Soon!”
Dear baum family i hope you find Lindsey soon
I think of Lindsey’s parents often and pray for you that you have the strength to get through another day. You have the love and hope of thousands of parents behind you. I hope today will be a more bearable day for you and that you get some news soon that your little girl is coming home safely.
I live in McCleary and it surprises me how many parents stil let their young kids out until almost eleven. I’m praying for lindsey.
Lindsy, You will never be forgotten I know that you will find your way home don’t loose faith!
I can’t imagine the pain that Her mother and her father and other sibling has gone through!
I just want to let you know that I have not forgot about you you can make it home!!
You will always be in my thoughts Lindsey. I hope you are at peace angel x
May Lindsey get home safe and sound. Don’t give up hope.
You are in my prayers.
God bless Lindsey Baum and her freinds and family. Let’s bring her home. You are in our hearts and memories forever. God, please help her home, and whoever took her bring to justice. Lindsey, I’ll help in the search. God bless you.
I’m sick and tired of this crime. Let’s find her. I’ll help. I posted onfo about her on Facebook, and and said she’s missing. I have a picture of her and some info. I also saw that Vaished episode with my grandma. That episode inspired me. GOD BLESS LINDSEY J0 BAUM AND HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY!! DEAR LORD, BRING HER HOME.
I just watched the Beth Holloway show where Lindsey was profiled. I cannot believe I haven’t heard anything about this case until now, this is absurd how more wasn’t done earlier. I cannot imagine how the parents feel. I have a 10 year old girl and I just cried as I watched the show, and it takes a lot for me because I watched AMW and other cold case type shows often. This case pulled at my heart strings. I pray she returns home safely.
Thank you Angela and I can assure you that I wish every day, since that day, that I’d walked her home too.
I just watched Lindsey’s story on Vanished with Beth Holloway. My heart really breaks for her parents and brother. I hope the brother does not still blame himself. I wish the mother of the friend had walked home with her at that time. I live in Michigan and I will look at every little girl that passes me just to put my 2 cents in. God Bless you Baum family.
Morning I was just checking in to see if there was anything new about Lindsey. I was living in Washington and participated in one of the search days. I am now living in Las Vegas and check your sight often but this morning I wanted to say you and Lindsey are in my prayers and thoughts always. Tabitha
Just finished watching Lindsey’s story on Vanished. My thoughts & prayers are with the family. May our dear Lord Jesus watch over Lindsey. GOD BLESS.
Praying for Lindsey and the family. I hope for a safe return! I will always pray for you! Love always!

I am a mother of 2 and could never imagine this nightmare. I was just wondering…Has anyone tried a psychic? I know it may sound weird and some dont believe in it. Ive seen a lot of good outcomes and you never know what could happen. what do you have to lose? Your family is in my prayers!
I just about this on TV with Beth Holloway’s show. I’m in tears now, and my thoughts are with you. God bless.
Darling Lindsey…..you know that name because I speak to you every day. Where are you? You are so missed. I look for you everywhere I go. Store personnel sometimes see me searching and ask if they can help me find something. I openly tell them I am not looking for ‘something’, but am looking for the darling girl missing from McCleary, WA on June 26, 2009, Lindsey Baum. Most don’t get it, don’t know, or don’t care. But I DO!
There isn’t a day I don’t yearn for your safe return, and pray to God for you and your family.
I hope lindsey is found someday. Its been way to long who ever has lindsey please bring her back home to her family they miss her. And god be with lindsey and lead her back home to her family. I’m praying every day for this girls safe return. Its crazy how the world is today there are alot of bad people out there. I just hope she is found. Its a terrible thing that happend to her i’m sad about it but i pray every day. Stay strong lindsey god will lead you back to your family.
Just wanted to let you know people still care about your little girl, put story on my facebook page asking all I know to repost and share info…hope shes back home soon..
Dear Lindsey,
God is watching over you, and you will be back home with your family soon. We serve an AWESOME GOD, who said “ask and you shall receive.” I’m asking my heavenly father for your safe return and I know he will answer. He’s an on time God!
Love -n- Prayers
Tracy
Saw lindsey’s story on facebook tonight (thru her friends home she was at’s aunt) it makes me sick bringing children into this world (I’m due with my 3rd in 5 weeks) knowing what kind of monsters are out there, that a beautiful child can’t even walk home without the fear of not making it. _o the families and friends of lindsey…. gone but not forgotton… even in this dark work we must have hope!
Happy birthday Lindsey. I sure hope you find your way home today. I pray for your safety everyday. For her family I cannot imagine what you are going through. Prayers are with you as well.
Please God keep your warm loving arms around this little angel and let her know shes not alone. Lindsey We have not gave up on you we still holding hope and praying everyday that you come home safely I pray not only for you but your family that their staying strong God be with this family keep them in your love and embrass to know they are not alone you have them in your arms
My heart aches for this little girl and her family. I pray that she is found safe. Looking at this sweet little girl’s photo I saw my own daughter’s face. I admire the strength of her family, because I don’t think I could hold up in similar circumstances.
Whoever took this little girl will meet our maker one day, and will be held accountable for the pain he/she caused.
Lindsey, if you’re out there and ever get a chance to read these. Stay strong. Your family loves you, and a world of complete strangers are praying for your safety.
I am very sadden to hear this tragedy. I hope Lindsey returns home safe someday soon. My thoughts and prayers are with her and your family.
Happy Birthday Lindsey. We have not forgotten. Thoughts and prayers surround you.
Happy Birthday Lindsay! It seems that happy isn’t the best way to describe it but today is your birthday. I hope that you will be able, some day soon, to celebrate birthdays with your family! You are not forgotten. You and your family remain in my thoughts!
Happy Birthday Lindsey, we love and miss you.
Hope you find your daughter. You may want to look at this website link as an option to consider in your search.

Lindsey , I hope you can find your way back home…I hope you can bring yourself to keep fighting knowing everyone is looking for you…You have friends and family looking and they will never give up..I know i don’t know you but because of your story and many others I hold my daughter closer…I hope they find you soon so you may be safe and with people who love you…My thoughts and prayers go out to Lindsey and her friends and family , may you find her safe…
Its nice to see that everybody still has hope. No one is going to give up lindsey. I hope too see you home with your family soon. Youll always be in my prayers.
Thoughts and prayers from Cleveland, Oh. Lindsey continues to be in the hearts of many. May her family have resolution and peace, especially her mother.
KEEP PRAYING THIS LITTLE ANGEL WILL RETURN .KEEP FIGHTING AND KEEP THE HOPE.
I really hope Lindsey is eventually found safe and sound. I echo the previous comments that this case has not gotten much media coverage, especially where I live in AZ. She could be anywhere if she is a victim of trafficking.
I think of Lindsey often as I keep up with certain cases on the Nancy Grace show. I have 4 girls myself and couldn’t fathom going through this. Please don’t lose hope and I pray for her safety and a light at the end of this tunnel- God answers prayer! Keep the faith! <3
hey i hope that u find lindsey god be with her in every move and i pray that u find her. WE LOVE U LINDSEY
Lindsey, you are in my thoughts and prayers…..along with your family. I pray that you return home so you can sighn your buddies yearbooks before the year is up….much love…
Lindsey and Family!
I was also checking in to see if any new evidence had been found in the hopes to find Lindsey. I dont know her or your family but for some reason Lindsey’s story really has stuck with me over this time she has been gone. My prayers and hopes go to Lindsey and her family, one day sweet girl you will come home.

Lindsey, you have been in my thoughts since your disappearance, and also I pray for continued strength for Lindsey’s mom! Never lose hope. Sweet Lindsey, I pray you are home safe soon.
Wow almost two years i cant believe it, for some reason this lil girl really stuck with me, still think about her often……Praying for her to be found!!!!!!!!!
I’m sorry for everything your family is going through. God Bless your family and praying for her everynight.
In McCleary, WA today faded red bows tied to a baseball field fence. Spent time picking up little red ribbons and retying them to the fence so you could read the name Lindsey that was spelled out in red. Prayers.
I was checking up to see if she was found already by today, and I guess not but you see I haven’t give up yet and I will keep earning my prayers as best as I can until God Gives Us All that Request-Favor.
God Does Answers a lot of my Prayers, so despite the difficulties of perfectly earning those prayers as I did many times before and but I’m not finish yet, she will be found still alive and relatively well, I believe that not only as a fact but the Truth That Is Jesus Himself.
For Elizabeth Smart I said to God that I would be 280 straight days with no reproach and that I wanted her found at any giving time but certainly by then, of course that did’nt go to well and the night before she was found I said okay so tomorrow it’s the 280th day that she will be missing, I don’t have those 280 straight days but in the last year of 365 days I do have 280 days so make it so that she is found tomorrow, and well that is what happened!
So I’m really there for all that wants Lindsey found!!!!!!
Your Friend

Still thinking of you, Lindsey<3
lindsey, i hope you will be found and i hpoe the demented person who took you will rot in hell. You don’t deserve to be kidnapped, no one does.
Dear God – In Your Son’s Name Jesus – Our Lord and Savior – Just Make Sure That Lindsey Baum Is Found For Tuesday March 22, 2011. Thank You!
I am praying fon Lindsey, she is on my website as well.I only wish I could do more. God bless the little children. and watch and keep Lindsey safe.
I try & repost her message everyday.
I think of Lindsey & her family & repeat my unspoken prayers daily.
I’m on a fixed income & am disabled so not much more that I can do personally- but I believe that God answers prayers
God Bless you & stay strong…
Was any effort made to find that white truck with what looked like it had a large animal cage in the truck bed. That truck never stopped.
Per the Nancy Grace Show on 03/15/11 it sure seems like a abduction scenario unfortunately. Hopefully somebody out there calls the FBI or police with information on this case.
As a person far removed from Washington State I wish the family gets an answer about their missing daughter. Do not give up.
why didn’t this hit the national news like caylee anthony , haley cummings the zarah baker? i live in ny and just heard about it through the nancy grace show on the missing person show she is doing.
to lindsey’s family…. i will be praying for you. being a grandmother myself to a 9 year old… my heart goes out to you.
I can’t even imagine the heartache you are going through.
I will pray that the monster who took your daughter will be found and pay for all he/she has done to your precious little girl by first our court system and then to spend eternity in hell. I think all child molesters and abusers need only one thing…. death to their demented minds so they can never hurt another child again.

I am Praying, Asking & Pleading to City of McCleary to keep up billboards of our Precious little Lindsey. She is in the hearts of everyone as is her family. I have family & friends in McCleary & they all care. More than 1 billboard would be beneficial. Her Hometown(the town she loved) needs to keep her fresh in everyones minds. Please McCleary help bring back your beautiful, vivacious & loving little girl.
My prayers are with everyone & Everyone cares.
Prayerfully,
