The Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office and the FBI served search warrants Tuesday on a McCleary jewelry shop and a residence owned by the same man, in connection with Lindsey Baum’s disappearance, according to Grays Harbor Chief Deputy Dave Pimentel.

Baum was 10 when she went missing near the McCleary Police Station as she walked to her home from a friend’s on June 26, 2009.

The search warrants were served between 11 a.m. and noon, Pimentel said.

The individual who owns Hartman’s Jewelry Repair and a residence northwest of town is “one of many persons of interest we’ve had contact with over the course of this investigation, which is now in its 20th month,” Pimentel added. The man is not considered a suspect in Lindsey’s disappearance, he added.

Lindsey Baum’s mother, Melissa, said Tuesday afternoon that she was aware of the search, but unaware of what authorities were looking for.
