McCLEARY, Wash. - Grays Harbor County investigators want to speak with two men seen on surveillance video the night a girl vanished in McCleary last June.
The men are not considered suspects in the disappearance of ten-year-old Lindsey Baum.
Police say they were seen entering a convenience store at a Shell station near the spot where Baum was last seen walking home from a friend's house June 26, 2009.
Investigators believe one of the men was driving a white Honda Ridgeline pickup truck.
Grays Harbor Undersheriff Rick Scott said investigators consider the men potential witnesses.
"Perhaps something they saw that's important to us was meaningless to them," said Scott.
Tracking down people like the two men is the main focus of the renewed effort in McCleary to figure out what happened to Lindsey Baum.
"Until we recreate that moment in time we're not going to know exactly who was out and about and which person… it could be this gentleman here who has that one piece of information that's going to solve this mystery," said Scott.
Investigators are well aware that the two men, if they can be found, may not help the case one bit, but they want to be sure. And while the video is 10 months old, it's relatively new to them. They're blaming the delay on technical problems and a language barrier with the owner of the Shell station.
