Parents in custody after 5-year-old Grays Harbor County child goes missing​

The parents of a missing 5-year-old girl from Grays Harbor County are in custody and considered persons of interest as the search for their daughter continues.

The Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in finding Oakley Carlson, an Oakville resident.

Her parents were arrested Monday on charges of obstruction of law enforcement and first-degree manslaughter.

Detectives consider the circumstances surrounding the child's disappearance suspicious.

Detectives and search and rescue workers are searching the home and property where Carlson lives. The investigation is in its initial stages.

Law enforcement became involved when they were asked to check on the welfare of Carlson by a concerned person.

An exact date of when the child was last seen has not been verified.

Or it was used so much in their household that it covered everything, which also usually means they were producing it or heavy, heavy users. We had a house in our neighborhood that was a meth house and the bank had to get professionals to clean it until all surfaces tested negative. It took several cleanings.

Definitely a possibility. I'm going by what they are saying that it probably indicates ingestion. In any scenario, I think, it is enough for charges and conviction thank goodness.

I thank the Lord everyone I love stays away from such stuff. I know people though that do it, have done it or I feel very likely do it. Meth I mean.

I lean to ingestion, too, but it also could be ingestion because the parents left it out, not necessarily that they actually administered it to the kids. I am not saying that they didn't though, but chronic users tend to be very lax at putting it up and leaving it out for easy access to themselves not even thinking about their kids and them getting into it. Any flat surface could be covered from them using it on them, too like a coffee table or such.

I agree with all you are saying. I am just glad and feel that any scenario, even if they charge on the basis of thinking likely ingestion, even if it is excessive amounts around, etc., is still neglect/endangerment or whatever the charges are, for that level I imagine. Any scenario would basically and hopefully result in a conviction as to how the kids had that level... I don't have time to refresh myself on the exact charges right now, but know they tested the other children. I know charges are something on that order and all would lend to neglect/endangerment or whatever the charge is. Jumping threads at the moment catching up quick.

It's definitely neglect and endangerment, no matter how exactly it happened

Search for missing girl Oakley Carlson continues after a year​

Thursday marks a year since Oakley Carlson was reported to have last been seen in Oakville, according to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

The parents of the girl claim she was last seen on Nov. 30, 2021. Investigators with the Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office say that Oakley was last seen months earlier.


No charges have been filed concerning Oakley’s disappearance, because neither she nor any remains have been found.

NCMEC launched a video about the case, urging the public to come forward with any information about Oakley or her disappearance.

“We are asking people to pay close attention to the timeline for Oakley’s case. Although you may not realize it, it’s possible that you could be a big help in this investigation. It’s going to take the entire community to find answers and help bring Oakley home,” said Angeline Hartmann, the director of communications at NCMEC.

Statements by Parents of Missing 5-Year-Old Oakley Carlson Could Be Evidence in Upcoming Trial​

The parents of missing 5-year-old Oakley Carlson, who are facing felony charges related to two of their other children, both have hearings scheduled to determine whether their own statements can be used as evidence in trial.

Jordan Bowers and Andrew Carlson each face one count of second-degree abandonment of a dependent child for allegedly neglecting to give their 6-year-old daughter a prescribed medication, and two counts of endangerment with a controlled substance for allegedly exposing their 6-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son to methamphetamine.

Neither Bowers or Carlson yet face charges related to Oakley, though both remain suspects in the disappearance of the 5-year-old Oakville girl.

While Bowers and Carlson have identical charges and will be tried at the same time, their cases remain separate up until the joint trial.

That trial is currently scheduled for April 19.

Prosecuting attorney Jason Walker told Grays Harbor County Superior Court Judge Dave Edwards Tuesday morning that Bowers’ case would require a 3.5 suppression hearing — a special hearing to determine if any statement of guilt by the defendant can be used as evidence in a trial — prior to trial.

“That’s not surprising,” said Walker, later adding, “I anticipate that the issue is going to be more legal rather than factual.”

Carlson’s attorney, Jonathan Feste, informed the court earlier this month that Carlson’s case would also require a 3.5 hearing.

Missing Washington 6-year-old who siblings fear was 'eaten by wolves' may still be alive, profiler says

Missing Washington 6-year-old who siblings fear was 'eaten by wolves' may still be alive, profiler says​

Washington state 6-year-old Oakley Carlson went home to her parents, alleged meth users, a year ago after they regained custody from her foster family. Then she went missing, and her preschool-age siblings told deputies she may have been "eaten by wolves."

But criminal profiler John Kelly told Fox News Digital Friday he believes there’s a chance Oakley may be alive and is offering a reward that leads to her location.

"The parents never notified anybody that she disappeared," he said. "If somebody else grabbed her, kidnapped her, I’m sure the parents would have gone to the authorities."

The parents' silence could be indicative that they were involved in her disappearance, Kelley said, but that doesn’t mean she’s dead.

Jordan Bowers and Andrew Carlson were arrested in December on child abandonment allegations, but last month, prosecutors tacked on new charges of exposing their other children to methamphetamine.

"Meth is the most insidious drug," Kelly said. "Addicts need money. Is it possible they sold her?"

Her clothes were gone, and her toys were gone, he said.

"To me, that looks like she was packed up, because how many kidnappers go and say, ‘Where’s your toys kid? Where’s your clothes?’" he said.

In an effort to find Oakley, Kelly is offering a one-time reward of $10,000 for information leading to her whereabouts and recovery within the next six months, he said.

Also apparently in foster care at some point.

What an adorable picture. She obviously had such a vibrant personality.

Yeah, Packed up, I don't think I have ever heard of that in a stranger abduction. It sounds to me the parents were trying to erase her existence.

Yeah, I think it is unlikely she is alive. I like the man's hope but even if she was sold, sadly she is likely dead. There was a recent one like that and the child still ended up dead. With her name out there as a missing child, if someone had her, the liability/risk would likely feel to high to them.

I agree with you, they erased all signs of her. Lori Vallow did the same basically with regard to JJ and Tylee and they were found dead.

I suppose there is a glimmer of hope here but cynical me doesn't think it is likely...

What an adorable picture. She obviously had such a vibrant personality.

This one gets to me. She looks way too much like my girls did at that age.

SEE IT: Dad of Missing Oakley Carlson Pleads Guilty in Court as Search for 5-year-old ‘Eaten by Wolves’ Continues​

The father of a missing Washington girl, Oakley Carlson, appeared at an Oakville court Monday morning and pleaded guilty to two counts of endangerment with a controlled substance.

Oakley’s father, Andrew Carlson, pleaded guilty in connection with Oakley’s older sister, 6, who was supposed to be given prescription medication for her health. Prosecutors say both Carlson and Oakley’s mother, Jordan Bowers, had not refilled the child’s prescription in months.

Prosecutors added that without the medication, the child is in danger of physical impairment with the potential to lead to death. She’s now in protective custody.

Bowers also appeared in court Monday, but her hearing was rescheduled to a later date.

Investigators interviewed the 6-year-old, who said her mother told her not to talk about Oakley. She eventually admitted she hadn’t seen her sister in a long time; she began crying when a detective asked her if Oakley was hurt.

“Her mother Jordan told her not to talk about Oakley and that she had gone out to be eaten by wolves,” a police report read.

Missing Oakville Girl’s Father Gets a Year in Prison for Exposing Children to Meth - The Daily Chronicle

Missing Oakville Girl’s Father Gets a Year in Prison for Exposing Children to Meth​

Andrew Carlson, the biological father of missing 5-year-old Oakville girl Oakley Carlson, has been sentenced to 12 months in prison after pleading guilty earlier this month to charges unrelated to Oakley.

In addition to the prison sentence, Carlson will be required to undergo a chemical dependency evaluation within 45 days of his release and complete any recommended treatment.

Upon his release, he will not be allowed to possess controlled substances without a prescription and will not be allowed to have unsupervised contact with children under 18. Judge Katherine Svoboda granted Carlson an exception to have contact with his biological children, pending separate dependency hearings. He is allowed to have contact with his 11-year-old child from his previous marriage.

“I would like to say that I deeply regret my failings as a father,” Carlson said. “I haven’t done a lot of things correctly in the last seven years or so. I’m very ready to turn that around and if I can’t be a father to my children at least I can be an example they can look at and say I did the right thing.”



“These cases are frustrating for the court because we are limited by what the prosecutor brings before us and what the Legislature gives us as sentencing authority,” said Svoboda on Monday, adding that, despite the crimes being Class C felonies, her only option to sentence Carlson outside of that 6 to 12 month standard range would be to grant him a first-time offender waiver — which would reduce his jail sentence to a 0 to 90 day range but would place him on community custody.

Svoboda said community custody would have been a benefit because “I’m not convinced you are going to follow through unless someone is watching.” She said the 0 to 90 day sentencing range allowed by the first-time offender waiver was not fitting to the crime.

“Based on the limitations before me, I’m going to do the most that I can,” she said, later adding, “I don’t know how you dig yourself out of this, Mr. Carlson, but you’ve earned every day.”

Carlson, who has been in custody on $150,000 bail since his initial arrest on Dec. 6, is eligible for early release in August.

“I would like to say that I deeply regret my failings as a father,” Carlson said. “I haven’t done a lot of things correctly in the last seven years or so. I’m very ready to turn that around and if I can’t be a father to my children at least I can be an example they can look at and say I did the right thing.”

You know how you can be a good example to your children and do the right thing? Tell authorities what happened to Oakley and where she is.

No sh*t. I was going to say at least they have a year to charge him further but they don't since early release would be August it also says. I get so tired of the time given not being the time served, why do they do it that way? We are almost to April and August would be about four months from then. That isn't even half a year of a year's sentence.

 

[GrandmaBear]

LIve. Her foster mother is on.

Jordan Bowers, 33, was sentenced to 20 months in prison on two counts of child endangerment with a controlled substance on Friday, April 22, in Grays Harbor County Superior Court.
