OLYMPIA, Wash. -- After two days of intense searching at a home and property outside McCleary, investigators said it appears they found no significant evidence that will help find 11-year-old Lindsey Baum.The owner of the property told KIRO 7 reporter Richard Thompson that he’s contacted a lawyer about suing the police and the media, saying they had no right to put the family through the search.Baum’s mother said she is disappointed that nothing was found relating to her daughter, who has been missing for three months."I was obviously really hoping something would come from the search," said Melissa Baum. Law enforcement sources told KIRO 7 that among the evidence collected during the search were condoms and pornographic magazines. A car was also seized and will undergo further forensic testing.The homeowner of the property said his family has been unfairly targeted in the search, "they didn't find anything here because we didn't do anything to that little girl." Relatives confirm a man at the house was the focus of the investigation and search. One of his relatives said, "the only reason they were doing this search is, he gave a wrong answer to a question by a detective on the telephone." Detectives insisted Monday they were acting on credible evidence when they got the search warrant for the property on Friday. Lindsey's mother said she understands the family's frustration, but her daughter's life is at stake."If they end up being completely innocent, I'm sorry. But at the same time, my daughter is missing," she said.Lindsey disappeared June 26 while walking home from a friend’s house.
