Montesano, WA – The Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Monday that Jordan Bowers, the biological mother of missing child Oakley Carlson, has been released from prison. Officials emphasized that both Bowers and Andrew Carlson, Oakley’s father, remain persons of interest in the child’s disappearance.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, investigators are continuing to work closely with the Grays Harbor County Prosecutor’s Office on what they described as a “no-body homicide prosecution.” Oakley was last seen in February 2021 by someone other than her parents, and she was officially reported missing in December 2021 after a welfare check was requested.
Authorities said Oakley’s parents gave conflicting statements about her whereabouts. Both were later convicted of child abuse in a separate case but have not been charged in connection with her disappearance.
The Sheriff’s Office is urging the public to come forward with any information that could assist in locating Oakley or advancing the case. A $100,000 reward remains available for information leading to her recovery.
