Grays Harbor County, WA – The search for missing Washington child Oakley Carlson gained renewed attention today as the Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office marked what would have been her ninth birthday and the four-year anniversary of the welfare check that first revealed she was missing.
According to the Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office, detectives and partner agencies continue to investigate every lead in the case, which remains active. Officials say Oakley’s biological parents are still considered persons of interest in her disappearance, though no suspects have been charged.
The Sheriff’s Office noted that investigators have worked “relentlessly” since December 2021, when Oakley was first reported missing from the Oakville area. The child, who had previously been in foster care, had not been seen for an extended period before authorities were notified, prompting a large-scale, multi-agency search effort across Grays Harbor County and beyond.
Law enforcement thanked community members, the media, the Attorney General’s Office, and Light the Way Missing Persons Advocacy Project for continued support. Advocates say community involvement has played a critical role in keeping the case visible and generating new tips.
A $100,000 reward remains available for information leading to Oakley’s whereabouts. Officials emphasized that even small details could help investigators move closer to answers more than four years after her disappearance.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office at (360) 964-1770 or email sodetectives@graysharbor.us.
