Hello everyone and welcome to Usual Disclaimer with Eleanor Neal, a true crime podcast where we crack

open some of the most notorious cases in history. Given the topics that we'll be investigating,

it goes without saying that this show comes with a content warning.

The details can get a bit heavy and you might find some of the themes we discuss triggering.

Listener discretion is strongly advised and check the description for some resources and further information.

So today's video is going to be another solved-ish true crime case.

Now this is not officially solved in the eyes of the law. However, police believe that they kind of know who did this.

However, I am not accusing anyone in this video, so technically this video is unsolved, this case is unsolved.

Today we're going to be talking about the case of Lindsay Baum and this was a channel member suggested case, so thank you so much to Caroline who suggested this one.

So yeah, before I get into this, I just want to give my usual disclaimer that I mean absolutely no disrespect to anyone that I talk about in this video.

This video is for educational purposes and everything that I'm about to say is just information that I have found on the internet and I'm compiling into one video.

So Lindsay Baum was a 10 year old girl born on July 7th, 1998 in Tennessee, USA.

She had an older brother named Joshua and when she was still very, very young, her parents had quite a messy divorce.

And following this divorce, Lindsay's mother Melissa decided that she was going to take her two kids,

moved to Washington, moved to a very small town named McCleary, and that she was going to take her two kids, moved to Washington,

moved to a very small town named McLeary, and they were just going to start over.

They were going to start a new life.

And McLeary was like the perfect place to raise two children.

It was very, very small, very remote, it was on its own, there wasn't many neighbouring towns and cities. The population was around

1500. It was very, very safe. Everyone knew each other. As for Lindsay herself, she was a very,

very outgoing little girl, very energetic, very active, very opinionated for someone so

young. She was one of those characters that kind of like when they walk in the room you know they're there.
