Volunteers feel pressure to raise funds, awareness in Oakley Carlson case​

Five-year-old Oakley Carlson has not been seen safe since February 2021, according to Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office detectives.

Carlson’s disappearance has generated community searches, a reward, and a new foundation.

“Oakley is our first big case,” said Shayna Richards, co-founder of the Light the Way Missing Persons Advocacy Project.

Richards, from Massachusetts, heard about Oakley’s case when Oakley’s parents were first named persons of interest in her disappearance in December 2021.

Her foundation, Light the Way Missing Person Advocacy Project, is holding a fundraiser for Oakley Carlson’s reward account Saturday night in McCleary. Richards said the reward for information leading to Oakley’s whereabouts is more than $25,000. She wants to double the amount offered by the end of the year, if not sooner.

Hiles hopes increasing the reward, as well as awareness about Oakley’s disappearance, could help bring justice in her case.

“It needs to be widespread,” said Hiles. “This little girl is missing and there were injustices that happened for her.”
 
The reward for information leading to the whereabouts of 5-year- old Oakley Carlson is now more than $75,000! Oakley was reported missing in Grays Harbor County in December 2021, but she was last seen ten months earlier.

On Saturday, 7/16, the Hiles & Light The Way - Missing Persons Advocacy Project hosted the “Paint the Night Pink For Oakley” Dinner & Auction. They raised almost $50,000 via the auction to add to the reward which was at $28,000.

Inslee called for review of DCYF's handling of Oakley Carlson's case; no wrongdoing found

Inslee called for review of DCYF's handling of Oakley Carlson's case; no wrongdoing found​

In a letter to the director of the state Office of the Family and Children’s Ombuds (OFCO), Gov. Jay Inslee called on the organization to review the Department of Children, Youth and Families’ (DCYF) handling of Oakley Carlson’s case.

OFCO investigates complaints about agency actions or inaction that involve any child at risk of abuse, neglect, or other harm; a child or parent involved with child protection or child welfare services and the welfare of children in state care, according to their website. They are a separate agency from DCYF.

Inslee’s letter, which was written in May but only now just made public, comes after pressure from advocates in Grays Harbor County demanding answers on what was or wasn’t done by DCYF to make sure Oakley was okay after she was returned to her biological parents.

In his letter to Patrick Dowd, the Ombuds director at OFCO, Inslee wrote: "I believe it is prudent and appropriate to request an examination of the agency's [DCYF] handling of this case, whether to affirm that DCYF followed all proper protocols and policies, or to identify whether agency actions may have contributed to her disappearance."

On Sept. 7, OFCO wrote a letter in response to the governor’s request, highlighting their findings.

In the letter, OFCO said: "When conducting investigations. The OFCO has full access to the DCYF’s case management system and all relevant information, records or documents in the possession or control of the Department."

OFCO found that "the Department’s actions and conduct in this case were consistent with laws, policies, and court orders." OFCO did say that the investigation identified areas of improvement, specifically "to preserve and strengthen the parent-child bond when a child is removed from the home."

"Obviously, we are all concerned about that case, so I wanted to find out if there is anything amiss that had not been done correctly and according to this letter, it came back and reported that the department had acted in compliance with existing rules and regulations. It doesn't mean that we are still not concerned about the case but I’m pleased that we got that back," Inslee said at the news conference when asked about the letter.

Grays Harbor County Judge Issues Warrant for Father of Missing Girl Oakley Carlson

Grays Harbor County Judge Issues Warrant for Father of Missing Girl Oakley Carlson​


Andrew Carlson, the biological father of missing 5-year-old girl Oakley Carlson, was labeled a no-show in Grays Harbor County Superior Court on Monday, Sept. 12, in Montesano, for his review hearing for re-arraignment.

Carlson, who was released from jail on Aug. 3 following an eight-month sentence after pleading guilty to two felony charges of child endangerment, was due back in court to confirm he had obtained a chemical dependency evaluation within 45 days of his initial release.

However, when Judge Katherine L. Svoboda called to begin Carlson’s hearing, the courtroom remained silent. When Svoboda requested information about his no-show from Carlson’s defense attorney, Johnathan Feste, he couldn’t confirm the whereabouts of his client.

“I wrote to Mr. Carlson that such a hearing would occur on this date, and I advised him to contact me as soon as possible,” said Feste during the hearing.

Feste noted he also attempted multiple times to contact Carlson via phone, but was unable to establish communication.

After being asked to present any information, prosecuting attorney Jason Walker revealed he had potential sources of Carlson’s location.

“I’ve heard second or third hand that he went to a treatment facility in Eastern Washington. I don’t have any way to know if he’s out or not,” Walker said.

Svoboda requested if there was a way that Walker could provide verification that Carlson had been registered in the facility, but was told that there was nothing he could produce at that moment.

Following the brief information from both attorneys, Svoboda issued a bench warrant for Carlson with bail set at $25,000.

“If he’s in treatment and that can be verified then you can bring it back to court,” Svoboda said.

Biological Father of Missing Oakville Girl Makes Grays Harbor Superior Court Appearance

Andrew Carlson, a prime suspect in the disappearance of his 5-year-old biological daughter Oakley Carlson, appeared via video call in Grays Harbor Superior Court on Monday, Sept. 26, in Montesano, …

Andrew Carlson, a prime suspect in the disappearance of his 5-year-old biological daughter Oakley Carlson, appeared via video call in Grays Harbor Superior Court on Monday, Sept. 26, in Montesano, for his review hearing for re-arraignment.

This was the third hearing in as many weeks for Carlson, who was released from jail on Aug. 3 following an eight-month-long sentence after pleading guilty to two felony charges of child endangerment, and failing to provide paperwork confirming his chemical dependency evaluation as per the requirement of his release.

Carlson was labeled a no-show for the first review hearing on Sept. 12 after failing to attend the scheduled court date prompting Judge Katherine L. Svoboda to issue a bench warrant set at $25,000 bail. However, the warrant was rescinded after prosecutors and Carlson’s defense attorney Johnathan Feste confirmed that Carlson was in a treatment program in Eastern Washington. Carlson was given an additional week to have all information filed correctly when the court convened for the second review hearing on Sept. 19.

Although Carlson’s certificate from treatment had been reviewed, confirming that he completed treatment on Aug. 31, 2022, Carlson did not provide Feste or the court with the evaluation and treatment plan as was required. Judge Svoboda, who was visibly displeased, began grilling into Carlson.

“Mr. Carlson, do you understand that you are under sentence for a felony and that you were ordered to provide your evaluation and treatment plan?” Judge Svoboda asked.

Carlson acknowledged Judge Svoboda’s question by attempting to explain he had given paperwork to his residential treatment representative; however, Judge Svoboda ruled that Carlson was not in compliance and mandated that Carson file the paperwork by 5 p.m. on Sept. 29 as well as appear in person at the courthouse at 9 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 3.

Judge Svoboda is also requiring the state to be ready to file a motion to show cause as to why Carlson shouldn’t be punished for violating the requirements of his release.

Oakley’s biological parents, Jordan Bowers and Carlson, claim they last saw her on Nov. 30, 2021, but the last time detectives with the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office can definitively confirm Oakley was seen alive was nine months prior, on Feb. 10, 2021.

They have not cooperated with the investigation into Oakley’s disappearance or with efforts to find her.

Both were convicted on unrelated child endangerment concerning their other children earlier this year.

A reward fund for information leading to Oakley’s whereabouts had reached $80,000 as of early September.

The reward fund is managed by Light the Way Missing Persons Advocacy Project.

More information on Oakley’s case and opportunities to help with the search effort can be found at HOME | Justice for Oakley.

Anyone with information that could aid law enforcement in their search for Oakley is encouraged to contact the Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office at 360-533-8765 or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST. To speak to a detective directly, contact Detective Sgt. Paul Logan at 360-964-1729 or email sodetectives@co.grays-harbor.wa.us.

Group Plans Project to Advocate for Oakley Carlson One Year After She Was Learned to Be Missing​

With the discussion of Oakley Carlson, the missing 5-year-old girl from Oakville, consistently growing in and out of the Grays Harbor community, there will be another opportunity for people to advocate their support for Oakley.

Light The Way Missing Persons Advocacy Project is putting together a project to commemorate the one-year anniversary since Oakley was discovered missing. To acknowledge the amount of invested time searching and seeking answers for Oakley and what she has meant to many people within the community and beyond, Light The Way will be making a video to show support for Oakley and the Hiles family (Oakley’s foster parents).

Light The Way is asking for people who would feel comfortable recording a 30-second or less video answering the question, “What does it mean to you to be an Oakley’s Angel?” People are advised to email their videos to Light The Way at shaynalighttheway@gmail.com.

All videos must be submitted by Wednesday, Nov. 23.


A reward fund for information leading to Oakley’s whereabouts had reached $80,000 as of early September.

The reward fund is managed by Light the Way Missing Persons Advocacy Project.

I don't know. Most of them never give up the location it seems. For obvious reasons I'm sure. They can't then argue a defense that the child isn't dead, no proof, etc.
 

Oakley Carlson: Reward for missing Washington girl now $85,000 one year after disappearance reported​

The search for missing Washington girl Oakley Carlson continues, and Dec. 6 marks one year since she was reported missing in Grays Harbor County. It will also be her 6th birthday.

But Oakley's foster family is not giving up hope. The reward is now more than $85,000 to anyone who can help find Oakley. And supporters of the missing girl plan to hold a rally and fundraiser in her honor later this week.

"I really am hopeful that more people will kind of hear about it and look into it and realize money does talk, if people know something, but they’ve been afraid to tell someone about it, it’s worth talking to someone about," said Oakley's foster mom Jamie Jo Hiles.

The group Justice for Oakley is planning to hold a fundraiser this Friday, Dec. 9 at the Montesano Festival of Lights event.

Mother of missing girl Oakley Carlson arrested minutes after prison release
Jordan Bowers, the mother of missing 5-year-old Oakville girl Oakley Carlson, was arrested for identity theft and fraud minutes after being released from prison on Sunday, according to the Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office (GHSO).

Deputies said Bowers was released from the Washington Corrections Center For Women in Gig Harbor Sunday after serving her sentence for endangering two of her other children with drugs. Oakley's father, Andrew Carlson, was sentenced to 12 months in late March after pleading guilty to two counts of child endangerment with a controlled substance.


Arrest warrants were issued for three counts of first-degree identity theft, a class B felony, and one county of second-degree identity theft, a class C felony, according to GHSO.

Detectives arrested Bowers upon her release from prison and she was booked into Grays Harbor County jail, GHSO said.

"These charges stem from complaints from multiple victims who experienced fraudulent banking activity," GHSO said. "After the investigation was completed Jordan Bowers was identified as the primary suspect."
