On February 10, 2021, four-year-old Oakley Carlson was seen for the last time in Grays Harbor County, Washington. She wasn’t reported missing until ten months later, on December 6, when a school principal called in a welfare check. When police spoke to Oakley’s biological parents, Andrew Carlson and Jordan Bowers, they gave conflicting stories and couldn’t explain where she was.
An investigation was immediately launched, and what followed was a series of disturbing revelations—allegations of abuse, drug exposure, and medical neglect, all at the hands of Oakley’s biological parents. And yet, despite multiple investigations and searches, Oakley has never been found. Now, more than four years later, the question remains—what happened to Oakley Carlson?
Oakley Carlson was last verifiably seen on February 10, 2021. At the time, she was four years old. She stood three feet tall, weighed around 50 pounds, and had brown eyes and brown hair. Today, she would be eight years old.
If you have any information about Oakley’s whereabouts, you’re asked to contact the Grays Harbor Sheriff's Office at 360-964-1729 or Crimestoppers at 800-222-8477. There is currently a $100,000 reward for information leading to her discovery.
If you don’t have information, but still want to help, you can share Oakley’s story and her flyer, which you can find at justiceforoakley.wixsite.com/home. You can also join the Facebook group “Oakley Carlson – Oakville, Washington”, and sign her petition at Change.org/justiceforoakley.
