Oakley Carlson

What happened

Oakley Carlson of Oakville, Washington, was last credibly seen on February 10, 2021, when she was four years old. She was not reported missing until December 6, 2021, after a welfare check was requested.

The Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office, with the assistance of numerous law enforcement agencies and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, has continued to investigate this case and search for Oakley. Because a recent photograph was difficult to obtain at the time of her disappearance, the picture first used was of Oakley at about her third birthday; in May 2023, the Sheriff’s Office released an age progression by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children showing her at about six years old.

According to the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office, her parents were arrested and convicted on unrelated child-endangerment charges involving a sibling. A reward of $100,000 is offered for information leading to Oakley’s whereabouts, and she is still missing.
