A new video released contradicts a story from a person of interest in the disappearance of Lindsey Baum from McCleary.

Hours after releasing the video that shows a person of interest in the Lindsey Baum case, the Grays Harbor sheriff's office says it has located two women they wanted to talk to.

Undersheriff Rick Scott says his agency has been able to find the two sisters, who are local to McCleary, and will interview them soon.

The women seen on surveillance video are talking to a jewelry store owner who told police he was not in town the night Baum disappeared.

"He remains a person of interest and we are continuing to look into the issues about why he would have lied about having been in McCleary at that time," said Undersheriff Rick Scott.

The FBI and Sheriff's Office served several warrants last year at the man's home, storage unit, and jewelry store, which is on the route Baum would have taken to get home from a friend's house on the night she vanished.

Scott said they've actually had the video since nearly the beginning of the investigation.

"At the recommendation of the FBI, we did not release this video until we were in a position to expand on the investigation further and confront him with this," said Scott.

Baum, who was 10-years-old at the time, disappeared while walking home in the small town of McCleary, west of Olympia, on June 26, 2009.

Two-and-a-half years of searching hasn't produced any concrete leads as to what happened to her.
