In a tragic turn of events, a five-year-old girl named Oakley Carlson, who went missing in 2021 from Oakville, Washington, has been officially declared deceased four years later by the Pacific County Superior Court.
Following Oakley’s disappearance, an investigation was initiated into her parents, Andrew Carlson and Jordan Bowers, who were identified as persons of interest and taken into custody when she was reported missing in Greys Harbour County.
Reports suggest that Oakley had previously lived with foster parents before reuniting with her biological parents. Her siblings filed a petition leading to the court’s decision to declare her legally deceased.
Allegations of abuse surfaced as one sibling claimed Oakley had been confined in a cell beneath the stairs, while another accused the mother of physical abuse. The parents were also convicted of child endangerment and faced legal issues unrelated to Oakley’s disappearance.
Despite ongoing legal proceedings and investigations, Oakley’s body has not been located, leaving her fate shrouded in mystery. The petition to declare her deceased emphasized the absence of any evidence suggesting she is still alive, pointing to her parents as potential suspects in her disappearance.
