The last time investigators from the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office could verify Oakley Carlson was seen alive by someone other than her birth parents was February 10, 2021. Nov. 30, 2021, was the date Oakley’s parents say they last saw her. The investigation into her disappearance is ongoing.

Regression to the age of six (around the year 2022)

Authorities reported Oakley Carlson missing on December 6, 2021. Jordan Bowers and Andrew Carlson, who are Oakley Carlson’s biological parents, received child endangerment convictions yet failed to assist authorities with her disappearance investigation. The Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families shows significant failings through Oakley’s foster care background combined with multiple safety concerns. The Office of Family and Children’s Ombuds’ internal investigation found that departmental conduct matched policy requirements. However, this decision has caused significant concern regarding vulnerable children’s safeguarding.

Background information:

Name: Oakley Carlson
Date of Last Seen: February 10, 2021
Date Reported Missing: December 6, 2021
Location: Oakville, Washington

Involvement of parents:

Biological parents: Jordan Bowers and Andrew Carlson

The parents first faced charges of first-degree manslaughter but ultimately received convictions for two counts of child endangerment because their actions exposed Oakley’s siblings to methamphetamine.

The biological parents still stand as suspects in Oakley’s disappearance because neither has supplied credible information about her case following their convictions.

Foster Care History:

Oakley’s early years included a long stay in foster care under the guardianship of Jamie Jo and Erik Hiles.

The Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (WA DCYF) received multiple reports about Oakley’s safety but chose to ignore them.

WA DCYF terminated Oakley’s welfare investigation without confirming her safety, according to court documents.

Investigation and oversight:

The Office of Family and Children’s Ombuds conducted an internal investigation in May 2022 to examine how WA DCYF managed Oakley’s case.

The investigation found WA DCYF’s actions met legal requirements and policies but highlighted problems with child protective services oversight and effectiveness in protecting vulnerable children.
