The search continues for a missing Grays Harbor girl who turned 6 years old today.

Although Dec. 6 is the day her biological parents first reported her missing last year, little Oakley Carlson hasn’t been seen since Feb. 2021.

Police said her birth parents have not cooperated during their investigation.

Oakley’s former foster mother, Jamie Jo Hiles, has been on a mission to find her.

The family and Light The Way, Missing Person Advocacy, are releasing a video celebrating Oakley’s 6th birthday.

This Friday, a fundraiser will be held at the Montesano festival of lights event.

The reward for finding Oakley is now $85,000.
