Overview
- Pacific County Superior Court issued the death declaration after a filing by Oakley Carlson’s surviving siblings, as reported by The Olympian.
- Oakley was reported missing from her Oakville, Washington, home in December 2021, and investigators have never located her.
- Her parents, Jordan Bowers and Andrew Carlson, were identified as persons of interest and were previously arrested during the investigation.
- The petition asserts there is no scenario in which Oakley is alive, says police do not suspect kidnapping, and states law enforcement suspects the parents’ involvement.
- Court records detail siblings’ allegations of abuse in the home, and both parents were convicted in 2022 of child endangerment involving a controlled substance in a separate case.
