Overview
- Pacific County Superior Court issued the death declaration nearly four years after Oakley Carlson vanished from her Oakville home in December 2021.
- No remains have been found, and the criminal investigation continues with her parents long treated as persons of interest.
- The siblings' petition argued there is no scenario in which Oakley could still be alive and stated police suspect Jordan Bowers and Andrew Carlson in her disappearance.
- Court documents describe allegations from siblings of abuse and confinement under a staircase, as well as claims they were told not to discuss Oakley.
- Both parents were convicted in 2022 of child endangerment involving a controlled substance in a separate case, and records show Bowers was later arrested on identity theft charges.
