THERE is a major update on the mysterious disappearance of 6-year-old Oakley Carlson, the girl whose siblings fear may have been 'eaten by wolves.'
A $75K reward has now been issued for information on the whereabouts and safe return of Oakley, per Crime Online and the Facebook group set up to find her.
As previously reported by The U.S. Sun, Oakley has officially been missing since December 7, 2021, after a house fire.
She was last seen physically in February 2021.
Oakley was staying with her biological parents, Andrew Carlson and Jordan Bowers, after spending most of her life with foster parents Erik and Jamie Jo Hiles.
Bowers and Carlson were arrested on allegations of child abandonment, and recently prosecutors added new charges on exposure of methamphetamine to their other children, Fox News reports.
Although Oakley's siblings of around the same age told law enforcement that they fear she may have been 'eaten by wolves,' criminal profiler John Kelly has told Fox News that he believes Carlson is still alive.

Kelly has said that the silence Oakley's parents have is still more of an indication that they were involved in the disappearance, rather than it means she's dead.
For him, the child's clothes and toys being gone is why he believes she is still alive.
"To me, that looks like she was packed up, because how many kidnappers go and say, ‘Where’s your toys kid? Where’s your clothes?’" Kelly told Fox News.
At the time, Kelly set a reward of $10K leading to Oakley's whereabouts and safe return.

Now that the case continues to be more dire every day, the reward has increased exponentially.
Back in May of this year, the reward had already increased to over $20K according to previous reports from The Chronicle.
The search for Oakley originally began after one particular concerned citizen requested for law enforcement to do a wellness check on the child.

Aside from Oakley's 6-year-old sister suggesting she had been "eaten by wolves," Oakley's 9-year-old brother has explained that he did witness her get beat with a belt and that he has been "worried about her starving," per Fox 13 Seattle.
The investigation remains ongoing, which likely means that the reward will continue to rise as the days go by with Oakley missing.
