Yet again, ID sanitized a story simply to make the victim look like a saint, which none of us are. Page in particular was not simply "giving massages" to earn a little extra, grocery money; she was a sex worker/escort, according to police reports in actual news stories. She engaged in high-risk activity - this is not a reason to have any less sympathy for her, but it helps explain the nature of the crime committed against her. ID apparently doesn't realize people will research some of these topics, and the first thing you'll notice about this story is that the whole 'massage' business was barely touched on and never presented as a possible factor; it was all about this woman being a victim of...everyone and everything. CBS' 48 Hours did in a much better report on this story. And this show's beyond the grave narration is just creepy.

Warning: Spoilers
I absolutely have major sympathy for Paige's family for their loss. This episode is off to me for a few reasons. There is too much slant to show her in a favorable way instead of just showing the facts. It's edited that way for sure, and fortunately one of the officers did actually address the elephant in the room, that she was in a high-risk profession.
It was sad to see her 2 "friends" go on and on about some details, which sounded more fabricated, after the fact, to show her as a good person and mother. She could definitely be a good mother and a sex worker simultaneously, but the one friend went on and on about it to the point of disbelief. This friend's (Campbell) agenda was to blame husband #2 for the disappearance and even went into detail about how he didn't socialize with them during parties at his and Paige's house when the friends visited. As she's explaining this, has she looked in the mirror? She's a basic, unattractive woman, with a creepy grin on her face that reminds me of a ventriloquist's dummy! She then finishes up with eluding that Paige couldn't be whatever we're supposed to conclude she is (sex worker) because this woman's "husband's friend" didn't get the full sexual experience with Paige, just a massage. If they hadn't found the mechanic guilty in the end, I'd probably suggest looking at *this* woman's husband as a suspect". Something's not right there.
Overall, this episode is disappointing.
