I know... was a nice shot of it all!
 
I'm glad this time it was tastefully presented. Watching her father was painful, I cannot imagine what he is going through. So sad.
 
I'm slow what did you all watch...

Yeah, I can't stand a grown man crying! :cry:
 
I was impressed that it was so tasteful too. Her poor family; I was in tears watching her dad.

The CBS story about Paige...
 
ugh! The anticipation is killing me!! I'm in Cali, so I still have to wait another hour. I hope this story reactivates interest and they find SOMETHING. The family needs to have closure of some sort. Praying, praying, praying.
 
I still want to know if I can catch it online ...

Go here: http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/48hours/main3410.shtml

Then click on 48 hours mystery. Paige's show isn't listed yet..but maybe it will be tomorrow? There are about 5 of them to choose from that you can watch in their entirety. Not sure when they were aired, so I don't know if you will have to wait to see it.

I'm sure it will be online after it airs in all markets.
 
I thought it was tastefully done. They didn't bash her and I was glad. I feel so sad for her family. I didn't watch all of it...I thought he said "her" website...but they did show her posts on here.

Agreed. It is not possible to ignore or whitewash her secret life, but CBS proved it it possible to report on it for what it is - just one more piece in a very large puzzle.
 
OK - I was out doing a show tonight but TIVO'd it. As soon as I log off I am getting into bed to watch it.
 
I just hope that airing her story will bring closure. As several people on the show said, SOMEONE KNOWS SOMETHING that could lead to her being found. Hopefully they watched and will come forward.
 
The whole transcript is online ... I am sure the video will be up soon, maybe tomorrow.
 
I watched it. It was so sad! I feel so sorry for her family!
 
I just finished watching and I sure do hope somebody out there who has watched the program knows something and will come forward.

After watching though it seems they do know a lot more then what they really can say. I know that we all want to know every little detail but can't. It must be so hard for her family, I can't even begin the imagine the pain.
 
we watched last night and I thought it was well done~I only talked to Paige on-line a few times before June 28, 2007, but when I saw all those pictures of her, you could see what a beautiful woman she is inside & out. I am so sad for her whole family, but esp her Dad. It really creeped me out when I saw this site on TV with ChefBeckyD's name on it....way too weird. I hope this beings forth some info the police can use.
 
Morfia and I watched it together---it is so sad. I truely hope they find closure to this sad sad story. Her poor kids. My prayers are with the family and hopefully with this exposure they are led to some new clues in the case.
 
I agree that the police know more than they are saying but can't say at this time. It is good they don't want to jump the gun and start a trial that could not get Paige the justice she and her family deserve. For her kids, family and friends, I hope she is still out there somewhere and just not found yet. What is also sad is the number of people like Paige who are missing and don't get the airtime or attention her case has gotten.
 
DH and I missed most of it last night, but I just watched it. Whad a sad way to start the day.I think it was tastefully done. It talked about the less savory aspects of Paige's life, but did put them into perspective regarding her desire to support her family. Seeing Frank break down was one of the most heartwrenching things I've seen.
 
Yes, the police definately know more than they're sharing; but of course they're not going to tell the world, not yet. Didn't you guys think that detective just seemed so driven? He came across like he really has his whole heart into this case. He will solve it....interesting how when asked if she was to meet Lester that night, he wouldn't comment.

I noticed that, too. His determination to get to the bottom of the case gives me hope, both for the case and for humanity.
 
I had a team training last night and will watch it today. I have to run around and do errands.

He did seem rather possessed about this case and that is a silver lining, I think. We just have to keep praying thsat something comes of last nights show.
 
I finally got to watch it. I thought they did a good job. Hopefully something will come of this. :(

Ann, you nailed it for me! This is exactly how I feel, I really like that they didn't focus on her "secret" life! They focused on her good qualities a lot, like her love for her children and I think they showed her to be the beautiful woman that she is. I would not have been happy if their focus would have been on her escort service and if they made it seem like this was her fault, because it so wasn't.....:(
Oh how I pray the national coverage will bring about some answers and give us the answers we so desire. I still pray that she will be found alive and will come home to her children.
