It has come to my attention that NBC Dateline will be running a feature about Paige tonight. According to TV listings, Dateline is a two hour program tonight but the Paige piece is only going to appear in one of those two hours, and I have no idea which one.

This was rumored a few days ago in the Missing thread, but it appears that tonight is the night.

Check your local listings.
 
thanks, KG...gonna be interesting to see this compared the the 48 Hours piece.
 
Thanks KG!
 
Thanks, KG! I will have to DVR it.
 
Thank god for DVR
 
Just sent DH off to set the TIVO
 
saw an ad for tonight's episode during Law & Order: CI last night.To warn you (in case you are hoping that it will be as good as 48 hrs a few weeks ago) they have called the piece "The double life of a soccer mom". The ad pretty much focused on the more "unseemly" aspect of Paige's attempts to support her family.I have a feeling they are much more interested in the salacious details, rather than brining attention to the search for Paige. Hopefully, they were just trying to tantalize viewers in an effort to get people to turn in to what will end up being a fair & balanced episode. Somehow, I doubt it.
 
Thanks for the heads up Charity.
 
Thanks KG for always keeping us informed, I'll be setting the DVR!
 
I just set my DVR thanks KG.
 
Thanks - I'll watch it but keep the kids in their room with something else.

That's why I've been DVR-ing all the things about Paige. That way I can watch it while my son's asleep, so that he doesn't catch bits of pieces of the story and get worried.

I do know that Dateline interviewed two of Paige's closest friends, so they're hoping for less than a hit piece, but you never know. Sound bites can be chopped up and rearranged to make it sound like someone said something they didn't actually say - there is a lot of that going on in politics right now - so I am a little concerned about tonight's show.Still, every bit of media attention helps put pressure on those responsible and people are more likely to remember names and not why they remember the names. As George M. Cohan said, "I don't care what you say about me in the papers. Just say something about me in the papers and make sure you spell my name right."
 
I am so glad I came on here today. I will have to check the time!
 
Hey KG - what time is it on in WI so I don't have to look it up. ;)
 
I just saw a preview for this - 8 p.m. CT it looks like...Preview made it look like a focus on the negative but we'll see...

For the answer to that read the One of Our Own is Missing thread...plenty has already been said...
 
That was a wierd clip 'cut and paste'... They are talking about Lester and this guy is talking about Rob...
 
Did anyone watch? Did they show CS? There are tons of guests looking at paige posts.
 
They didn't mention it by name. They mentioned her businesses, including PC, and then they mentioned that she posted information on "a website related to one of her businesses".

Probably not too difficult to Google....

I thought it was very well done. Things were prevented as facts in a case, not judgmental opinions.
 
I watched - they showed some of her posts, but they didn't show the origin of them (ie cs) - I'm sure if they did a search they were able to find them.
 
they did, but didn't mention the name, just said a website for one of her businesses, or at least in the part I watched, I didn't see the whole thing...
