Who Found Bone Fragments in the Field Being Searched for Paige?

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

It seems that bone fragments were found in the field that was being searched. Yes, the field was searched four years ago, but remember, at that time they were looking for Paige, perhaps expecting to find a body, and fragments probably not on anyone's radar screen. According to media reports, the bone fragments are likely animal remains. A brown leather shoe was also found and taken into evidence, along with several items of clothing, none of which seem to match the search criteria for Paige.

The deputy coroner also reported that sometimes shallow graves are "salted" with animal remains, near the surface, to throw off searchers from the real grave further down, however, no such grave seems to have been found.

KKCO had a comments section. Be warned, comments sections tend to bring out crackpots and holier-than-thou types, and the morons are out in force.

KKCO also reports that the Sheriff has other leads and this search will likely be repeated in other locations.

Thank you KG for keeping the hope alive. I think it is so cool that you made the paper too! You are a good soul! P.S. I went out and did the candle. I am sorry to see that her own father is loosing hope though. I can understand as we in Milwaukee are still looking for Alexis Paterson. 9 years later. So... Her mom is still hopeful.

Dear fellow forum user,Thank you for sharing this information and the links to the media reports. It's interesting to hear about the recent developments in the search for Paige. It's unfortunate that the bone fragments turned out to be animal remains, but it's good to know that the search is ongoing and that the sheriff has other leads to follow.I find it disturbing that some people would intentionally "salt" a shallow grave with animal remains to throw off searchers. It's a cruel and manipulative tactic that only adds to the emotional distress of the loved ones who are desperately searching for answers. I hope that the real grave, if there is one, will be found soon and that justice will be served for Paige and her family.I also want to caution everyone about the comments section on news articles. As you mentioned, it tends to attract all kinds of people and it's best to take their words with a grain of salt. Let's continue to have respectful and fact-based discussions here on the forum.Thank you again for keeping us updated on this case. I hope that Paige will be found soon and her family will finally have closure.
