Summary
Lori Paige, a 12-year-old student at Griffin Middle School in Tallahassee, Florida, stood out as one of paraprofessional Margaret Summers' favorite students. Summers described her as attentive and smart. But Lori vanished.
Nearly two years later, authorities found Lori’s body and charged her father.
Lori and her father followed a routine. He worked nights while trusted adults stayed nearby to help if needed. The day Lori disappeared, her father left for work as usual. When he returned home, he reported Lori missing.
