Come down with us, you know, let's go be down there and Jason.

She was a friend of mine, my child's father and his feet were downstairs with another buddy and we were all friends.

So when I found down because Jason to see if she ever made it, she wasn't there.

On September 22, 2010, 17 year old Paige Johnson left her mother's home in Florence, Kentucky with an acquaintance allegedly to go to a party in the nearby town of Covington.

At some point during that evening, Paige sent a message to her sister saying, girl, call me now. I need to talk to you ASAP.

This acquaintance claimed to have dropped Paige off in the early morning hours of the 23rd near her sister's home in Covington.

More than nine years later, Paige's family is still waiting for her to come home and searching for answers as to what happened on that September night.

Every week on Redhanded, we get stuck into the most talked about cases. From Idaho student killings, the Delphi murders and our recent rundown of The Murdoch Saga.

Last year, we also started a second weekly show, Shorthand, which is just an excuse for us to talk about anything we find interesting because it's our show and we can do what we like.

We've covered the death of Princess Diana, an unholy Quran written in Saddam Hussein's blood, the gruesome history of European witch hunting, and the very uncomfortable phenomenon of genetic sexual attraction.
