Summary

Thirty year old Paige Renkoski had plans to drop her mother at the airport, visit a friend and then return home, but she never made it back. After her visit, everything normal about her day disappeared and her case became truly bizarre.

For reasons unknown she parked her car along i96 where she was later seen talking to an unknown man and possibly two others. Hours later her car was found idling in that same spot and left behind was her purse and shoes. What became of Paige remains a haunting mystery that her family and law enforcement struggle to understand.
