17 year-old Angel Wilson disappeared from her home in Spokane, Washington on August 10th, 2007. According to her father, Angel had been a habitual runaway since she was in middle school. Once she turned 13, Angel began dating older men and abusing drugs. She dropped out of high school in 10th grade and rarely ever stayed at her father’s home after that—she often stayed with friends and other various people, but she never stayed in the same place for very long. However, by time Angel turned 17, she got permission from her father to marry 21 year-old Will Wilson. By then, it appeared that Angel would have a more permanent address with her new husband.

Angel’s husband Will is the last known person to have seen her on the day she disappeared. Will stated that when he returned from work on the evening of August 10th, 2007, he caught Angel smoking methamphetamine inside their home. An argument ensued, and Will gave Angel and ultimatum for her to quit the drugs, or their relationship would end. This angered Angel, and she stormed out of the house. When Will awoke the next morning, he found Angel’s wedding ring on the table. That is the last known trace of her, and she has not been seen or heard from again.

In more recent years, social media posts about Angel’s case have surfaced. On one particular Facebook post, a person who claimed to see Angel after she vanished commented. This person stated that they believe Angel is dead, and a new boyfriend is responsible. This information has not been verified by police or any news reports, but it is certainly a possibility. It’s unclear if police have identified this “new boyfriend.”

Due to Angel’s history of leaving home, authorities classified her as a runaway. Still, she was considered at-risk due to her history of drug use and associations with older men. Even though she was married at the time of her disappearance, Angel was still legally considered a minor. She remains missing and is still considered an endangered runaway to this day. If you have any information that could lead to her whereabouts, please contact the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office at 509-456-2233.

“GIRL. I need To Talk To You IMMEDIATELY!”

^This was the last known online communication from 17 year old Paige Johnson, who has been missing since September 23rd, 2010. Paige posted this message on her sister Brittany’s (pictured above with Paige) Facebook page around midnight that night. Earlier that evening, she was last seen driving around Covington, Kentucky with 22 year old Jacob Bumpass. Bumpass claims he dropped Paige off at 1am at 15th Street and Scott. She has not been seen or heard from since.

Paige’s loved ones say it is very uncharacteristic for her to simply disappear. She left behind a two-year-old daughter. There are many rumors on the web that speculate what happened to her, and there are two theories that seem to be the most prevalent: one is that Paige overdosed while taking drugs with Bumpass and he panicked and disposed of her body. The other is that Paige rejected Bumpass’ sexual advances and he snapped and killed her. Despite the rumors, Bumpass denies any involvement in her disappearance and authorities have not named him as a suspect—although they do state that he has been uncooperative.

UPDATE (3/25/20): The remains of Paige Johnson have been found. On Sunday, March 22nd, a woman called 911 after her husband reportedly found a burned human skull in a wooded area near East Fort State Park. Just days later, those remains were confirmed to be that of Paige Johnson. Investigators are working to determine a cause and manner of death. Further updates will be provided as they come. Rest in peace, Paige.

UPDATE (7/29/20): Jacob Bumpass has been indicted on charges related to Paige’s death. On July 28th, it was announced that Jacob is being charged with tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse. During a press conference, prosecutors stated that they simply do not have enough evidence to charge him with homicide at this time because Paige’s cause of death has yet to be determined. However, prosecutors are moving forward with the other charges and they are hoping that more evidence will be revealed.

UPDATE (Summer 2023): In July 2023, Jacob Bumpass was found guilty of tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse in the case of Paige Johnson. During the trial, prosecutors stated that Paige died while with Jacob during the early-morning hours of September 23rd, 2010. Jacob then left Paige’s body unburied in a wooded area near State Route 276.

Jacob still maintains his innocence and claims he does not know what happened to Paige. However, cell phone records indicate that he was in the area where Paige’s body was found just hours after Paige was last seen by her loved ones.

Paige’s cause of death still remains unclear, so it is unknown if she was murdered or if she died under other circumstances. Jacob is scheduled to be sentenced in September of 2023.

Alexis Murphy (17) was last seen by her family and friends on August 3rd, 2013. That day, Alexis left her family’s home in Nelson County, Virginia, to head to the town of Lynchburg for a hair appointment she had planned in preparation for her upcoming senior portraits. At the time, Alexis was an avid social media user with a decent following for a young teen from a small town in Virginia. She posted several tweets throughout the day on the 3rd. At 5:04pm, Alexis tweeted “burg bound !” to indicate she was headed to her hair appointment. Her final tweet was posted at 5:40pm, presumably before her appointment began. 

Alexis was seen for the last time that evening at 7:15pm at a gas station in Lovingston, Virginia. The image posted above on the right was captured from CCTV footage at the gas station. She disappeared shortly after this footage was captured. Her family reported her missing later that evening when she did not return home. The FBI joined the case two days later.

On August 11th, 2013, 48 year old Randy Allen Taylor was arrested on kidnapping charges in Alexis’ case. Investigators were led to Taylor after they found that he, too, was at that gas station in Lovingston on the evening of August 3rd. In fact, surveillance footage shows Taylor opening the door to the gas station convenience store and Alexis walking in. The footage shows that the two did not speak and it did not appear that they knew each other at the time of this interaction. Additionally, investigators found that Alexis’ final cell phone pings were located close to Taylor’s camper located off US 29 near Lovingston.
