According to her aunt, Evelyn Hicks, Paige has no money, ID or phone with her. She is also not wearing her shoes and her medication was left at the house.

“She was out in front of the house yesterday, then gone,” Hicks said. “Every one of her friends has been contacted. No one has seen or heard from her. All the places she hangs out at have been driven by and (we’ve spoken) to locals. No one has seen her. We are all getting very terrified and sick to our stomachs. This is not like Paige. She knows better. She would never just leave. Not like this.”

A missing person report has been filed with the Joliet Police Department. Anyone with information is asked to email Evelyn Hicks at ehicksmorrisey@yahoo.com.
