I googled and couldnt find anything. Dd a judge rule on this yet about declaring her dead? I cant imagine a judge doing this in just a years time.
my theory: She found out something and he rushed to her house, he was killing her at 12:45/1am at her house, in his car. He drove to his house with the body, then began driving around to find a place to dump her.
I googled and didnt realize that Covington is only 24.3 mi from Fairfield OH. 39 min. Paige was supposed to be out alone and we have no idea what Katelyn Markham did that night. I wonder if their could be a connection in their disappearances.
Police say authorities in Ohio got a tip that missing 17 year old Paige Johnson might be buried off of Route 229 near Barbourville.
Friday night, police dug up the area but did not find anything.
The police never did stop the investigation for Paige Johnson.Why did the police STOP paige's investigation??
To file a wrongfull death suite you have to have evidence that the person actually is dead and/or that the person you are accusing is responsible.
The point obviously isnt to get money from Bumpass. The point is to try to find out what happened to Paige Johnson, get her justice and bring her home.Bumpass doesn't have anything, why file a wrongful death lawsuit?
You falsely assumed that just because she is presumed dead that people will stop looking for her. The point of declaring her dead is to try to find her, get her justice and bring her home..and nobody is looking for her?
She was wrong? So Paige Johnson has come home?She just privately came to the conclusion that her daughter likely wasn't coming home.
She was wrong.
Again you make false assumptions. I know Donna. She asked for help. People are still looking.When the family isn't begging for help, when the family isn't looking... other people aren't going to be looking either.
Eric Deters is very controversial. The case has been held up for quite some time, because he lost his license in Kentucky, I think it is reinstated. Donna isnt exactly Rockefeller, I dont think she could afford a lawyer. From what I understand Eric Deters was kind enough to offer his services for free. The judge also may choose the position of Eric Deters. So I think its possible that Eric Deters plan might work. I dont know if Eric Deters offer is still up, but if it was I would give it a shot.I think mom should look for a new lawyer. Bumpass most definitely CAN assert his 5th ammendment rights. He can also refuse to answer questions when being deposed, and then it is up to a judge to determine if the question is ligitimate and compliant with his constitutional rights.
The mom also needs to be aware that if she will require evidence to succeed in such a suit, and since LE has none she probably doesn't either. What LE does have, they are not going to give her because its an ongoing investigation. The case will be thrown out if there is no evidence and she could end up footing the bill for the costs.
national organization is now locating themselves in Cincinnati, so they can help find other missing people.

There is circumstantial evidence that suggests both. If I understand correctly there are several reasons that it makes sense to try to go for wrongful death.
1) From what I understand there is a lower burden of proof required in a civil case. Whereas in a criminal case I think the standards for burdens of evidence is higher.
2) Allegedly in a criminal case, the accused cannot be forced to testify against themselves. Allegedly in a civil case, the accused could be forced to take the stand. In doing so, it could force the accused to try to give evidence as what happened to Paige Johnson. If the accused got caught in a lie, the accused could be charged with perjury and it might be used as evidence against them in a criminal case. If the accused refuses to talk, I think the accused can be charged. (please understand my knowledge of law is nil, so this is just speculation based on my own ignorant interpretation of the law)
The point obviously isn’t to get money from Bumpass. The point is to try to find out what happened to Paige Johnson, get her justice and bring her home.

In this political and legal climate our civil rights are disappearing. The Constitution is being reinterpreted as a living document. The powers that be typically consider the Constitution an obstacle to be overcome.
If Donna lost and had to pay the court costs, I suspect it would only be a few hundred dollars. However if she had to pay attorney fees for the opposition, that could be costly, however you can’t squeeze much water out of a rock. The public probably wouldn’t think very kindly of a judge and an opposing attorney that would try to hold Donna Johnson financially responsible if she lost.
Eric Deters is now distracted with the Sarah Jones case. While it might get him a lot of attention, I think he might be playing devils advocate in that case.
I support Donna Johnson's efforts to try to find her daughter, get her justice and bring her home.
Allegedly the night to Paige Johnson disappeared, Jacob Bumpass cell phone pings were spread over a wide area. This would support the hypothesis that Jacob could have been on a drug run and/or could have been looking for a place to dump a body. In my opinion, Jacob Bumpass seems like a predator.
