About this episode
The episode discusses the tragic case of 12-year-old Lori Paige, who suffered abuse at the hands of her father and the systemic failures that led to her disappearance.
There were signs that things were not right at home for 12-year-old Lori Paige. Not just tiny ones: blazing red flags that followed her all her life. She came to school without shoes. She was hit with a belt in front of her classmates. She cried to friends and teachers, saying she couldn’t take the abuse any longer. And then… she vanished. What followed was an investigation that came far too late—one that revealed sexual abuse, violence, and cruelty at the hands of the person who was supposed to care for her most: her father.
