Search for Paige Johnson turns to social networks

FLORENCE, Ky. - It's been more than six weeks since a Northern Kentucky mother went missing and now police are taking a new approach to find 17-year-old Paige Johnson.

Police now have search warrants for Paige's MySpace and Facebook accounts. They hope her final online correspondence may provide clues as to what happened to her.

The Northern Kentucky Youth Foundation says it will give $1,000 for information leading to the whereabouts of Paige.

Paige was last seen on the evening of Sept. 22.

Paige was supposed to be dropped off at her friend Brittany's house around 1 a.m. The teen, who is a mother to a 2-year-old daughter, sent her sister a cryptic message on Facebook a half hour before.

"She Facebooked me and said, 'Girl, I need to talk to you immediately.'"

Covington police say Paige was last seen with her friend, 22-year-old Jacob Bumpass of Taylor Mill.

Bumpass' cell phone records show he was in the area during the early morning hours, according to Covington police.

Bumpass is currently being held at the Kenton County Jail on a probation violation.

He has not been charged in Johnson's disappearance.
