Fantastic news!

The family can finally put this behind them. If the body still hasn't been released, that should happen immediately.

Did anyone watch the live feed ? They were discussing the sentencing and I thought the attorneys had agreed to sentencing right there and then as jones attorney was going to appeal. I thought they gave him LWOP and 12 years for kidnapping ? I'm confused.

Okay I looked again. Sentence was handed down after jury delivered its verdict. LWOP. Justice... it's a beautiful thing.

Beyond happy that a guilty verdict was returned!

Obviously, this won't bring Paige back but at least the family knows that the man responsible is never getting out of prison.

They put his sorry arse away, Page.
He will never hurt anyone else again.
Good riddance.

If this guy did it he should kill himself or they should use his parts for people who need them.

I'm glad this beautiful lady has received justice. I remember when she was missing . Paige, thriving now in a world far lovelier than the one she was forced out of, can hopefully live her new life in peace.

My mom knew Paige. I met her a couple times. Such a wonderful beautiful woman and so easy to just sit and talk to. It breaks my heart such an amazing soul was taken in such a horrific way!

i just got around to watching the disappeared episode on this case. i read elsewhere that jones made a confession and that there was inculpatory evidence found on his computer, but i can't find details of either anywhere. does anyone with better knowledge of the case know about either?
