In the general area, there were three unsolved abductions/murders of young women in the 1980s, records from The Charley Project showed. At around the same time, there were multiple incidents of people impersonating police officers, showing fake badges to motorists to get them to stop. It is unknown if these cases are related to Renkoski's disappearance.

"An unidentified inmate in a Michigan prison was named as a suspect in Renkoski's disappearance in May 2001.
The man was imprisoned for carjacking; his victim was a young woman, and the crime occurred weeks after Renkoski disappeared. Police interviewed him several times and believed he had been one of the men she spoke to shortly before she went missing. But they eliminated him from their inquiry after he passed a lie-detector test."

IMO, there is no worse mistake LE can make than eliminating a suspect based on the results of a lie detector test.

I strongly agree about lie detector tests: there is a good reason they are not admissible in court. Sociopaths pass them all the time and innocent people flunk them all the time. Good and smart detectives know this-- the others, well, they don't

I believe, based on the way her car was still running, her shoes were off and I believe her purse was in the car, that she was the victim of a ruse, someone impersonating the police, so she pulled over quickly, quickly exited the car and was quickly abducted.

"How can someone just vanish and never be found?" Young asked.

That lack of evidence three decades later, despite massive public interest in Renkoski's case, is what makes her story and that of her family, who have never abandoned their search for information, right for a documentary, according to Geri Alumit Zeldes, a Michigan State University journalism professor and filmmaker.

Zeldes and two fellow MSU alums started working on the film in May. Both Renkoski's family and the Livingston County Sheriff's Office will participate, believing the documentary could reach someone with answers.

I can't post due to the 10% copyright laws, but it's pretty much the same info as the WILX article a few posts back.
 

Here are some maps to give an idea of where Paige was last seen. She was near her car on the shoulder of I-96 near the Fowlerville exit (shown in the middle of each map). Click on each map to enlarge.
