Paige Bohne, 21, was questioned by detectives in November 2024 after her 2-year-old daughter, Octavia, was found unresponsive in her trailer. Detectives in St. Joseph County, Michigan questioned Bohne about what happened to Octavia. She admitted to giving Octavia melatonin and holding her daughter's head down on the couch. Law&Crime's Angenette Levy goes through the police interview and Paige's sentence in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.

I would never do anything to perfectly hurt my daughter and I know
only monsters would do that purpose. A young mom sits in the interview room after her daughter
dies at her home and police tried to get to the truth. I would never do anything and laid her down,
covered her up, one of them checked out her like I always do. We go through the tragic death of
Octavia Bone and how detective slowly broke down her mother page and where the case stands now.
Welcome to Crime Fix. I'm Anjanelevi. Octavia Bone didn't live to see her third birthday. She was a
little girl who was loved by so many in her family. She loved the color pink, singing and dancing. She
loved watching Peppa the Pig and eating cheese puffs. Her obituary described her as a cuddler
who had a special place in the heart of her grandpa and her aunt was her favorite person.
But the person who was supposed to love and protect Octavia more than anyone else failed her
and caused her death. Octavia's short life came to an end on November 7th, 2024. The scene was a
modest trailer at the memory lane Mobile Home Park in Sturgis, Michigan, a small town near the
Indiana state line about two and a half hours from Detroit. Page Bone, who is 21 years old at the time,
lived there with her two-year-old daughter Octavia, her four-year-old son and several other family
members. On the morning of November 7th, something went terribly wrong inside that trailer. What
exactly happened would take months to uncover, but now we have what was captured in a police
interrogation room on video that shows what Bone told police when the cameras were rolling. But first,
there was a 9-1 call.
First responders arrived at the memory lane Mobile Home Park, but it was too late. Two-year-old
Octavia Bone was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators spoke with Bone that day.
She told them she had been awake all morning making food, taking a shower, moving around the trailer,
but detectives say her timeline didn't match with what another family member told them.
They also noted prior signs of neglect including severe diaper rashes documented in photos
and inside the home. They found something else, a dent in the dry wall about the size of a child's
head with hair still stuck in it. Then came the autopsy. The medical examiner determined that Octavia
died from suffocation. She also had a large amount of melatonin in her system nearly three times
the peak adult dose, but prosecutors say the melatonin didn't kill her. They alleged Bone forced
her daughter's face into a couch cushion until she stopped moving. For hours, detectives pressed
bone about what happened that morning and that interrogation was captured on video and it would
become a critical piece of the case. From the very beginning, Page Bone tries to paint a picture
of a normal morning. She tells detectives about the night before about dinner, about putting Octavia
to bed.
Five o'clock this morning, she woke up, she was doing her little crying clothes like she usually
does when she wakes up and then I woke her up. I changed or got her up, not woke her up, changed her butt
and then I laid her back down but she didn't go back to sleep until about nine, three times hot
and then I made something to eat, took a little shower and then I started from porch to
and then I was going to the bathroom and my uncle came and got me.
Okay, I'm going to tell you about that.
About one? Yeah, when he came and got you.
Oh, he hollered my name and then my cousin came back, she knocked on the door, I was using the
toilet so I heard I've been got off the toilet and ran out there to see what was the matter.
And what was the matter?
She wasn't breathing.
Detectives start building the timeline. They ask about Octavia's sleeping habits,
where she slept, how she slept and Paige tells them her daughter, always slept on her stomach.
The detective also asks about medications and Paige mentions something that will become
a key part of the case, melatonin.
And how does she typically sleep like what's your favorite position in sleeping?
She usually likes to sleep on her stomach, that's just always been her thing I guess.
Yeah, okay.
And then where do you sleep at?
We have my boyfriend have an air mattress, we blow up and we lay it right by the couch.
Okay, all right.
Okay, and then you said she was watching Bluey?
Yeah, for how long?
For five till she had a sleep.
Okay.
Um, which was, what time was that?
Five o'clock when she woke up and about 9, 30 to the clock when she went back to sleep.
Okay.
All right, um, and then what, what did you do?
You said you made something to eat?
Yeah, made something to eat.
Take a shower, just start from the porch for a minute and then I went back in to use the bathroom
and that's where my occipato happened.
Okay.
Any medication in the house?
No.
She takes melatonin to help her sleep, but she only gets two at night.
Okay.
And she didn't have any today?
No, she didn't.
No, who usually gives that to her?
Me.
You do?
You know where do you get the melatonin from?
From the store.
Okay.
Is it like a child melatonin or okay?
It usually works for her pretty good.
Yeah, because she likes to fight her sleep, so...
Does she?
Yeah, four of the time.
Because that's been something she's always done, or is that just because of terrible twos?
That's always been her thing.
Yeah.
But as the interview goes on, the detective drops a bombshell.
He's already talked to Paige's uncle and the officer says their stories simply don't match.
So I know in situations like this, right?
This was a very tragic event, lots of stress, lots of emotions,
lots of things going through mind.
The biggest thing that can hinder investigation,
and also finding out what happened to her is when someone doesn't tell us everything that happened,
or they try and say, you know, tell us something that they think we want to hear.
So we've done other interviews today, already.
Okay.
And some of the things in the other interviews for people who are at the trailer aren't
lining up with what you're telling me.
What I mean is we've talked to...
Who was in her now?
Yeah.
So he went through his timeline with him numerous times.
His timeline does not match your timeline.
What?
Chris was about watching the video while you went and took a shower,
saying anything about doing laundry.
I told him I was taking a shower if he, I told her he's still,
or if she's still sleeping, can you keep the eye on her for a minute while I happen to a quick shower?
And he did.
He didn't mention that to us at all.
Are you sure that was this morning?
Yeah, so it was this morning.
Hmm.
Why do you think you wouldn't tell us that?
He's telling me.
He was sitting on his bed in his bedroom.
When I stepped in and I said, she's still sleeping.
Can you watch her for a second?
Just while I take a shower and he said, yeah, let's find, go in.
You know, that didn't come up when we were talking with him.
Do you find him to be a reliable person?
Hey, sometimes.
What do you mean, sometimes?
I don't know.
Just like family drama in the past.
Like what?
Um, um, why is an accusation of all types of stuff?
Against you or other family members?
No, other family members.
Okay.
Like them just not getting along.
So don't know what calls about you going to take a shower and I'm doing laundry.
Okay.
If you notice that you were laying on the air mattress every time he came in and out of the trailer?
No, of course, a couple of times maybe.
After I had gotten back to sleep and after that I got out and I got around for the day and cleaned up.
Took a shower and did what I did.
Okay, and you're saying it's all been moving around and you were interacting with him and talking to him.
Yeah, we were talking all morning after I got in the butt of Ben.
Yeah, okay.
So I guess what we need to figure out is who is not telling us an accurate story.
Is it you or is it or is it a combination?
Maybe the two of you are misremembering things a little bit.
I feel like everything that happened.
The detective keeps pressing.
He points out the obvious.
Kids don't just die and Octavia had slept on that couch before in the same position
and she was fine.
So what was different this time?
Kids just don't die.
Obviously.
Right.
And you've said yourself that she slept on that couch for a week and a half in the same position.
Didn't die.
So what is different now?
What happened?
No, that's what we're all trying to figure out.
Right.
And we need people to be honest about it.
Because when we find out what happened to her when she has an autopsy tomorrow morning
and we find whatever the pathologist is going to find
and you're going to tell us that nothing happened
it's going to be a different story.
I'm not saying anything didn't happen.
I'm saying we're trying to figure out what happened to us.
So what did happen?
I laid her down for her nap.
I said I think because she likes to sleep on her stomach
she could have like puffed her head in at some point.
Was there a pillow there?
No, just her blanket.
But she likes to sleep with her face like in the pouch sometimes, sometimes.
So she could have done that.
Okay.
So do you think she's suffocated?
I'm not the only thing I can think of.
Did you suffocate her?
No.
I have to ask.
I want to do that to my kid.
I love that little girl.
And why would you hurt her?
I didn't hurt her.
Someone hurt her.
I did not hurt my daughter and you're not going to sit here and tell me I did.
Then why are there so many inconsistencies from your story to the recollection of this?
Very same morning.
Telling you everything that happened, sir.
So the picture that you drew over here was this detective surgeon on.
You said that this is the blanket line here?
Yeah.
Okay.
Is this how she was when you checked on her?
Yes.
When you put your hand on her back?
Yes.
Okay.
You sure it was there?
It wasn't over her head.
Oh, it was right here.
Okay.
And when you went in and checked on her and found her on responsive, where was it at?
My uncle had taken it off or so it was off.
Okay.
So when your uncle found her or checked on her, where was the blanket at?
It was down here at the other end.
No, not once he took it off when he went and actually checked on her.
Oh, it was still right here.
Okay.
Because he said it was completely covered in her head.
No, it wasn't right here.
And her shoulder and her head were both poking out.
She was laying there.
Completely opposite of what she said.
Why would I check and have her head covered?
He said that's how she likes to sleep.
He said he sees her like that.
You know how she was sleeping.
He said he saw her like that.
And multiple times this morning.
He told us every time he saw her, her entire body was covered up.
And I'm telling you.
Do you think she covered herself up?
She could have.
Did she?
Obviously.
Obviously what?
Did she what?
Did she cover herself up?
No.
When I came back out, it was still right here.
When I went to get in the shower, it was right there.
The detective shifts tactics.
He starts asking questions that attack her character, calling into question.
Whether bone was actually a good mother.
Are you a good mother?
Yeah.
I can.
You take care of your daughter?
I do.
So she never goes to front houses with a terrible dive rush.
And if someone told me that, would they be telling me life?
A terrible dive rush.
The only person she goes to is her aunts.
And that's not very often.
And who?
Her aunt, Tavita.
Okay.
So Tavita's never talked to you about
her terrible dive rush or getting her cream or...
Oh, she's had a dive rush once the app.
Because while I lived at my parents house, they would give her milk.
And they know she's like those talent.
So that's why her ass broke out.
Okay.
Now, how many times would it believe you think that would be an estimate?
Well, it happened quite a few times because my parents don't listen to me.
So why would you take your daughter back to your parents house
and then they don't listen to you?
The house will live there.
What am I supposed to do?
Will live on the street?
No.
So if you live in your parents house and you have
a family there, why would she be in her aunts house?
Her aunt comes to pick her up so she can visit her.
So if her aunt pulled us,
then every time she picked her up,
she had a terrible dive rush,
which she would be lying?
She'd have had a terrible dive rush every time she picked her up.
That only happened a couple times.
Because of what I just said, she can't drink milk.
So she's lactose intolerant?
Yes.
So we interviewed Tateva.
Okay.
And she told us that every time she picked her up,
she had a terrible dive rush.
Oh, she did.
She said she talked to you about it multiple times.
She has pictures of it.
And I've had to care about multiple times.
She has blood cream and everything.
The last time that happened was when I limit my parents house.
She doesn't get milk anymore.
There's nobody to give it to her.
See, Paige, a lot of these things aren't any help.
That's the problem.
You get a completely different story
from your friends and family
than from you.
If it was off a little bit, I get that, right?
But it is completely different.
And that doesn't happen.
So that means we have a problem.
So if there's some things that you want to go back
and read, address with us,
we're more than happy to listen.
That's what we're here for.
But we need you to tell us.
I told you for end to the beginning.
And then the detective poses a direct question.
Does Paige think that this was an accident?
He makes it clear.
One way or another, they are going to find out
exactly how Octavia died.
I think it was an accident.
What happened today?
Well, on purpose.
Did you get rid of it too much melatonin?
Oh, it gets to me every night.
If she woke up today
and you wanted her to go back to sleep.
And she wouldn't.
She said no.
Because part of the autopsy is toxicology.
And they're going to find out what's in her stomach.
I mean, they're going to find out what happened.
Whether it was an overdose
whether she suffocated
if she was shaken enough.
Strangled.
Whatever, whatever happened to her,
we're going to find out.
And you want us to.
Right, you want us to find out what happened.
Of course, I want to know.
Okay.
So when we find out what happened to her.
And all the questions that we have
are going to be answered from that.
And we're asking you right now.
Those same questions that you can't answer.
Or you won't answer.
You're all the questions.
Not really.
You're giving us an answer.
But it's not.
It's not the right one.
It's not the truth.
It is the truth.
There's a lot of weight right now.
I can see it.
Okay, you've lost your daughter.
What happened wasn't intentional.
Obviously not.
Yeah, well, it's not obvious.
It is.
If it was obvious, we wouldn't be talking.
Parents, they get frustrated with their kids.
Everybody does.
Right, you've got a year old, you know.
Okay, but sometimes
it gets a little too hard.
Right, and parents do things that they
aren't thinking about at the time.
And they can't help it.
It happens.
And afterwards
it's too late.
Okay, I think that happened today.
All I did was lay her down for her nap and cover her up like I always do.
Right.
But you laid her down in a certain way that killed her.
How?
That's what we're asking you.
She sleeps on her stomach every night.
Right, but she hasn't died the other night.
That's why we're trying to figure out what happened.
Right.
So you were the last person to put her to sleep.
Obviously, I'm her mother.
Right.
So like, lay her down, cover her up, she wants to sleep.
She then makes a key admission, not to hurting her daughter,
but to the fact that something about that morning was different.
She acknowledges the blanket was over Octavia's head
and admits this time wasn't exactly like all of the others.
So tell me about
when you put her down.
I think I was laying her down, cover her up like I usually do.
Did you use the blanket to smother her?
No, I wouldn't want to do that.
Did you cover her nose and her mouth?
No.
Did you push her head into the cushion?
No, I wouldn't do that.
No.
But it can happen.
It did not do that.
Then what happened?
I told you all I did was lay her down and cover her up like I usually do.
But there was something different this time.
There was something that was a little different this time.
That was different from all the other times that you've done that with her.
Am I right?
I guess so because something happened.
Right.
And that's what I'm trying to figure out.
You didn't do whatever happened.
You didn't do it on purpose.
Never.
Never.
She was your baby girl.
You would never do it on purpose.
But something was different this time.
For whatever reason.
And that caused her little heart to stop beating.
And whatever that little thing was is what we're trying to figure out.
There's nothing you did on purpose.
Vaccines happen.
You know that.
So tell me what was different this time.
I don't know.
Now when I cover her up like I usually do, I check on her.
I always do a couple of times so I check on her.
Sometimes she'll pull the blanket over her head.
But when I read check on her I always pull it back off.
Okay.
And how many times did you check on her today when the blanket was over her head?
Several times.
Several times.
Okay.
And that was already after you laid her down.
After I believe.
Like you said that you had laid her down.
Oh yeah.
Right.
And that she wouldn't go super out of way.
And you had put the blanket.
Right.
Kind of like over her shoulders.
Yeah.
Right.
And then at some point the blanket came over her head.
Yeah.
Cause sometimes she'll just wore whatever her face.
Cause she doesn't like the light in her eyes.
And it was obviously day-light out.
So the light was bothering her.
That's how.
Okay.
Do you think the blanket is off of the camera?
That's what I'm thinking.
It happened.
Yeah.
Did you put the blanket over her like that?
No, I didn't.
Can you look at me and tell me that?
No, I didn't.
You didn't do it on purpose.
You did.
Maybe it was here right now.
and she could talk like we were talking and I asked her what happened what
was she saying she would say that mommy put me to sleep yes but it was a little
different this time but you said it was a little different this time and I asked
you what was different this time about it so I
would tell tell us that when mommy laid me down yeah she was always throwing the
blanket over her head that will look she damn like light interface okay I know
that it was an accident and I also know that when we find out what happened to
her there's not going to be any more chances for you to tell us the story I told
you that I know that's what you're telling us okay but what you're telling us
and what we're gonna find out the truth is and that those things aren't gonna
match up the detective appeals to her further as a mother trying to get her
to open up more about what really happened you're almost there that little bit
that you told me I can see it in your eyes that it made you feel just a little
bit better but there's there's still some there's some things in there that
you need to tell I believe it would look like it right and she was fighting you
because she didn't want to go to sleep I guess you didn't mean to do it
with
the page again that that was here right now what would she say happened
And she would say, I was fighting mommy, but I didn't want to go to sleep.
Yeah, that's true.
And mommy, what else did mommy do?
Mommy.
Nice smack around the butt of all the times.
Not like horror, just or enough to where she could feel it, you know.
And it was time to chill out.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
But, speaking, we asked earlier about if you did.
You said not.
No, I just...
So, these things that were telling you that we know what happened.
And you don't want to tell us because you're scared, you're...
you're in pain.
But you can't start to heal until you...
you help us figure out what exactly happened.
I think we can all agree at this point that you didn't do this intentionally.
I can see it right now.
It's horrible that it happened.
Horrible.
There's nothing that we can do to bring her back.
But there's a way that we can help her memory of that little angel.
Because we can't let her down like that.
Don't let her down.
She should be.
She should be.
She should be.
She should be.
Do you want to help her now?
What?
Do you want to help her now?
Of course.
After hours of denials and half-truths, Pagebone finally admits what she did telling detectives
that she held her crying two-year-old down by the neck and upper back pressing her into the couch
until she stopped moving.
It's time to be honest.
About everything.
No more half-truths.
No more forgetting.
That's how you help her.
That's how you help you.
Get that guilt out of her.
No you didn't.
But it happened.
But we have to get that guilt out of you.
You didn't do it on purpose.
You didn't do it.
I did hold her down on it just so she would stay still.
It wasn't very long.
I just wanted her to both sleep.
Sorry.
Do you feel all there?
Oh yeah, right there.
Thank you.
She knows that you didn't try to interpret her.
She knows you wouldn't do that on purpose.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Is that all that happened?
We're being honest now, right?
Yes.
There's no more lies or different things.
No.
So are you ready to tell me what's like the real story now?
Yeah.
Like from the beginning.
I was going to walk up and be there to watch your TV for a little bit.
And then when she started crying, I just made her lay down and held her for a second.
And I thought it would be fine.
Like.
Like demonstrated.
I also sleep.
I hope I'm like right here and like right here.
Just so she would lay down and stop moving so she would sleep.
So if I see this is not her size, but if this was her back and her head is here, show me what you're talking about.
Her head here?
Yeah.
Okay.
So like right like this.
Okay.
So you were just basically like this is her neck and her upper back.
Yeah.
Just like holding her down.
Because she likes to kick around and stuff when she's going to sleep.
And not one of the kickers off the damn college.
Sure.
Okay.
And you think that it was about a minute that you held her like that?
Yeah.
Not even that.
Okay.
And what was happening at that time that you were doing that to her?
She was just crying.
And she always does.
And then at what point did she stop crying?
It was like not long before I let go.
Maybe like five or ten seconds.
Five or ten seconds.
I thought she was just one of the things.
Did you try to wake her up?
No.
Because I thought she was just sleepy.
At what point did you know something was wrong?
With my uncle called me out there and I said she was purple.
Okay.
When you were holding her down did you feel anything?
No.
Did you break her pop or?
No.
Thank you for being honest.
It helps me in order to understand.
Right?
So I can help you.
This is.
You're only about 21.
But here's the thing.
Even after admitting to holding her down page insists she thought her daughter was still
breathing.
She didn't actually check.
She just assumed.
Okay.
And when you said that you checked on.
Yeah.
And you said that you saw her breathing.
Yes.
She was warm.
Everything was fine.
She was warm.
But did you.
Did she.
Did it make any noises?
No.
So I thought she was just asleep.
She usually didn't make a peak.
She's asleep.
Okay.
But when we asked if.
You saw her breathing.
Like her chest or her back rising up and down.
Did you see that?
Well, the blanket was over here.
But I thought I didn't look like it was moving.
Okay.
Well, you.
Earlier when I asked you and you said, you have my thought.
Now you're saying, I didn't see it.
I thought I did.
The blanket was on her.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um.
And then it wasn't until after your uncle came home with your cousin.
That.
He checked on her on.
And saw that she.
Something.
Well, I was using the bathroom.
Okay.
And then what.
What did he do next?
He.
Got on the phone and he called me Antiphanie.
And then he told my cousin to come back and get me.
Okay.
And then what did you do?
I ran out there immediately.
Did you get anything else?
Well, I just ran straight out there.
Who called 911?
I did.
So I just wanted to like.
I knew you did.
But when I asked you if there's anything else that you did.
So that's one thing.
You just.
You forgot.
But.
So that's why I have to make sure that when we're telling the truth.
Like we are.
That there's not things that you are forgetting about or not telling me.
I understand.
Okay.
So everything that you said so far at this point after we're being honest is the truth.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
No way did you ever want to do this to her.
No.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Page.
I'm proud of you for telling the truth.
I'm sorry.
I'm scared.
We understand that.
And I didn't mean to be mean like I said, I was freaking out.
But then another bombshell.
The detective tells Paige he just got off the phone with the evidence technicians at the house.
And they found a dent in the wall with Octavius hair still in it.
Something Paige never brought up.
All right.
This page.
It's all.
Um.
There is some questions.
I have.
Okay.
Again, we're being.
We're still being honest.
Right.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Again, we're being.
We're still being honest.
Right.
Um.
And this is.
This is the only way that this works is that we don't want to hide things anymore.
Okay.
Uh.
There's more that happened than what you told me.
Okay.
Um.
Because I just got off the phone with some of my evidence technicians at the house.
Okay.
And they told me about some things that I'm very concerned about.
Um.
Things that you forgot maybe to tell me about maybe, um, that happened to me.
What do you mean?
Like, did you throw her?
No, I would never throw her.
Did you push her?
No, I didn't push her.
All right.
Well, there's something that happened to her that caused a dent in drywall that has her hair in it.
What?
Yeah.
What are you talking about?
That.
I'm talking about that.
What do you mean drywall?
Like, whatever, whatever those walls made up, whatever the wall that you have in that trailer,
there's a, there's a dent from a child's head with her hair still in the dent.
Her face is bruised.
And then they hit her on the wall?
Tell me what happened.
I did tell you.
Then how, how did, how do you explain that?
I did not hit her face on the wall.
Did, did she hit it herself?
She could have.
She had fallen off the couch that morning.
Like I said, she's always rolling off.
So she did fall off the couch that morning?
No, she fell off the couch.
Okay.
What, what ended the couch?
The, she like rolled off the side.
Okay, so we go back to our picture.
This is the couch, right?
And this, and this is true too, right?
Yeah.
You didn't lie about this?
No.
Okay.
So this is the couch, this is the TV.
What end of the couch did she fall off at?
Right here where she was sleeping, she rolled off right here.
So she just rolled off here?
Yeah.
Okay.
And you're telling me again?
Yes.
That you, you look, you got out the wall.
Check down there.
After she had fallen off, obviously.
Well, that's not obviously because I wasn't there.
Paige continues with her denials about the wall.
Even as detectives press her, she sticks to her story.
She held her down.
She covered her head.
But the wall, that didn't happen.
A dent in the dry wall with her daughter's hair still in it.
Off the couch previously.
Okay.
Just as what you want to avoid is you want to avoid having a pathologist say this is what they believe happen.
Because when they usually do that, it is a terrible sequence of events and a terrible occurrence that it looks very, very bad.
So if there's something, some type of accident, you know, whether you slip, you're going towards her accidentally and push her into the wall.
She jumped into the wall.
She was trying to get away from you.
There was.
Something all in all kinds.
So now her head met that wall and her hair came off her head and stuck on the wall.
Nothing happened with the wall.
Has she fallen into the wall at some point?
No.
Off the couch.
Off the couch this morning.
But not the wall side?
No.
The floor.
Okay.
Just.
This is your chance to continue to be honest with us and continue to tell us.
Because once we get done talking here, that time will have passed.
I'm being honest.
I'm telling you.
All right.
But that's what you told us at the beginning of this interview.
Did that wasn't actually.
What happened to you?
What happened?
I held her down to get her to go back to bed.
Right.
But now we've found further things.
So now we have to explain those.
I didn't.
There was no wall.
There was no involvement with the wall.
What about the TV stand?
Not the TV stand either.
The TV stands by and buys that couch.
Okay.
Aside from the floor that she fell on to from the couch.
Was there any other physical contact that you had with?
That would have caused her to get hurt.
She wasn't even near a wall.
Forget about the wall.
Right.
I'm asking if there was any any point that you grabbed a hold of her and did something other than what you've already talked about.
No.
What did you do that?
Not a purpose.
I didn't do it at all.
I just held her down so she would go to sleep.
As the interview goes on, Child Protective Services comes in.
They need to verify the well-being of Paige's other child, her four-year-old son, and they need a drug screen.
When they ask when she last smoked marijuana, her answer lines up with the exact window she says her daughter was napping.
Okay.
Do you have any history of substance abuse?
No.
If you do a drug screen, will there be any substance?
There are a lot of problems with it.
Just marijuana?
Yes, ma'am.
Okay.
And then history of domestic violence with anyone?
No.
Okay.
History of mental health diagnoses?
No.
No mental diagnoses?
Okay.
And any criminal history?
So that's just going to go over the top.
That's not going to happen.
Which time do you think you smoked?
10.30.
10.30?
Yeah, somewhere around there.
Okay.
Where are you outside?
Where are you smoked at?
I was on the porch.
Okay.
Are you back or was it in time?
10.30 in the morning.
That was the same time Paige said her daughter was sleeping on the couch.
The same time she was supposed to be watching her.
After just under three hours of interrogation, the detectives return.
They have a search warrant.
And they tell Paige bone she's under arrest.
This is the...
I'm sorry, I started in Brooks.
Okay.
He's going to be taking you to the hospital.
Look at the blood draw.
We have a search warrant to get your blood.
Okay.
I'm going to tell you right now that you're under arrest for the murder of your daughter.
I didn't murder her.
Paige bone pleaded no contest to charges of child abuse and assault by strangulation or suffocation.
She's serving a sentence between 19 years and 45 years in a Michigan prison.
And that's it for this episode of Crime Fix.
I'm Angie Netlavy.
Thanks so much for being with me.
I'll see you back here next time.
