Police Chief: Paige Johnson Missing Person Fliers are against ordinance
Paige's Grandma Fears Being Cited For Posting On Utility Poles
COVINGTON, Ky. -- Posting fliers on utility poles is against city ordinance, said Covington police chief Lee Russo. However, Jenny Roderick is continuing to paper the city with missing person posters in hopes of finding her granddaugher.
"I want people to know she hasn't been found. We are still looking for her," Roderick said.Paige Johnson has been missing for almost a year. While her family hasn't given up, they believe some in the community have.
"I love her very much. Very, very much. I miss her so bad. She was excited about getting her driver's liscene and normal things she would be doing," she said.Roderick is heartsick. She wants her missing granddaughter back."I try to fix things, and this, I can't fix.
"Her number one mission is to find Paige. The 17-year-old disappeared last September. The last person to see her is behind bars on unrelated charges. Jacob Bumpass said he dropped Paige off in Covington but does not know what happened to her.
Roderick is putting up posters around Covington in hopes of getting a tip, but she is afraid she will be cited. Police stopped her once and explained what she was doing is a violation.
Police have allowed her to put up posters for nine months. However, a resident recently complained, which put Chief Russo in a tough position, he said.
"In this particular situation, we are sympathetic to the plight of the family. We had to handle it as delicately as we could. Realistically, are we going to give her a citation? No. Go out and tear these fliers down? No. But we did have a responsibility to explain what the ordinances are and express our sympathies as well," Russo said.
"That day, on Friday, I was so upset, I put (fliers) on my entire hood and on my entire rear post. So upset I said if they won't let me put them up there, I'll cover my car," Roderick said.
She has since found other places to put her fliers. She hopes just one person will see the poster an call police.
"If she's still out there, I just want her to know it doesn't matter. We love her, and we want her home," she said.If you know anything about Paige's disappearance, call Covington Police at (859) 292-2222.

Police need to work on finding the missing and not asinine regulations. No humanity here at all.

Me too. What the heck city ordinance would prohibit trying to find the missing?
What kind of a human being would actually vote to prohibit such a thing?

It's the same here. So, we ask permission from propertyowners to place them on trees. They almost always say yes, but if they say no, the poster would have been taken down and wasted anyhow. We also have found newspaper delivery people that will deliver the posters/flyers with the newspaper in residets boxes. We have a 3' x 5' banner that a local store displays, in thier window upstairs.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

It is happening way to many times and so sad, thank you to the journalist who found this worthy to write. I agree with all your comments especially Don's comment about police to help find the missing and not hinder. It is sad people have to become creative and work so hard when someone goes missing it is hurtful and adds vinegar to the wounds. Everyone should be out there helping I just can't understand some people what if it were one of their loved ones.

Mr. Russo should be concentrating on finding Paige instead of where the Posters are hung. Also, I would investigate any person who would have complained about the Posters. VERY SICK...
This kind of action from an Official really concerns me that they have their priorities out of kilter.
It's against the LAW to Abduct or Murder someone also.........................................

WISH I WAS IN KENTUCKY WITH MY CONSTRUCTION STAPLER TO HELP THIS FAMILY...
KEEP PUTTING THOSE POSTERS UP - AS MANY AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN.
I STILL DO IT ALONG WITH REFRESHING TORN AND WORN POSTERS DAILY.
LAMINATE SOME SO THEY CAN HOLD UP IN THE WEATHER.....
HOPE YOU FIND PAIGE SOON.
HUGS, Susan Olsen

Good comment regarding found here ... http://www.wkyt.com/news/headlines/City_orders_family_to_remove_mis...
"You've GOT to be kidding me. Maybe the city or local authorities don't want to be reminded that they failed to find this missing person? Nothing else makes sense. What's the world coming to. My thoughts and prayers are with this family; it's not like they aren't in enough pain. Now the city has to kick them when they're down. As for the "unknown" that compares flyers of missing children to past yard sales.....SHAME ON YOU!!!"

Do we seriously need to make another law for all the coldhearted, idiots out there in order to prevent this from continuing to occur??
