COVINGTON KY - Covington police continued Saturday looking for a Florence teenager, and mother of a 2-year-old child, who has been missing since Sept. 23.
Paige Johnson, 17, was last seen 10 days ago after being dropped off by a friend at 15th and Scott streets. She is 5-feet-1, 110 pounds and was last seen wearing a multicolored jacket and jeans.
Capt. Teal Nally said friends and family indicated it was very unusual for Paige to be gone this long without contacting anyone.
Anyone with any information on this case is asked to contact the Covington Police Department at 859-292-2222 or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 800-843-5678.

she had no cell phone or money or credit cards with her. her mother is "busy with other children". her father is in jail.
the Ohio river is right there where she was supposed to have been dropped off. the area is known for drugs and prostitution.
people say it would not be likely she ran away.
here is another photo. she has tongue, ear and navel piercings.
this girl is dead in my opinion. it's been almost 2 weeks. the police need to get a warrant to process the car that was supposed to have dropped her off. there has been lots of time to clean it up, but the presence of blood will be evident even after washing. i do not understand why there was not enough probable cause for a warrant on that car!
COVINGTON, Ky. - Court records are revealing new details into the disappearance of Florence teenager Paige Johnson and the man last seen with her.
Search warrants filed by Covington police state 22-year-old Jacob Thomas Bumpass of Taylor Mill, Ky., was last seen with 17-year-old Johnson on the evening of Sept. 22 and that Bumpass had given her alcohol.
Bumpass is a parolee for a theft conviction.
"I honestly did not see him as the type to do anything to Paige. We've all been friends for a long time and from what I knew he was a good guy," said Brittany Haywood, Paige Johnson's Sister.
Paige was supposed to be dropped off at Brittany's house around 1 a.m. The teen, who is a mother to a two 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.'
When his parole officer attempted to contact him on Oct. 4, court records state Bumpass "attempted to flee the residence upon officers and Covington Police Detective Bryan Frodge announcing their presence."
Bumpass was taken into custody and is being held on a parole violation for having alcohol at his home.
According to court documents, a search of Bumpass' home on Decoursey Pike found dried blood in the kitchen sink.
The affidavit states that while in the kitchen Frodge observed in the sink a substance resembling dried blood and two latex gloves with "one of the gloves having a small drop of the same red substance which to the detective resembled dried blood."
Police said Bumpass told them he dropped the 17-year-old off at 15th and Scott streets in Covington.
However, court documents state Bumpass' cell phone records show he was never in that area.
"What the records show are that approximately 1:03 a.m. on Sept. 23, Bumpass' phone pinged on cell phone tower near Tanner's Lane in Florence. Det. Frodge learned that Johnson lived on Cantebury in Florence which would be the tower location at Tanner's Lane."
The next record, according to court documents, shows a location near Wilder which at 1:32 a.m. which police believe is near Bumpass' residence on Decoursey Pike.
Court records indicate that Bumpass' phone pings off a tower near Dudley Pike, in Edgewood at 2:58 a.m., then off a tower near Filager Road in Batavia at 4:13 a.m.
Bumpass' phone pings off a tower near Half Acre Road in Batavia at 4:18 a.m. The location is near the entrance to East Fork Lake, an Ohio State Park in Clermont County.
On Oct. 8, detectives interviewed a roommate of Bumpass' brother, Caleb.
According to court documents, the roommate told police Caleb Bumpass had extensively cleaned his car two to three days after Johnson went missing. The roommate said that he found it odd because Caleb was "a trashy person" and he had never known him to clean his car.
The roommate told police he had heard Jacob asked to borrow the vehicle, according to the affidavit. After the car was cleaned, he saw spilled red paint in the trunk area.
Jacob has not been charged with any crime in connection with Johnson's disappearance. He's being held at the Kenton County Jail on a parole violation from a theft charge.
Haywood is pleading for anyone with information to call.
"If anybody knows where my sister is at please contact us, the cops and let us know," said Haywood. "Bumpass if you know something then you need to come clean because this is tearing all of us up."
The first thing that comes to mind is how dangerous it is to live where the surname "Bumpass" would be common.
The next thing would be to question the father (if there IS any) to see what he may have been thinking when his daughter said, "Dad, this is Bumpass, my new boyfriend."
Yeah, it's tragic, but...damn.... BUMPASS should set off something in someone's head.
Before y'all get lathered up about my irreverent post, read this.
MOO...matter of opinion...i don't think this girl had any real supervision ever. she had a baby at 15 that her mother keeps/cares for, her daddy is in jail, and she hangs out with bums. no school, no job. no direction. no goals. not home taking care of HER baby. did she deserve to be murdered? of course not. but lifestyle and associates can put these kids in harm's way.

COVINGTON, Ky. - A large-scale search for 17-year-old Paige Johnson of Florence will take place on Wednesday.
Covington police said Tuesday afternoon that the search involving multiple agencies will begin at East Fork State Park in Batavia.
The reason the search is focusing on the Clermont County park is because cell phone records show the man last seen with Johnson was in that area the night she disappeared.
Court records state 22-year-old Jacob Bumpass of Taylor Mill is the last man to see Johnson after she disappeared on September 23.
Paige was supposed to be dropped off at her sisters house around 1 a.m.
The teen, who is a mother to a 2-year-old daughter, never made it to her sister's home.
Police said Bumpass told them he dropped off Johnson at 15th Street and Scott Boulevard, but search warrants filed by Covington police indicate otherwise.
An affidavit states Bumpass admitted to being with Johnson the night of Sept. 22 and gave her alcohol.
Officers later searched his Taylor Mill Home On Decoursey Pike to find what appeared to be blood and latex gloves in the kitchen sink, according to the affidavit.
Cell phone records belonging to Bumpass show he was near Johnson's home at 1 a.m. and several hours later at East Fork State Park in Batavia.
Bumpass is being held at the Kenton County jail on a probation violation. He has not been charged in connection with Paige Johnson's disappearance.
So, today, Lisa Little wrote a check for 725-dollars to the Northern Kentucky Youth Foundation to increase their reward money. She'd already written a check to Donna Johnson, Paige's mom, for 1,025 dollars. So, all the funds raised were spent. But today, Donna Johnson told us she should have it all.
"The benefit was for me and my family. I wanted it to go to McKenzie."
Even though the baby's guardian said "I don't want it," Johnson is angry with Little. Today, her mother, Paige's grandmother, confronted Little at her Latonia business. Little called Covington Police.
Lisa Little is flabbergasted. She raised money and gave it all away, most of it to the people criticizing her. She knows Donna Johnson is under a lot of stress.
"Nobody knows how she feels. Whether or not she was entitled is history. I did what I thought was right."
No one is alleging that any of the money is missing. Donna Johnson just thinks she should have all 1,750 dollars and would put some of it away in a trust as a college fund for Paige Johnson's baby.
FLORENCE, Ky. - The focus of the search for missing teen Paige Johnson has turned toward the money raised during an event held last week.
Ryan Courtade with the Northern Kentucky Youth Foundation and Donna Johnson, mother of missing teen Paige Johnson, both spoke out on Wednesday.
On Oct. 15 friends and family gathered to raise money for the families involved and the search effort. When it came time to distribute the money raised, people began to disagree.
Donna received a portion of the funds. The money for the reward and search efforts were set aside, but the remaining $725 was set to go to family of the father of Paige's daughter.
According to Courtade, the father's family declined the money, asking it go toward the search effort and reward.
Donna, however, had something else in mind.
"Paige didn't have a college fund. I want Mackenzie to have a college fund. I want the rest of the money that's in the bank to go to Mackenzie's college fund. And the guy from the foundation said I completely understand and that's what will happen. So when we went down to get it the next day, it was gone," said Donna.
According to Courtade Donna "wanted it for her own personal uses. She said it was going to go towards the baby. But as far as I know we don't have any proof that that would have happened."
Wednesday both parties decided the money issues should be set aside and the focus on Paige should resume.
"If her reward isn't paid out, that's fine, we'll put it toward Mackenzie. We'll put it towards any other thing that has to do with Paige right now. But giving somebody $725 in my eyes towards a two-year-olds college fund, it doesn't seem like the most responsible thing as well as it doesn't seem like the people that attended the event on Friday night, that where they would want the money to go towards," Courtade said.
"My child is missing and I have more important things to deal with than all of this," Donna said.
he'll be sent back to prison.
they'll never find this girl unless by accident.
KY Post:
COVINGTON, Ky. - A Kenton County Judge has determined the man last seen with a missing Covington teen mom violated his parole.
At Wednesday's hearing, the judge determined Jacob Bumpass made at least two violations, use of a controlled substance (marijuana) and use of alcohol.
The judge will send her recommendation to the parole board in Frankfort.
The parole board will then set a separate hearing to determine whether to revoke Bumpass' parole.
"Today, probation and parole called witnesses to substantiate the claims. The administrative law judge found probable cause and is going to waive it on to the parole revocation hearing," said Todd Henson from the Kentucky Department of Corrections.
Bumpass was the last person seen with Paige Johnson, 17, before her disappearance September 23, 2010.
