Missing and Murdered Children

Someone emailed me an update to the story of the murder of Nyia Page. Her father is currently charged with her murder. During the process of the investigation into Nyia’s disappearance it was learned that William Lorenzo Page had sexually molested another child. When investigators were apprised of that information they were still in the process of searching for Nyia. At that point they placed William Page under arrest for charges stemming from that information.

After Nyia’s body was discovered in a wooded area a few blocks from her home her father was charged with her murder.

William Lorenzo Page appeared before the judge to face the charges against him regarding Nyia’s death. When he arrived in court he found new charges had been added to the murder charge. These new charges stem from statements made to police by William Lorenzo Page during questioning about what happened to his daughter. The new charges are indecent assault and aggravated assault.

“…The only witness to take the stand during Page’s preliminary hearing was Allegheny County Detective Robert Opferman, who told the court of a detailed confession given by Page in the days after Nyia was left outside in 7-degree temperatures.According to Opferman, Page admitted he awoke at 3 a.m. on Feb. 3 and went to the basement to drink a brandy. The detective said Page confessed that Nyia came downstairs without her diaper on and he became so frustrated that he kicked her between the legs.Then, according to Opferman, to stop the bleeding, Page admitted he penetrated the toddler with his fingers then wrapped Nyia in a blanket and took her outside.Opferman said Page considered dropping Nyia into a sewer before taking her to the woods behind Hawkins Village.According to Opferman, Page confessed that Nyia cried for 10 minutes before he left her there and went back to his Braddock home and back to bed…” [Source]

Mr. Page is lucky I will not be on his jury. There is not one thing in that statement that would lead me to believe he did not sexually assault that child. I don’t buy for one minute that he kicked her between the legs. I wonder if the information about the sexual assault of the other child on that same night will be allowed into testimony. It seems that Mr. Page was on some sort of sexual rampage and the target was children.

Poor Nyia. This piece of trash decided it was better to try and hide the sexual assault by abandoning her in the freezing cold, crying, most likely begging her Daddy to protect her from the elements. Instead he left her to freeze to death while he went home, cleaned up the blood, and crawled back into his warm bed with the mother of his child.

More updates to this case will be covered in my other blog - The End of the Story. That blog is devoted to covering the trials of the accused in some of the cases I cover on this blog of the Missing and Murdered Children.
