Where Was Paige Annalise Dickerson Last Seen?

Paige was last seen in Inverness, Florida, on February 9, 2026. Inverness is the heart of Citrus County. Because it is a smaller community, public awareness is one of the most effective tools investigators have. Someone may have seen Paige at a local gas station, park, or convenience store without realizing she was missing at the time.

A Pattern of Concern

This is not the first time Paige has been reported missing. Records indicate she was reported missing and later found safe in 2023, and twice in 2024 (May and September).

Law enforcement and child advocates treat “repeat” disappearances with heightened urgency, not less. Frequent disappearances often indicate that a minor is facing an unstable environment or is being targeted by individuals seeking to exploit their vulnerability.

Why Every Hour Matters: The Statistics

The passage of time increases the risk to missing youth. According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC):

• In 2023 alone, there were over 28,800 reports of missing children in the U.S.
• 1 in 6 endangered runaways reported to NCMEC were likely victims of child sex trafficking.
• Florida consistently ranks among the top states for human trafficking reports. In a typical year, the National Human Trafficking Hotline receives over 700-900 reported cases from Florida alone, many involving minors.

These statistics are not meant to cause panic, but to illustrate why the community must remain vigilant. A missing teenager in Florida is considered at high risk for exploitation from the moment they disappear.
