Pam Page disappearance occurred in the 1980s.

In the peaceful suburb of Peoria, Arizona, near Phoenix, Pam and Rob Page appeared to be a happy couple.

However, on July 22nd, 1989, Rob returned home to a shocking discovery their house was empty, and there was a letter purportedly written by Pam.

According to the letter, Pam had intentionally left town with a woman named Sarah. 

Rob, feeling embarrassed and believing that Pam had chosen another woman over him, kept this information to himself and did not inform Pam’s family in Arkansas about her absence.

Four days later, Pam’s sister, Trena, contacted Rob, unaware of Pam’s disappearance. 

Trena found it unusual for Pam to vanish without informing anyone of her whereabouts, immediately becoming deeply concerned for her sister’s safety.

When Pam’s father, Willie Frisby, received a faxed copy of the letter, he felt uneasy.

The signature on the letter did not match Pam’s usual signature, raising severe concerns within the family.

Rob attempted to reassure Pam’s family by claiming that a missing person’s report had already been filed. 

However, when one of Pam’s sisters reached out to the local police, they were astonished to learn that the police did not know the case.

This revelation added another layer of confusion and uncertainty to Pam’s disappearance.

The case of Pam Page disappearance became increasingly perplexing as the truth behind the letter and the circumstances surrounding her absence remained unclear. 

The investigation of Pam Page disappearance

The investigation began with questioning Rob Page, who shared his account of the events surrounding Pam’s disappearance.

Rob claimed he had visited several auto parts stores that day, experiencing trouble with his truck’s ignition. 

He said he called home but received no answer, leading him to call a taxi instead.

Rob insisted he never entered the house, only the garage, before returning to the store on his bike. Upon reaching home, he found the letter from Pam.

According to the letter, Pam mentioned taking $60,000 in cash from the safe at the video store. Rob verified the missing money by visiting the store.

However, some aspects of Rob’s story raised suspicions.

Employees at the auto parts stores had no recollection of Rob inquiring about an ignition switch, and no one remembered his distinctive truck parked for hours, as he claimed.

After three weeks, the Arizona state crime lab determined that the signature on the letter was likely forged. 

Detective Sgt. Doug Hildebrandt confronted Rob about this discovery, and Rob eventually admitted to signing the letter himself.

With this revelation, Rob’s account took a dramatic turn.

He now claimed to have found the letter in the family computer days before Pam disappeared, stating that she planned to leave him.

Rob further alleged a confrontation with Pam over this revelation. 

He described returning home to find the house in disarray, with most of Pam’s belongings gone, except for her credit cards and house keys on the kitchen table.

Pam’s driver’s license, however, was missing.

End result of Pam Page disappearance investigation

Rob’s inconsistent statements and the suspicious circumstances surrounding Pam’s disappearance made him a suspect. 

Police offered him multiple opportunities to take a polygraph examination to clear his name, but he declined each time.

Despite suspicions, no concrete evidence linked Rob Page to any wrongdoing beyond his changing narratives.

Consequently, no charges were filed, and the investigation reached a standstill.

As a last resort, Pam’s sister sought the assistance of a psychic, Carol Pate, who claimed to have worked with the police. 

Based on a photo of Pam, Pate reported seeing Pam with a man inside what seemed to be her house, engaged in a heated argument. 

The psychic alleged that the man knocked Pam down and suffocated her with a pillow, assisted by another woman.

Pate mentioned seeing the name “Coolidge” and the numbers “2-4-1” in connection with the incident and a gray factory near railroad tracks.

Jana Thorson, a reporter covering Pam’s case, pursued these leads and discovered a gray factory building near the railroad tracks in Pe.
