Paige is the reason why Kane and Tracy broke up. He is angry at her. He is known to be aggressive when things don’t go his way and acts irrationally when he feels backed into a corner. He may have gone after Paige for revenge.

Michael is somewhat unstable. He has always felt like he has been an outcast because he was ‘different’. He does everything in his power to be ‘normal’. He may have finally gone over the edge and kidnapped Paige.

Norman is misunderstood a lot. He is unable to effectively express himself and is unsure on how to appropriately react in certain situations. It is because of this he has been classified as a ‘creep’ in the community. He has always liked Paige, always watching her as he does his rounds. People are suspicious; this is just the sort of thing Norman might think to do.
