Not to throw the race card into things, but in the US it is a relevant matter. I do not have knowledge of Ms. Maddox's racial background, but could it be that being of mixed race or even being someone with a darker complexion the entire matter was just swept under the rug? Led Zep was an enormously successful band, didn't rock the boat at all politically and made money and made merry. There was no reason to seek him out. Had Ms. Maddox been the blonde-haired daughter of someone powerful Pagey might have written some moving songs from inside Folsom prison. I've read various accounts, from her being not only kidnapped but forcibly held for years, against her will. Peter Cole, Zep's old tour manager, is accused of procurring her on behalf of Page, thus protecting him from legal issues. Only the two of them know for certain what really happened. At any rate, something did happen, and there was no consequence for JP, although now the Net is abuzz with questions.
