Paula Kay Dyer was born on March 5, 1978. She was described as a positive young girl who saw the best in others and was extremely trusting of people. Her mother claimed that, when told she could not randomly try to hold hands with strangers, Paula replied with: "Why, mommy? Jesus loves everybody. Why can't I?"

Paula's kind personality quickly made a positive impression on the neighbours of their new home. Her mother recalled one instance of Paula befriending a next-door neighbour shortly after their arrival at the address, after presenting the neighbour with flowers she'd picked from the flower beds at the front of the house.
