High Hopes
District Attorney Pete Hautzinger said, “There are hundreds of thousands of miles around us which could be used to hide a body.” Even though they were facing tough challenges, everyone was committed to the cause at hand. No one was about to give up, the Birgfelds’ deserved better.
River Is Searched
Of course the police searched the rivers in Grand Junction, they made sure to bring in specialty divers to execute the best job possible. Once the search perimeters were expanded, divers also searched the Gunnison River, which is a staggering 164 miles long. Unfortunately, searching the rivers didn’t provide any results – which the Birgfelds tried to reach as a good sign. That’s when the community stepped up and helped the police in their search.
