No Calls
Howard had been waiting for Paige to call him back, but she never did. So the next day he tried to reach her. “He actually called the house and got our granddaughter, and she was the one that told him that Paige hadn’t been home since Thursday night,” said Paige’s father, Frank Birgfeld. Immediately after Howard called the police, “At that point the alarms start goin’ off and he touched base with us, touched base with the sheriff’s office. And things started getting in gear then.” However the police treated Howard as a prime suspect as he was the one to ultimately alert them about Paige’s whereabouts the night she went missing.

Even though Howard was the police’s prime suspect, Paige’s family didn’t believe he was involved with Paige’s disappearance. “We met with him recently, and I think he is very devoted to Paige, and very emotional that she’s not here,” Frank Birgfeld said. Even Paige’s brother said, “I’ve spoken to him on the phone since she went missing, and it’s obvious he’s pretty distraught and upset that she’s not around. And I know he’s broken up by this whole thing.”
