The Car Mystery
At this point, the police were knee deep in the investigation, when they received an alarming 911 call about a burning car. On Sunday, July 1, police found Paige’s red Ford Focus (the same car she was driving the night she disappeared) a mere two miles from her house. And yes, the car was engulfed in flames in an empty parking lot near her home in Grand Junction. “It at least suggests to me that that person is fairly savvy and intelligent enough to think that there’s a real possibility law enforcement could find evidence in that car that would implicate him or her,” said Pete Hautzinger, the District Attorney.

What’s Inside?
While police were excited for a new break, they were unable to find anything useful in the car. No remains were located in or near the car, it seemed that police had reached a dead end. “It looks like whoever is involved here is not afraid of committing a crime,” said Frank Birgfeld, Paige’s father. It dawned on Frank that something dark and twisted may have befallen his daughter, and it was almost unbearable, he said, “You know, it occurred to me I hadn’t cried in a long time. I’ve learned how to do that. That’s it.”
