Dateline: 5 harrowing details about Paige Birgfeld's disappearance

1) Dateline: Paige Birgfeld disappeared in June 2007

Paige was a single mother living with her three children in Denver, Colorado. Her friends and family described her as a devoted mother who took on many jobs. She was a two-time divorcee.

She disappeared in June 2007, after leaving her kids with a nanny. Later, it was discovered that Paige had gone on a day picnic with her first husband. They parted ways, but she never returned. When her mother did not come even after two days, her 8-year-old daughter went to the Mesa County Sheriff's Office with her nanny to report her mother's disappearance.

4) The police found Paige's car in flames days after her disappearance

While the police were treating this case as a missing person's case, it soon turned into foul play when they found Paige's car burned in flames.

In an interview with ABC News, Dan Rubinstein, the Mesa County district attorney, revealed:

“It was very clear that it was an arson, because there was nothing else around it that was burned. It was just the car itself, and it was parked in a location that Paige really had no association with,”

He also revealed that the driver's seat was pulled all the way back, indicating that somebody tall was driving, and Paige was only 5ft 4 inches.

5) Dateline: Paige's ex-client, Lester Jones was found guilty of her murder

After they found her secret phone, which she used to book her clients for escort services, they found that several men had contacted her after her disappearance. One of them was Lester Jones, a 55-year-old local RV mechanic who had called a day before she went missing and had a previous record of domestic violence.

Upon investigating, they found 'condoms, Viagra and, in a trash can, a box for a TracFone' on him and traced their purchase to a Walmart, whose footage showed Lester buying them. He was convicted of her murder and is currently facing life imprisonment at Fremont Correctional Facility.
