>> george corraluzzo was a conman, a sick person. >> reporter: meagan williams knew coralluzo because he and her then husband had partnered in a house painting business. knowing coralluzzo as she did, she was not surprised by a visit she got on july 1st, 2007. >> sheriffs came to our house. and they said, "is george corraluzzo here?" i actually thought they were there to talk about this kidnapping case. >> reporter: to meagan "this kidnapping case" meant one six months earlier in which coralluzzo allegedly took this woman against her will on a long scary ride across state lines. >> i spilled to them everything i knew up to that point. >> reporter: thinking you were talking about a different crime altogether? >> correct. >> reporter: deputies didn't let on, but of course they were really looking into the disappearance of paige birgfeld, three days earlier. where was coralluzzo that day? well, very interesting, said meagan. he'd failed to show up for work.
