and made us all want to get out there and talk about what a good person she was as much as possible. reporter: a much bigger problem, though, was that paige s secret life made an already complicated missing person case far more difficult. we started looking at the phone that she was using for models, inc. and you start identifying people who had the most recent contact with her. and you came across multiple people. hello, you ve reached models, inc, colorado s premier gentlemen s service. reporter: now every client who contacted paige on june 28th and there were many, was a potential suspect. here s just a sampling of her phone messages that day. yes, this is buddy. i was wondering if you had any girls available this afternoon. yeah, please give me a call back. i m gonna go get me a motel room now. this is jim. just calling to see if carrie was available tonight. hi, this is glen, i m just wondering if anybody s still available. i m at the country inn, and i was just
the detective goes, what happened there? i said, well, i burned myself at work. he s like, well, are you good enough of a friend to burn a car down for george, you know? a startling discovery about one of paige s clients. it was a traumatic time in grand junction, colorado, that summer of 2007, what with the fruitless search for the missing mother of three loved by so many who turned out to have secrets and the day planner and voice mails and phone records that seemed to point eight different ways at once, two ex-husbands and six clients. i don t think that i ve ever seen a more difficult case in my entire career. reporter: one by one, the detectives cleared their suspects or tried to. ex-husband number one and current boyfriend, ron beigler. we were able to determine that mr. beigler had been in the denver area through cell phone records. reporter: second husband, rob dixon, the one man she said she feared?
reporter: now, finally with a body, they decided to fashion a murder case against one of the eight possible suspects, the two ex-husbands, rob dixon and biegler had solid alibis. both being hundreds of miles away when paige was kidnapped and kill. so, that left the six clients. of course, lester ralph jones was at the top of the list. but george coralluzzo, remember him? coralluzzo was the alternate suspect that gave me as the d.a. heartburn and concerns. that s because his alibi was so hard to pin down. witnesses say he was partying at jose s apartment. but what time exactly? that depended on who you spoke to. what everybody did agree was this, coralluzzo was out of control. he was intoxicated, like slurring his words, not being
husbands and ex-husbands of murder victims are always suspects. if not for that bias, they said, the investigators would have found the real murderer. the evidence is shoddy. reporter: and there s so many other possible suspects, they say. take this theory of blake s. not long after clay s arrest, there were news reports about a man named israel keys. he was arrested for murdering a young coffee barrista in alaska and later admitted he d killed many more people, some in washington state. a serial killer whose family hailed from, of all places, a town just a few miles from chanin s house. well, why would you think it was israel keys? because he has killed over ten women. he admitted to four in washington. he was arrested a month about after my dad, so he wouldn t have been on the radar until then. reporter: serial killer? maybe.
