relationship grew ice cold. now it was stephen himself who was also feeling rejected, kicked out of that family circle. stephen was hurt and discouraged. i don t know if he thought that was just a stage that she would go through while she was pregnant, a hormonal thing. somehow he could make things better and get them back on track. it didn t get better. instead the relationship flu off the rails after the baby was born in june 2007, a girl named sydney. it was like jennifer wanted her family and her to be part of sydney s life, but didn t want anybody else to be part of it. stephen said, i barely even get to see sydney. when i get home, jennifer goes down to her mom s house with grandma shirley and auld of them. he said she even bathes sydney down there and everything, brings her home at 9:30, 10:00 and time to go to bed and gets up the next morning and starts the routine over again. stephen told his parents
. nice to meet you. can i call you joe? that, of course, joe biden s most memorable debate. his face-to-face with sarah palin back in 2008. this week, he will share the stage with nine other democrats and the former vice president will be center stage because he is the front runner. that means he will take more heat. but don t bet on biden fooird fighting fire with fire. history tells us is to make the case he is right without getting too personal with rivals who think or voted differently. a flashback here, june, 2007, the issue, biden s democratic rivals voted no on a measure to fund the troops in iraq. why were senators obama, clinton, dodd and congressman co kucinich wrong in the funding? i will not tell you why i was wrong, i will tell you why i was right. why are you reluctant to say they were wrong you were right.
knew how to get rid of a body so that nobody could find it. he said, i m going to kill you and then he just slapped me repeatedly. reporter: finally rumors and gossip would be dispelled or made fact. and the secrets known not only by the guilty but also the shamed would finally be revealed. why so many secrets, whispers, rumors? because in this town, where everybody knows everybody else s business, there were enough potential suspects to fill a minivan. did you have anything to do with the disappearance of paige birgfeld? no. i was put under psychiatric care for the first 48 hours and then sent to jail. i did not kill paige. i mean, that s the bottom line. reporter: it was late june, 2007, when news of paige birgfeld s disappearance first spread like the morning sun. over the mountains, in denver, four hours away, frank birgfeld
two years later, in june 2007, the week before she vanished, paige got a call from dixon. said he missed the kids. said he was moving back to colorado. she said that she knew that rob was coming back and that he was going to do something. and i was floored. i thought do something? what does do something mean? and she just said she knew something bad was gonna happen. but murder did not enter my mind. kidnapping did not enter my mind. that must have been very strange to hear that. it it was a staggering conversation. i mean, we were just two moms with small children faced with an unknown situation and a couple days later she was missing. inside the wreckage of paige s burned out car, her day planner.
house and disposed of the body during the seven hours or thereabouts before he called mrs. thayer. reporter: the defense attorneys tried to swat it all down and cal harris, himself, was adamant he had nothing to do with his wife s disappearance. it s one thing to say, look, i m innocent, i didn t do this but another thing to have so many people accusing you and pointing the finger at you. look. i m not guilty. i didn t do this. i didn t commit this crime. reporter: there was no body, no murder weapon and the defense said the forensics were unconvincing at best but the jurors weren t having it. june 2007 they came back guilty. cal harris broke down and sobbed. because i knew i was going to not see my kids. i knew i wasn t going to go home that night and i knew how they were going to be and it was overwhelming. reporter: but in the eyes of michelle s family, it was finally justice. and then?
