coming up at trial the defense goes hard at the original lead detective in the case. did you actually receive an official reprimand for the poor quality of work you did in this case? maybe the case against jones never stood a chance. if you re doing shoddy work in the beginning, your investigation becomes sick. it s almost impossible to make
forgiveness! i want you to know how much i love you. you re the best thing that has happened to me. please forgive me! and then he added this, tell thes to the cops to get[ bleep ]. i never did it, but i can t be railroaded. jones recovered quickly but his actions that day remained a mystery because he wasn t talking anymore to investigators. the evidence was definitely pointing toward lester jones. but we still had to keep an eye open on mr. livingston, mr. heald, mr. coralluzzo. and remember that these are the ones we know about. is there somebody else out there we don t even know about yet? didn t help when lab results from paige s car came back negative. the fire burned it clean of evidence. so the sheriff s office turned to a volunteer search dog team for help. and sure enough, the dogs appeared to hit on jones scent in paige s charred car. and then they sniffed their way down this gravel road that dead ends at the gunnison river. when given paige s scent, the dogs follo
named john livingston, who, the night paige vanished, called her again and again from a motel 6. desperate, apparently, for her attention. yeah, this is john at motel 6, room 237. except there was no evidence paige ever went to see him. but then there was this client, lester ralph jones. that s him standing in the shadow of his front door. investigators got a tip about jones from this friend of paige s named carol linderholm. paige had scheduled an appointment with jones the night before she disappeared. but for some reason didn t want to go, asked linderholm to meet jones instead. and he was expecting her. and then i think and then you showed up at
