calls. no wire transfers. nothing suspicious. nothing at all, really. jones himself, on the other hand, well, there were just too many holes in his story. for starters, no alibi the night paige went missing. even worse, jones admitted that when paige s car was set on fire, he was at bob scott r. v. s, practically across the street. you re there. by your own admission you re there when the fire s i understand that. tell me that. explain that. i can t explain it to you. and guess what they found at jones work site? a discarded package that once contained a pre-paid, tracfone, the disposable kind that doesn t reveal the identity of the user. except on the package was the phone s serial number. and from that, we were able to determine that the phone was bought at walmart on north avenue. so they got the security camera video and, well, well, well, the buyer looked a lot like lester ralph jones. why was that important? because someone using that particular tracfone called pa
his door. right. i m sure he had some expectations, right? i mean, he called an escort service. he well, he let it be known almost immediately that he wanted sex. linderholm said that didn t happen. instead they talked for an hour or so and then she left. couple of days later, she said, she called paige. it s carol, where the heck are you? got no response. at first i thought she was just busy and she couldn t call back. then when i heard on the news that the kids actually went to the police department about it, that s when i knew something terrible had happened to her. paige, this is carol. oh, i hope you re all right. i hope this isn t rob. oh, my god. linderholm mentioned paige s second ex-husband, rob dixon, because she knew paige was afraid of him. then the next day, linderholm heard about paige s car and the fire. i wanted to go over and look at it, and i arrived just in time for it was put on a
ex-husbands to investigate. ron beigler, the last person known to have seen her alive, and rob dixon, the man she told friends she lived in fear of. most people that she knew, friends, believed that rob dixon had something to do with this. so he pops right up to the top of your list? absolutely. he and rob beigler, both. as for hard evidence, there was very little. except for the investigators little secret, the one bit of evidence they d been hiding from everyone, even the birgfeld s something that by pure luck survived that car fire, paige s day planner. the melted dash had fallen down onto the floor covering up the day planner and so it was protected from the heat as well as from the fire because it had an upper layer on it. what sort of condition was it in? it was in i mean, it was smoke damaged and it had heat

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
