he had to solidify funeral arrangements he was sobbing and hand were flying and he was jus like, i don t know what i m going to do. and just very upset. and we believed him as she told the detectives, coralluzzo took the firs available flight back to new jersey. and that was that. the detectives thanked her and left. didn t mention a thing about paige birgfeld. and then the very next day megan wa watching the news on tv and sa the story about the burned out car. her car was found ablaze, i this parking lot, off 23 road. and then i saw the paige s face come across the news. and i looked at my ex-husband tim and i said, that s what happened. i said, he murdered that woman. i just it hit me. then of course she had to know, was that wild story abou a decapitating accident in new jersey just coralluzzo s excus to run from what he had done t get out of town? i scoured the internet an made phone calls
the one man she said she feared? we were able to corroborate with his employer that he was in the philadelphia area at the time. and rob dixon s cell phone connected to a tower in pennsylvania the night paige disappeared. and three days later when he left this message on paige s phone. paige, if you get this, please, please, call somebody. i love you. please, please, please, let us know you re okay. still, there were caveats to dixon and beigler s alibis. that doesn t eliminate them as far as having some involvement and maybe paying somebody. then there was the list of clients coralluzzo at the top of it given he didn t have a solid alibi and skipped town right after her disappearance. coralluzzo was the one that was most concerning. not to mention coralluzzo s friend jose tavera the one with the big burn on his arm.. i said well, i said, i burned myself at work. who swore he did not help
