Real people, real crimes, real life drama. Grand Junction is situated on the western slope of Colorado, and it's very mountainous and beautiful. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but one thing is apparent, it is very tough to rain to search in. There are hundreds of thousands of places where you could hide the body and we might never find it. I'm Frank Bergfeld. I'm the father of Paige Meredith Bergfeld. She's the mother of three children. My sister did not return from a meeting she had with a previous husband of hers. Paige was within five miles of the house here in Grand Junction and disappeared. My sister was missing. You start asking, missing, what do you mean missing? My name is Pete Houdsinger. I'm the district attorney for Mesa County, Colorado. We're looking at somebody who has disappeared. We don't know why. I said, you're in the midst of a crime. This is not someone who would run off. Paige would have never, never abandoned her children. Loves her kids appears to be a typical divorced mom, lives in a nice house in one of the nicer neighborhoods in Grand Junction. They found her car abandoned in a parking lot and lit on fire a couple days after she went missing. This led investigators to believe that there was foul play involved. We search fields, national parks, mountains and I am committed to search for her until we find her and bring her home. Then we started finding out some things that really pretty much changed everything. First you find out Paige is missing and then within a couple of days we started finding out about this other life that we didn't know about. You start hearing things about your own daughter that you didn't know about. We got more details about the extent of Paige's business and the type of person she was and the type of lifestyle she led. After Jess was born she told me that she wasn't doing it anymore. She kept all these secrets from her friends and family. She said she had been making 400,000 a year doing it and she didn't need to do it anymore. She had a couple things on her computer. I said okay well that certainly puts a different twist on this investigation. Where is my girl? She may be a 34 year old woman, a mother of three children but to me she's just my little girl. I'm Erin Moriarty. Tonight I'm 48 hours. The secret life of Paige Bergfeld. We first brought you the story of Paige Bergfeld in 2008.
