Here is today's update from the Grand Junction Sentinal:
Birgfeld search to begin Saturday
Friday, July 13, 2007
The Paige Birgfeld mystery has touched much of Colorado and people from across the state are inquiring how to join the search that will begin Saturday.
Telephones at the Jennifer and Abby Rescue Center rang busily all day from searchers as far away as Denver and Colorado Springs, Director Connie Flukey said.
The center will coordinate the search, which gets fully under way on Saturday at Grand Junction High School.
Searchers can register at the school today from 6 p.m. to dark. It will get under way at 7 a.m. Sunday when searchers will be given instructions about the areas they are to comb.
Searchers will go out for about three hours at most. Flukey said. When one group leaves, another will be brought in.
“The areas that searchers can cover are far more vast than what the sheriff’s office can do alone,” Mesa County Sheriff Stan Hilkey said.
Searchers must provide valid Colorado photo identification and could be subject to background checks.
Birgfeld, 34, has been officially listed as missing since June 30, but was last seen June 28. Her car was discovered in flames on July 1 about two miles from her home in north Grand Junction.
She is 5-foot-4, 110 pounds and has sandy hair and hazel eyes. She was last seen wearing a blue strapless top with flowers and blue denim shorts.
