Paige Birgfeld was reported missing by family members.

Volunteers To Help Search For Missing Grand Junction Woman

Paige Birgfeld Is Mother, Exotic Dancer

Hundreds of volunteers will start a search for Paige Birgfeld on Saturday.

She is the missing Grand Junction mother of three and an adult dancer.

"We have tons of volunteers," said Connie Flukey, director of the Jennifer and Abby Recovery Center. She is co-ordinating the weekend search.

Birgfeld was reported missing on June 30 by her family. The next day, her 2005 red Ford Focus was found on fire about two miles west of her home.

"We’ve had people who have never been involved with the organization" call in with offers to help, Flukey told the Grand Junction Sentinel. "It’s been crazy."

Interest in the search for his daughter seems high, as well, Frank Birgfeld told the newspaper.

"It’s evidence that the community seems frustrated that they can’t personally do something," he said, urging people to search their memories for something that might turn into a clue, no matter how insignificant it might seem.

Searchers will have to provide background information to participate, Flukey said.

"We’ll take your state identification and give law enforcement a copy," she said. "If you don’t have it on you, you’re not welcome at the search."

The Jennifer and Abby Recovery Center started when the search for a missing mother and daughter consumed the area. Jennifer Blagg's body was later found in a landfill but her daughter, Abby, has never been found. Michael Blagg, the husband and father of the two, was convicted of Jennifer's death and is serving a prison sentence.

Police investigating Birgfeld's disappearance said she had two sides. To many, she was an active MOMS Club member, who taught Brain Dance classes to youngsters and sold kitchen utensils and baby gear.

She was also the owner of Models Inc., according to investigators, which provided exotic dancing, erotic massage and escort services. She was known to her customers as "Carrie," police said.

Models Inc. advertised on the Internet as “Colorado’s premier gentlemen service offering massage, dinner dates, or dancers for parties” with the “most attractive, worldly and open-minded male and female staff.”

Birgfield also goes by the names Paige Dixon and Paige Beigler.

After restarting her relationship with her first husband, Paige Birgfeld was known to have met with him Thursday in Eagle and to have spoken with him by telephone that night, telling him she was near her home, according to police.

Her first and second husband have cooperated with investigators.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Mesa County Sheriff's Office at 970-244-3500.
