Comments on: The Secret Life Of Paige Birgfeld

The Search For A Young Mother Exposes A Double Life

[doodle41]

I was just wondering if there had been any updates on this case. I saw 48hours.I had never seen it before until last night. I really enjoyed the way they handle the situation. So if anyone has any updates.

I don''t think she deserved this, but she definitely wasn''t thinking clearly on this. I do wonder why way back, she had such a fascination on ''dancing'' at a club like that.

There was a lot more to Paige than anyone knew.

I am confused on the comment tho that she was not a prostitute. Pros, escort, they are basically the same.

Hopefully there will be some closure; finding her body, charging someone and the charges stick and the person is found guilty.

As one of Paige''s friends who had to go on National tv to defend her... I am grateful to 48 Hours for doing a decent and fair telling of her story. Regardless of what her choices were she was a devoted mother and friend. She saw the best in people and lifted them up. She was not a prostitute. She did not live a lavish lifestyle. Her parents are not negative or giving up for selling the house and her furniture. They spent more than $100,000 trying to keep it afloat and have every reason to believe she was murdered. They kept the keepsakes and special things for her children. If Paige was found alive by some miracle she would probably be relieved that the *** house was sold.

She was left in an upside down mortgage which wouldn''t sell for the year she tried. If she had sold it she still would''ve had to pay on the leftover balance plus a new home.

Her kids had been through hell watching their father hold a gun to her head and beat her. She was trying to do everything she could not to take away their whole life and give them at least one small piece of stability.

Hopefully that answers some of your questions. Thank you to those of you who are kind and send well wishes to her family and friends. I wouldn''t wish this pain on anyone.

I feel sorry the ones who think she somehow deserved this. You must be a miserable and ugly person inside. But Paige would''ve been able to see some good in you anyway.

Talentedtoes,

Get real. She is dead. She did not just walk off leaving her kids and her money. She had a head on her shoulders, so she isn''t stupid. She''s dead. When she was missing for two days, nd not seeing her kids, one can say that she is dead. People like Paige don''t just walk off. This is a sad sad tragedy.

Hopefully the killer will have a conscious and spill the beans and confess or something. Justice will be served, I hope.

I did a search with her name and found out more. Way back, she wanted to be a stripper, and her mom said no. And some neighbors would see her leaving the house late at night.

[honeywestsd]

So many questions. How long had she been doing this? And when she went out on calls, who was baby-sitting? How often did she do this? And she was doing this WHILE getting back with husband #1? And why did she think she needed a home that cost $6000/month? I''m sure the kids loved the house, but come on, get real here. You get a smaller place.

She had to have been pulling in a lot of cash to bankroll this.

I''m guessing her family was horribly shocked to find out about this secret life of hers and also that she used to work as a dancer back then. Very sad.

[smurfcrusher]

Clearly she could see the benefit, but not the true costs of her decisions. Keeping the lavish lifestyle and home with the $6,000 monthly payment (and selling her - um, ''services'') was preferable to starting over with a modest lifestyle.

Sadly, her lack of good judgment proved fatal.

I am not blaming the victim here, but I simply cannot understand why Paige didn''t realize how dangerous escort services are.

[talentedtoes]

I enjoyed watching tonight''s program as I do every week, but what I don''t understand is why Paige''s family, not quite the first year anniversary of her disappearance, have begun selling her personal belongings? That''s not thinking positive, instead it is as if they have concluded she''s dead. I know that it seems that way, considering the cash they say that was left behind at her house, but I would think they should have hope, too, that she might be alive. I think most families in this type of situation would not write their loved one off as being dead so soon. Tonight''s ending really left me feeling that way.

Paige was the first dance teacher that my two oldest children had, and they still dance today because of her nurturing guidance-she was one of those people who positively shaped the lives of kids. It breaks my heart that her kids are without their mom-she was truly devoted to them and I never saw her without them. It still think of her regularly and truly feel for her family.

[drdavedmd]

This is such a tragedy. My heart goes out to her family and friends. I hope one day justice will be served and the killer will be caught.She is such a beautiful woman. We know that this was a murder because as the end of the show indicated, Paige wouldnot have abandoned her children, and also she would not have left her thousands of dollars behind. Don''t worry, Paige, we''re coming for you! Our thoughts and prayers goes to everyone who knew you......
