Community Helps Out
One Grand Junction community member marched forth and spearheaded the search for Paige, investigators were incredibly thankful for Connie Flukey. Flukey’s strategy in the search was to divide and conquer – each day she broke up hundreds of miles into far more manageable search areas that everyone could cover on foot. “I got here about 6:15 to start getting things set up and people start showing up at 6:30. We had people almost, I mean, jumping all over me and waiting for me to get teams out,” Flukey said.
Thankful
Callie Birgfeld was overwhelmed by the community’s efforts, especially for Connie Flukey’s selfless help, “And she [Connie Flukey] just gave hope. We were starting to become so dejected. And she just walked in and took charge.” The Birgfelds were incredibly touched by everyone’s support, they remained hopeful that Paige would be found, and soon.
