Hiker Stumbles Upon The Truth
It wasn’t until Spring 2012 that a hiker found the truth. This hiker was out exploring a dry creek bed some 60 miles south of where searchers had discovered Paige’s personal items scattered all over Highway 50. “A hiker in the Wells Gulch area just happened by a human skull, and when they unearthed it, it had duct tape that was sort of around the jaw line area and around the back of the head,” Rubinstein said. But the question on everyone’s lips, was it Paige?

Forensic examiners located even more bones scattered along the creek, so they immediately got to work. Those same examiners came to the conclusion, after many tests, that the remains did indeed belong to Paige Birgfeld. For the Birgfeld family, this was a bittersweet ending. But at least it had an ending. However the path to justice was far from over.
