An Anniversary

June 28, 2008

Today marks one year that Paige Brigfeld has been missing from Grand Junction, Colorado. It was one year ago that she went to meet her first ex-husband for a picnic. After leaving him to return home, she vanished. Phone records indicate that she was within five miles of her home - just five miles.

The Abby & Jennifer Recovery Foundation continues the search. The group’s leader, Connie Flukey, continues her relentless search for Paige. Why does she keep searching? “Because we haven’t found her,” she says in an interview with KREX-TV in Grand Junction, an interview that was done while she was out searching. “Right now, I’m angry. Somebody out there knows where she’s at, and yet, we’re spending all this time, effort, energy, our heart, and somebody knows.”

Is this kind of dedication unusual? No, many missing persons have dedicated searchers but, sadly, not all of them do. Saddest of all, to me anyway, are the cases of unidentified and unclaimed remains because those were people, loved family members. For each of those people, somewhere there is a family in anguish that is wondering where their loved one has gone.

Connie Flukey and the A&JRF are determined to bring Paige home. How can Connie Flukey afford to continue this search? “We can’t. But we just keep doing it.”

If only every case of someone missing had such dedicated people looking.

    May justice come soon for Paige and her family. Connie’s dedication and desire not to let Paige be forgotten is incredible. May those 3 young ones find some peace and comfort today despite their huge loss this past year.

Got something to say?
