The Case of Paige Birgfeld 

I can

Poor man, we can feel the pain in his voice :(

P

That hit me hard

Me too, sad dads break my heart 💔😭

Really? Walfarts credit is ruining global communities.

Doing a better job than the cops it seems.

Most violent people and pedophiles shop at walmart, they fuel sex trafficking and other stuff, poor people are far too often just scum

and inadvertently helping people commit them lol

@@Chris_t0 You must be very poor, then!

How awful - god bless you Heidi.

I'm sure Paige is glad to have such a loyal friend, you have a good heart Heidi. Rip Paige.

Do you believe that Lester did it?

I'm so sorry you had to go through this but also, Paige would be truly proud and thankful that you helped. Do you know how her family are, especially her kids ? Xx

I am sorry for the loss of your friend. :( May I ask: were you aware of her escort service occupation or was that super hush hush not even friends knew? I realize that's a personal question, I just wonder if it might have been related to the fact she just simply never let anyone know about her "other life" which can of course be very dangerous.

Dang

Lol I love it then right in the beginning 197🌲. Lol

Tree young children.

DON'T FORGET THE WINK x

I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees 🌲

Lol that was my EXACT thought🤣🤣🤣

that sums up this case :)

Lawyer: I mean, c'mon... Look at em!

😂😂😂

there’s no way a guy named lester could be innocent 😭😭😭😩😂

To me, that would be evidence he didn't do it because who the hell is that stupid? If this guy killed her then he did everything else right and pulled off the perfect murder, but for some reason made the dumbest mistake of all? Maybe his ex wife framed him?

her stupid little lean forward "it should" was so cringey. Jesus christ lady lay off the testosterone

@@charmolettafranquestafiestayam lmao what? What part of testosterone makes you lean forward and speak softly exactly?

@Lassi Kinnunen 81 how in the world are speaking softly while leaning in and fighting someone at McDonald's related? What mental gymnastics did you have to do to make that comparison and actually think it made sense

@Lassi Kinnunen 81 yes but HOW is that the same part of testosterone. That's what I mean.

@Lassi Kinnunen 81 ahh okay I see what you mean in that way. I just have a hard time connecting testosterone with her action in general.

But why do we deserve that? Should we not feel as morbid as we are?

Great eye.

Don’t disrespect Peter Thomas and Forensic Files like that 😭

I thought i was the only one who got creeped out at night lol

Honestly, I like this style because it's so unique. I like the "morbid" ones too, but this is refreshing. His sarcasm isn't focused on the victims, but on the gall and stupidity of the murderer.

It's kinda shocking how pure the father is when his daughter was a literal prostitute.

I still ask that all the time...

Yeah I knew by 14 how badly humans could treat others. He must have led a nice life before that.

He must of got all the purity in the family then. Because she wasn’t pure. She was a dirty women that met the usual ending of used garden tool

You _would,_ and my wife and I _did,_ but *news flash* not everyone is as smart as you and us!

You would think so! 🤔🙄😞

They were high school sweethearts, probably had more pressing things to discuss. But it is a lesson that should be taught in sex ed "If you can't agree on something as simple as children, your relationship will not work"

Feelings can change over the years. One of them may have changed their mind, leaving the other one with a dilemma.

@@karaleetrapp "More pressing things to discuss" ROFL .... As teenagers they likely just wanted to hop in the sack, no discussion required! :)

Agreed.

Ditto

And yet it happens with such cruel regularity. My grandparents, my uncle, my friends, and the parents of so many of my late friends & acquaintances- they all had to attend their own children's funerals. It really seems unfair that I've survived. And I don't want to have children because they might be taken just as quickly & inexplicably. It's fucked up right?

I did 2012 it is terrible it takes years and you don't get over it you just it just gets easier to deal with

@@haij16 I know.

Agreed

Yes! Exactly.

I appreciate out police, we absolutely need them. They can detain you without arresting you so you can't really be on your way even if your not actually under arrest.

@Paul Hatz Cops don't have to read miranda rights anymore. They forgot so much and had to let so many people go over it that the govt passed a law about it.

Exactly!!!!!!

@@agirlisnoone5953 not true, if you are not under arrest they cannot detain you, if they get pushy just keep demanding a lawyer, if they ignore that you're laughing because as soon as it gets to trial you can have it all thrown out for ignoring your Miranda Rights.

There's something SO WRONG that we find our respite in a Brutal crimes show :) But Mike is just funny as heck and enjoyable to watch and to be fair, it's the RARE show that really hits me hard. It's a detached view of people we don't know. No worse than reading crime in the newspapers. But when it involves kids or other defenseless groups, then it gets tough to just let it slide off. But for the most part, Mike is like a teddy bear you hold when you go to bed. And i'm a 54 year old guy :)

It's funny because that's what I have always thought. I cannot believe the number of people I have known that have never discussed this before marriage! It is mind boggling. One of the most basic things. It's as if they gave no thought or talked about their hopes ands goals if life! (Cause for me that would have come up)

Sometimes it doesn't matter even if you do. I was very clear with my spouse before marriage that while I think kids are great, I did not want any of my own. He told me he never wanted kids either. Months into the marriage he said he'd changed his mind because he loved me so much he wanted a family with me. But he's also hinted that he always wanted kids, and only said otherwise because he wanted to marry me and was hoping I'd change my mind.

Finally someone else mentions it. I was like, WTF? Makes you wonder what the divorce rate is with high school sweethearts. Can't be good lol. You're not even the same person you were in high school by the time you're 25.

You should definitely discuss children before marriage,but they also married right after high school. It’s not uncommon for 18/19 year olds to feel very differently about wanting children in their mid 20s/30s then they did as teens.

What would be worse is finding out they don't want kids after you have kids. She did the right thing finding a different partner instead of taking it upon herself to bring a child/children into the first marriage. Definitely a conversation that needs to be had, ideally before getting married. BOTH partners should be on board BEFORE anyone gets pregnant. Birth control is so incredible now, it lends itself wonderfully to family planning.

😂

Lord M, The dog: (shaking his head) "I have senses 50,000X better than yours yet you hoomans don't listen to me. I quit!"

OK seriously though, our labrador passed away of cancer last year and after she was diagnosed, we realised that our GSD had been insistently sniffing the lab exactly where the tumours were (by the time we found out, half her abdomen) for months. She probably knew something was wrong way before we did. I'm sorry girl, I'll listen to you sooner in future, thank you for trying to tell me.

Lord Mysticlaw What a sad sweet story. This is why dogs are such good service dogs. They can sense oncoming illness & mood swings too. About your Lab...Don’t “should” on yourself. You loved & cared for your pup the best you could & that’s what’s important - the happy 💕 memories.

@@ice9594 Yep, dogs are the best service dogs. I tried a guinea pig once as a service dog. It got the dog part pretty well though but had problems with the service part.

@@mannyc4539 just speaking facts no 🧢

Perhaps at her home but a burning vehicle in a random parking lot is worth noting.

Well it's a good tip for would-be murderers. I'm tall, so if I ever murder a short person, I'm going to move the seat up after I'm done. Then wait for my OJ moment. If the seat don't fit, you must acquit.

My mom does this and she's under 5'. Makes it easier for her to get out and in case someone else drives it next. In this case, obviously someone who meant her harm did drive it but other cases are not so clear cut. Hell, a criminal may even push the seat back to mislead investigators.

That broke my heart 💔

God bless his heart

Pulled at the ol heart strings.

So sad...

Lol I saw this comment as he said it hahaha I love this man!!!

As a Mike stan I can agree🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

Love this comment! 😁 I am so here for him too! 🙋

I would absolutely leave him a turdytree dollar tip for that show

💯. A total badass.

Your standards are pretty low. She got absolutely nothing out of him. He was free for 5 years after her "badassery".

Honestly, this had serious Olivia Benson vibes

🤣 “whatever LES”

Mo Lester

I came to the comment just to say that LOL what a chad move

For what lol? She got absolutely nothing out of him. The dude went home and lived his life for another 5 years. And then he was still convicted on pure shite.

I use it now and then, love it.

He got me, I was barking, and I still am. I'm sure he did it, but that's still some flimsy ass evidence. The only thing that changed after 5 years was they found her remains ... which still had nothing to tie him to it than what they already had, other than what an ex wife said years ago. Oh he'd dump her remains in a remote location? Where else would a murderer dump remains? Had he told his ex he'd suffocate her with a pink polka dot pillow case, wrap her body in orange nylon cord, encase her body in lucite, and sign his initials, and then they found Paige like that, then maybe he'd look guilty, or maybe his ex did it to frame him hmmmmmmmm.

Totally agree. Mike has a way of telling the stories. No one does it like him. He keeps to the point and doesn’t drag it out and when he says “let’s give it a go” you are hooked!

Wait lol, "awesome" and "right out of a movie"? Were you being sarcastic? I mean, I was thinking the same thing, but not in a good way. I was thinking, holy shit, she's watched too many movies. In fact her lean in was so awesome the guy got to go live his life for 5 more years after it.

@@reignman30 ya I mean she set that up so dramatically like it was scripted , so the moment she did that was jist pretty cool

What an absolute B... she had no proof, there still is no proof.. imagine if he is actually innocent. Scary times to be an American. That could be you, being falsely convicted, and you seem over the moon about this case 🤦‍♂️

@@deezelkane I'm American too sir. What she did is a common interrogation tactic. Have you watched many police interrogations before?

@@deezelkane Also, if you think it's scary to be an American, google Japanese police interrogations. They can hold you for as long as they want and pepper you with questions for DAYS on end until the suspects finally crack and confess to crimes they didn't commit just to end the torture.

@@PinkyJapan yes it’s borderline coercion. It’s disgusting. I’ve seen many cases of a degenerate detectives doing this, and making innocent men be found guilty. America is disgusting

@@PinkyJapan I don’t care what them asians do, they have their own laws. I expect better from westernised places. This man got convicted with very little to go on. You should be very scared mate. Pray it doesn’t happen to you

"Does it bother you that when I looked in your room after midnight and didn't see you in there? It doesn't bother you. *leans in* It should."

Detective ：Did u make that mess in the kitchen? Me ：no Detective：thats incorrect...yes u did

I agree it reminds me of my mom. LOL

Moms are half detectives already

I gotta be honest, I'm surprised Lester didn't start laughing. That was pure cringe. She made it too obvious that she was bluffing. And he already knew she didn't have anything because even at trial they still had nothing. Because there was nothing lol. A public defender won the first case and got a mistrial lol. A public defender!! That's barely better than representing yourself.

they were high school sweethearts

Code word, he didn’t have enough money

Yeah and why would you try to get back with her after she had 3 kids by someone else?

You'd think.

@@dre3k78 I mean, Where is the self respect?

I was clapping for her like get him! 💪🏼

That's when he should have said. "I want a lawyer." And not answered another question.

Yeah I giggled pretty crazily at that line! Just went from the leaning back, asking questions fairly intensely, to the lean forward and almost threatening him:-)

@Cynthia Murphy Even if she can't get things out of him, which she totally did! His observed reactions to the female detective can give them a ton of info just by themselves

Lady Dick pointed hard right at his face. She warned him that he should be concerned. Please note the final outcome.

...or the 👻 ghost of Christmas past.

She was so cringeworthy. Women shouldn't be given that job ever

@@rjritch9196 I’m gonna sound like a white knight right now, but I’ve seen PLENTY of cringey interrogations from men in her position as well.

@@sosmooth13 I completely agree with that, but there's a certain dynamic between genders where the woman feels she has to act way more extra just to validate herself as the authority in the interrogation

Classic.

"shut the door!"

lol

Thought the same thing lmfaoo

LOL

She did that on purpose, just to screw with him. My best friend is named Les & gets really pissed when anyone calls him Lester. But then again, he’s a psychiatrist at a State Hospital that houses sexually violent predators, and Cho- mo’s are usually called Chester the molester. Which unfortunately sounds a lot like Lester.

That was on purpose.

not a Lady a detective, and its a tactic.

I think the others are correct regarding it's a tactic. But I don't think it's to screw with him. Les is a pretty common nickname for people named Lester, if im not mistaken. Most probably his mother and father did refer to him as Les, hence "Les" carries emotional value to him. It was a way to try to get on his good side. "Les.. Dont even say that to me, I don't wanna hear it".. That is how you talk to a child you caught lying, and I think that is what she is trying to do.

@@Magical_Thinking I think the term u mean is chester the molester. But lester is close enough.

What? She's nothing but a bully. And she got nothing out of him. In what universe does that make her good?

He got told

She is the worst investigator I've ever seen. It is cringe inducing. And an embarrassment to that department.

That investigator lady was the real g. She was awesome!

nah it was better when she asked what happend *hmmm incorrect, ok?*

It may have been the wrong time for that statement. She then tried to be friendly while offering lesser possibilities of an accident.

Went to pick up weed at the neighbor's the other day and she had Mike on. And luckily not a mic on

Scott Matznick That's awesome !!

Impeccable taste for a mailman.

That’s so funny

That's awesome.

She is awesome!! A badass.

Probably an interrogation tactic. Gotta get them reaaaal uncomfortable.

She's ignoring jurisprudence... why not ignore his right to respect in the court. The court ignored professionalism, social customs, unbiased fight for justice, and oath of office. It's typical behavior of a DA when they have no real evidence, and therefore need to manipulate the jury's perception of the defendants guilt. When evidence is scarce, dramatics and misrepresentation of the truth will suffice. Another disrespectful, self-entitled, self-righteous, authority figure shamelessly exhibiting abuse of power. Another agent of the gov't with a power trip.

And I'm not implying that the guy is innocent, I'm unequivocally stating that the charges against him were not proven... at all... and certainly not beyond a reasonable doubt.

@Hydra is any escort an open life, especially for someone with children?

Dustin’s police interview is like watching someone steal candy from a baby. “I don’t like lawyers,” he tells the cop interviewing him. Looool. TCAP rules.

Right? It was heartbreaking hearing his voice crack like it did. Seemed like a very nice man.

@@LovenEverythingNails He really did!

No motive, no history, nothing to gain. I still believe he did it, but yeah this is about the weakest case I've ever seen get convicted. It was so weak a public defender won the first trial lol.

I'm on the fence also BUT he was a very accepting of that guilty plea...not a shake of his head, slump of his shoulders or a look of shock....I know everyone reacts to situations differently but being found guilty of murder and kidnapping if you are 100% innocent??? You would think that at the VERY least a token " No...You're all wrong!" would be uttered. Pretty sure I'd be on my feet screaming my innocence.

Well it was obviously him

@@catscanhavelittleasalami I don’t know about obviously……

@@reignman30 Lester had a motive. He wanted to be Paige's client, but she refused to have anything to do with him. She was likely the victim of a rage killing, judging by the condition of her remains. Also, when police called him, they did not mention disposing of a body, but Lester asked if they wanted to know about that. The officer on the line was very surprised at the time, but just let him keep talking.
