What Happened to Lester
It was 2014. Seven years after Paige’s disappearance, police had finally caught up to Lester Jones. Lester faced off against Paige’s loved ones in court. Among them was her oldest daughter, Jess. His first trial happened in August 2016. But the jury quibbled over the verdict, with the court ruling a mistrial.
But another trial was set after two months. Here, they found him guilty for the murder of Paige Birgfeld. The court sentenced him to lifelong incarceration, with no possibility of parole. He continues to suffer for his crime. But the scars inflicted on the Birgfelds ran deep.
