ABC News Primetime Family Secrets: Missing Mom's Secret Life as an Escort
$19.95
From a single mother of three gone missing to a modern-day Cinderella forced to be a slave in California, this final episode of ABC News reports on two women's secret past and what happens when the truth finally surfaces. At 34 years of age, Paige Birgfeld was juggling teaching dance to kids and selling cookware with taking care of her own three children in Junction, Colorado. She also may have been an escort -- a shocking revelation that her father, among many, never learned until she went missing. Then, the idea of slavery existing in upscale America would shock most people, but for an exclusive gated community in Irvine, California, slavery was a harsh reality. At nine years old, Shyima was an Egyptian girl sold into slavery and shipped from Cairo to her masters' mansion in Orange County.Correspondents: John Quinones and Mary Fulginiti Airdate: 7/31/2007
