Carlson says Encana Oil and Gas, who cut ties with the company, has paid some of the invoices.

Many of the employees were paid. but this morning, between 8 and 10 workers gathered outside the Grand Junction office, told they could speak to the owner and possibly get money.

That was between 9 and 10... several hours later, the owner hadn't shown... and a secretary called the police. Calls to the owner went to a full voice mail box today.
