The article that was linked said she was seen on video leaving the bar.
There also where 2 linked articles that said friends (plural) saw her leave the bar.
These posts were completely ignored. Why?
It's terrible the amount of absolute confusion in this case. I encourage all to read this article.
"Police say Houston did not leave the bar alone and that surveillance video appears to show her leaving with two heavy set men. Authorities say that it appears she left willingly.
Our requests for the video and pictures was denied."
This is so frustrating. I understand we talk a lot about sloppy reporting, but this would go beyond sloppy. Its a very clear statement that she was seen on video leaving with two men!It's terrible the amount of absolute confusion in this case. I encourage all to read this article.

Wow. I'm not sure I saw that statement before. Well that's certainly interesting.Same source, four days later:
B’ham Police: Surveillance video in Paighton Houston case does not show 2 men she reportedly left with
"By Alan Collins | December 27, 2019 at 4:33 PM CST - Updated December 31 at 4:57 PM
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Sergeant Johnny Williams with the Birmingham Police Department said investigators have reviewed surveillance video from a bar where Paighton Houston was last seen and have not found anyone matching the description of the two men she is believed to have left with."
So we go from seeing her leave with two men to not having any footage of her leaving or of anyone in any of the video who look like the men she was supposed to have left with.
I think that's pretty significant and different from the first report.
I can't seem to find the exact quote about the "nothing useful" found on the surveillance video, but the links have been posted here several times.
I think the important thing about this statement is what's not said.
It does not say: "we never saw Paighton on the video" and it does not say "we never saw the two heavy-set black males on the video".
In fact I'm pretty sure I haven't seen any statement by LE saying either they did or didn't see her leaving the bar, or that they did or didn't see her leaving the bar with the 2 heavy-set black dudes. All that they have said so far, was that there wasn't anything useful on the video. That might seem nit-picky to some, but I do think it's important to make note of this.
Wow. I'm not sure I saw that statement before. Well that's certainly interesting.
This has been shown to be sloppy reporting, IIRC. Later reports indicate LE couldn't find anything on the video.
I've asked more than once for someone to show me exactly where these quotes are because I couldn't find them in the linked articles. And no one has done that, so until someone does I stick with my "we don't know if she was in that club or not" because every other report is based on the initial witness statement which has, at this point, zero corroboration publicly.
I understood what you said the first time. It’s a touchy subject. I sorts got jumped when I mentioned her drug use and was accused of “victim bashing”. The mods came on and said we can talk about PHs prior drug addiction and how it may play into what happened to her that night.To clarify previous comments only because it seemed to set someone off on a tirade. I went back and read my post just to make sure I didn’t mis-type or mis-speak, and I did not. It reads as I intended. It was not directed at the family. Not meant to bash or degrade anyone. I do not write between the lines. My reference to the fact that just because the family believed that ph would not do this that or the other , including making bad decisions. It would be naive for the rest of us to believe that with impunity. My reference to drug use was regarding previous drug use and a documented history of bad decisions. So I can in fact believe that Ph was capable of making a bad decision. I don’t know that she did or didn’t, only that it’s possible and that possibility opens up the array of what could have happened. I am not a fan of the OD theory. I’ve considered it could be one of several possibilities but not the direction I personally am leaning towards.
Family and friends gather for a prayer vigil for Paighton Houston
I must of missed your request. This article states friends. The other article does not say friends saw her leave. It says facebook friends said she did not know the men. Don't know why they would say that unless they where there & saw them I will link the article upon request
