Many times on this thread, since Paul went missing and has not been located, the discussion has turned to either foul play or self disappearance. It seems to me that because nothing has turned up to indicate where he ended up in the park (off trail for sure) that those other two options take on new life.
I don't believe either one, though foul play would be maybe more possible IMO than Paul taking off to start a new life somewhere. He and his wife were on an anniversary trip, his car was found in the parking lot at the trail head, and maybe even if we take into possibility the sighting by Neil (previously posted here), then it comes down to basically Paul was hiking, was in a hurry because he had a plane to catch later, and he was ill prepared for temps and duration especially if he wandered off trail. Again, IMO, he probably did wander off trail and is still somewhere in the park. Hoping family finds some evidence this week while they are there searching.
