I cannot find any MSM links to the surveillance tape story. I went through all the links in the thread. If @ArcadeKris comes back, maybe she or he can give us more insight.
I wasnt able to, either. Hopefully, ArcadeKris comes back.
One thing I find interesting:
As most MSM articles on Pauls disappearance do, Stillwater County Sheriffs Offices FB page says His [Pauls] vehicle was located in Reed Point Sunday evening, April 29th, 2018.

However:
At approximately 12:23 p.m. the following day, a Stillwater County Sheriffs deputy responded to a call about Batsons abandoned 2016 Dodge Charger that was parked on the street across from the gas station in Reed Point. Batavia, Ill., police were contacted in an effort to locate a phone number, but a number was not found. The deputy wrote on the cars window for Batson to call the sheriffs office.
At 8:35 p.m., dispatch got a delayed hit on the car, and learned the owner had been reported as missing by the Bozeman PD the previous day. A deputy returned to the location and noted the vehicle was extremely clean and the only items missing appeared to be Batsons cell phone and his wallet. People in the area were questioned, but none remembered seeing a man that matched Batsons description.
The car was impounded and a search for Batson was launched immediately. (BBM)

So how do LE know Pauls car was already in Reed Point Sunday evening when they werent made aware of it until 12:23 p.m. the next day? Perhaps it was caught on camera, possibly belonging to the gas station across the street.
Also:
Batson was last heard from at approximately 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 29, when he told his girlfriend he was at the Bozeman Public Library and had a meeting with the Bozeman Postal Service the following morning, April 30, according to police reports. (BBM)

And:
Batson last sent a text to his girlfriend in Illinois on Sunday from Montana, Batson-List said. There haven't been any texts or phone calls since. (BBM)
Batson's girlfriend reported him missing after speaking with Batson's family and calling hospitals and hotels in the Bozeman area, Batson-List said.

I wonder if Paul said something concerning in the text. Had he picked up a hitchhiker? Did he sound despondent? It would have been sent after they spoke around 4 p.m. on Sunday when he said he was at the library in Bozeman, and she reported him missing the same night.
It sounds like maybe there was something in that text the girlfriend immediately found concerning.
