I just have this nagging feeling that this is voluntary. Not sure why- just a hunch.

RSABBM for focusThe skip in the PO surveillance tape is so interesting. I think it might be the key to the whole thing.
Yes, I've thought so too from the beginning.
Did Paul know of some way to remotely disable or disrupt PO surveillance cameras? Maybe that sounds like a stretch, but the timing is so unbelievably precise for it to be a simple coincidence, IMO.

The way the phone was allowed to run down suggests self-harm to me; or he got a new phone unbeknownst to anyone and has decided to attempt to start a new life. However, to attempt to do so in the wilds of Montana, alone, with no experience living there, may well be suicide in and of itself.
He never made it to the April 30 meeting at the Bozeman Postal Service:

TIMELINE
Batson is reportedly a United States Navy veteran and a current U.S. Postal worker from Batavia, Ill., who was in Montana checking out Butte and Bozeman as possible transfer cities, said Stillwater County Sheriff’s Sgt. Randy Smith.
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.
Batson never showed up at that meeting. After calling hospitals and multiple attempts at making contact with him, the girlfriend reported Batson missing to the Bozeman Police Department.
At approximately 12:23 p.m. the following day, a Still-water County Sheriff’s deputy responded to a call about Batson’s 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 car’s window for Batson to call the sheriff’s 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 Batson’s cell phone and his wallet. People in the area were questioned, but none remembered seeing a man that matched Bat-son’s description.
The car was impounded and a search for Batson was launched immediately.
How did he get to MT?

I’m sorry if it has and I missed it: Has this been reported in MSM?
Oh no! That article makes me think he wasnt the one driving. I think Bozeman and the 84 miles in between need to be searched. I wish ArcadeKris would come back and tell us more about that area.

Let me go back and check. It may not have been. I'll edit when I've figured it out.

It was originally reported that the missing footage was from a camera at the gas station across from the post office. Was that reported in error? Does anyone have a link stating the camera footage was from the post office, not the gas station. Thanks!
Is the car his or a rental?

Do you mean did he drive to Montana from Illinois or from Colorado? Or do you mean did he fly in/then rent car -- or drive the whole way?
I'd be interested in questioning whomever had access to the cctv with the missing minutes. Seems far too coincidental to me.
