Why'd he stop his car in the middle of the bridge? I hope he's okay somewhere. This isn't sounding good in any kind of way.

ETA - PS: Ty for the updates, @mlhenn. Your efforts are appreciated.

It’s the least I can do!

I agree it doesn’t look good, especially with him stopping on a bridge!
It stated he was driving back from a Lyft or Uber drive he had as a job, so what happened to make him decide to stop on a bridge then of all times?

This case saddens me.

Wish there was some type of update, closure of some sort at least..

Latest Update

DECEASED
Remains found; Identity Confirmed

Remains found in July in Muscatine have been identified as a Blue Grass man who has been missing since July 2020.

The remains were examined by the Iowa State Medical Examiner’s Office in Ankeny, Iowa, and have been identified as Paul Merrill Campbell, 51 when he went missing.

The Muscatine County Medical Examiner’s Office responded to the 2500 block of Wiggins Road in Muscatine shortly after 1 p.m. July 7 for human remains found, says a news release from the Muscatine County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Surveyors performing work near the Mississippi River levee found the remains.

Radiograph images were used to establish a positive identification.

Makes me wonder how much money he had in his wallet that was left in the vehicle. Could he have been robbed then forced over the bridge? The article doesn't say anything about a continuing investigation. I suppose the case is closed.

Rest in peace, Paul.
