Where was Paul driving to? Why would he leave his car in High Bridge area, if he had no connections to the area? I hope that he's safe.

A Golden Alert for a missing person in kentucky means the person has a medical issue or mental disability.
If Paul has a mental impairment that might explain why his car was found in area that he had no connection to.
Maybe Paul forgot what his destination was just confused with directions to get there.
I am curious if his car was still in working condition.

I want to think it's over 250 ft from bridge to water. People (teens/young adults) used to hang out and often climb the structure. I don't know if that holds true now, though.

I remember walking across that bridge once, back when I was in college. Yes, people used to go for the adrenalin thrill.
