told investigators that Paul abruptly left their campsite during the evening of September 10, 1999.

drinking. Paul's friend was awakened by Paul yelling and throwing things out of the tent before running
off into the forest. The friend got scared, grabbed his sleeping bag and spent the night about 75 yards
away. In the morning, he went back to the tent and saw that Paul had not returned. He hiked out and
reported the incident. Paul has not been heard from since.
