- Perhaps Paul crawled out to Buster's truck and used the CB to call for help, or found the keys and simply drove into town. We don't know if Buster told anyone he was going to Anne Wilkes and even if he didn't, his wife definitely wouldn't have waited long before she got worried about him being gone. If he wasn't back in a few hours she would've freaked out. You could tell how much she was still in love with him. All someone would have to do is talk to the General Store guy to find out Buster was asking about Anne Wilkes before someone would head out there.
2.I think he is downplaying how messed up he is now b/c of that whole ordeal. He obviously wants to put it behind him though as he denies his publisher's request to do a non-fiction book on what went on in the Wilkes' home.

- The store owner. If Buster went missing, they would of talked to everyone in that small town and find out he was asking about Annie.
- I guess you never encountered anything bad in life to understand what PTSD is, doesn't make you scared. Many Marines and soldiers come back with PTSD and I can assure you they're not scared.
I have a friend who's a Marine SGT amd now a fire fighter, he have seen so much that it completely changed him, but I wouldn't say he's scared at all.

I often wondered that himself. Annie took the guts out of the phone. Paul's legs were still screwed up, so he couldn't walk or drive. And the sheriff didn't tell anyone where he was going (or at least the movie didn't show it). Even though he had talked to the shopkeeper, who would have thought to ask him about any conversation with the sheriff. His wife did have an idea that the sheriff thought Paul's disappearance was suspicious and knew he was reading the books, but it sounds like Annie was pretty much unknown to anyone in the town except maybe when she bought his books. Someone investigating the sheriff being missing might eventually go to the store owner but it probably would have been quite a while.
