90 Day Fiancé Star Paul Staehle Clarifies “Missing In Brazil” Reports; Blames Phone, Boat Issues For Poor Communication
According to him, while on their way to a floating house in the Amazon, he and his companion encountered some mechanical issues with the boat. His companion left him alone temporarily to attend to the problem. Feeling nervous, Paul reached out for help, but fortunately, his buddy could fix the boat, and they continued their journey as planned.
Upon arrival at the floating house, Paul realized that he had forgotten his phone charger, and to make matters worse, the cell service was weak. This significantly limited his ability to communicate with his family back in America. After several alarming text messages with her son, Paul’s mother feared he was lost somewhere in Brazil. Meanwhile, Paul’s wife, Karine, posted some cryptic messages on social media to raise awareness and alert people in Brazil about his situation.

Paul has denied that his recent disappearance was a publicity stunt. He says that his family was assuming the worst when they could not contact him. Paul also claims he did not want the story to become public and was surprised by his mother’s reaction and the subsequent media coverage. However, this is not the first time Paul has gone missing. Last year, he and his son were named in a missing persons police bulletin in Kentucky before eventually turning up. This previous incident likely contributed to his family’s reaction to his recent disappearance.
