Paul Ryan Mahle, 35, of Orem, Utah, was last seen in Reno, Nevada, on February 24, 2021, after traveling there on February 20 to visit a friend. He reportedly visited a casino while in Reno, won some money and chose to extend his stay. Mahle failed to arrive in California for his son’s March 14 birthday celebration, an event he had planned to attend, and his family reported him missing when he did not make contact.

At disappearance he was without a vehicle and believed to be on foot. Mahle has a serious medical condition, arteriovenous malformation of the brain, which causes partial paralysis and seizures; his right side is paralyzed and he walks with a limp. He is left-handed, white, 6 feet tall, about 150 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes. Distinctive tattoos include a full Grateful Dead sleeve on his left arm, a handicap symbol on his left wrist, and Carly Sunflower across his chest. He was last seen wearing a tie-dye face mask, blue puffy coat over a black coat, grey shorts, marijuana-leaf print pants, tie-dye socks, black Nike shoes and a grey Park City hat.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Yucaipa Patrol Station is handling the investigation and the circumstances remain unclear. Did anyone in Reno or along routes to California see Paul after February 24, 2021?
