Steve Koecher missing since 12/13/09! The family is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the resolution of the case.

His car was found abandoned in Henderson, NV at a 55 and over community, it had been there over 4 days.

Residents called the police when the car had been there for so long.

We have a rental house about 2 hours from Henderson & Steve has lived there for about a year.



I hope he is okay! It seems unreal that he is really missing.

Here is a link to his facebook with his pic. If anyone has any information please call.

Police are asking anyone with information regarding Koecher to contact the St. George Police Department at 627-4300 or the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department at (702) 229-2907.

He has been on the news in Vegas and St. George. There are putting his pic on milk cartons sometime soon.

I copied this post from webslueths, it has the links to the video, the last time Steven was seen.

Quote from Naegle :
I'm sorry I haven't been posting replies. I'll try to get some in today.

I've never heard of the portfolio. Off the cuff I would say it was a resume. These links have been on the news so I feel ok posting them here. One of the white cars driving by is Steven's, then you see him walking down the street.

I'm not sure where you all would dig, but you're the pros. Could you all look at craigs list or something and see if there's anything, job wise, that would appeal to Steven in the area of Henderson in the time range of November and the beginning of December? He's a communications major and has worked in the newspaper business. I don't think he would look for further work in window washing. I think that's just something to pay the bills, but anything is possible.

Steve Koecher

The last time the neighbors saw Steve was 10:30 pm Saturday night (12/11/09). John across the street said saw Steve & his car there for about 20 or 30 min and he was gone by 10:30 pm.

Sunday morning (12/13/09) a friend from his church ward called him and ask if he could teach a lesson that day.

Steve answered and said that he was in Vegas but he could come back and teach if they couldn't find any one else.

That was the last time anyone heard from him or saw him.

On Thursday the Henderson police called Steve's parents because his car had been at a 55 and older community, since Sun, abandoned.

His parents filed missing persons on Friday and hired a PI.

Lives in Utah? Maybe he has multiple wives like that HBO show Big Love?

Hope he gets found.

Quote from HollyGolightly :
I paid attention to the Elizabeth Olten case too! That is so tragic. I post on insessions, because I just read a lot of stuff about WS's and got scared away. You have to give them your ISP email address or work email-- you can't give a generic one, like hotmail, gmail, yahoo mail, etc.. So I never registered because of that..
Quote from Gray. :
Yeah, they just have a lot of issues with people who got banned coming back, I think. I really like WS because they are so careful with who they allow to post. Did you see all the stuff that Bustamante had online before it all got yanked off once they decided to try her as an adult?
Quote from HollyGolightly :
Yes, I saw all the videos and pictures of Bustamante. About a month ago, they were still available online. A member of insessions posted a flickr account with TONS of the pictures and video. Later on I will see if I can find it. So glad they're trying her as an adult. She's pure evil - she dug that grave DAYS before she killed poor Elizabeth..and there were two graves dug EEK! haven't kept up lately to see if it has been revealed who the second grave was for.
The Olsen case happened here in my town... It was incredibly shocking. In the paper it said she had expressed that she just wanted to kill someone to see what it was like. EEK!

I've been following this thread some... always hoping that when it's bumped that its for good news or some sort of update. I joined the FB group. I know its got to be incredibly hard for his family. Frown

The family put up a $10k reward not sure when, but I think it was around 3 weeks to a month ago.

There is a link to this announcement on the 'Help us Find Steven Koecher' FB group.

His remains? I really still have held out hope that he's still alive & just had a psychological break, like that student from Rice University did... I wonder what reliable information they got & who it came from. If he is deceased, I hope they find his body, so his family can bring him home & give him a proper burial. This is so sad. Frown

Thanks for the concern, prayers, and thoughts. We have been hoping for good news for so long but until now everything has led to dead ends as far as I know. They got a warrent to have a forensic examiner go through his laptop and they didn't find anything.

It seems no matter how they examined his life, looking for clues or reasons he might dissapear, he was just a nice guy looking for a full time job and hoping to find his soul mate and having trouble with both.

Maybe after this weekend there will finally be some answers.

I wish we could go out and help with the search but I think we are just to far away. Plus we have some kids and don't have any family close to watch them for us.

I hope there are some answers soon, Nikayla. I had been reading one website where people really hypothesised about his "lifestyle" and from what I understand the computer forensics seemed to dispel this "theory".. Unfortunately, I think his family members did read it, since his cousin was posting there.. and trying to stop all the insinuations and false info..

Anyway, I still think back to the last video footage of him walking in the neighborhood & the strange SUV that stopped right after he walked by. That's always bothered me.

If I lived in the area, I would volunteer to help search but I am all the way in Texas.. I hope they find him soon!!
