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.

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

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.

In my mind, he slammed that door and sat the boys down then lit a match and it all went poof. (The social worker did say she smelled gas.) That made me hopeful that it was over before the boys knew what was happening.

Just reading an updated story though tells me it wasn't that nice and neat. What kind of person uses an axe on their own children? Weeping

Watching the abc story on the Powell situation/case and they brought up Koecher. I'm at my mom's and sat here I'm shock hearing Steven's name as being 'involved' in the Powell 'fiasco'. I need to rewatch the piece when I'm at home alone.

I really wish they hadn't released that part of the autopsy. It served no purpose and only caused more anguish for the family members. Mad

I saw a news story today that shocked and angered me, the authorities really dropped the ball on this whole case.

Quote :
(CBS/AP) SEATTLE - Late Thursday, authorities told the Associated Press a computer in Josh Powell's home two years ago had computer-animated images that depicted "incestuous" sex.

Pierce County Sheriff's Detective Ed Troyer said the images discovered by investigators were realistic, computer-generated depictions of incestuous parent-child relations. The images were disconcerting enough that they prompted a psychologist to recommend last week that Powell undergo an intensive psychosexual evaluation.


A lawyer for Powell's in-laws was not invited to see the materials before a custody hearing last week. Attorney Steve Downing said if he has seen them, he might have asked the court to change the terms of Powell's supervised visitation with the boys.



On Sunday, a social worker drove the boys from their maternal grandparents' home to their father's house.

It just gets worse and worse, gives me nightmares! I can't imagine being locked on the other side of the door and hearing the boys start screaming. Poor social worker, or maybe I can imagine how horrific it was Frown vomit (hmm, we need a sadvomitsmiley)

It is going to keep getting worse but maybe there will finally be answers. The bloody quilt/blanket found in Josh's storage unit ... it's being tested but most likely will be a match for Susan.

They did have some pictures and coverage of Steven in the episode. Not much, it was mostly how Josh was trying to shift suspicion to Steven saying that Steven and Susan had ran off together.

I am sure almost everyone wishes that were true because then maybe nobody would be dead.

I hope Steven is ok and his story doesn't have such a tragic ending.

Thanks hug
His FB page has stayed active. A lot of people are still looking for him.

It is just so strange how he vanished, and disturbing.
I think most of us live under the illusion that we are almost always safe. You just never know, always be aware of your surroundings and anything remotely suspicious.
