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.

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.

Oh goodness, I hope he's located safely and just decided he needed some time alone. When was he last seen?

omg! Was there any reason for him to be there, at the 55 and over Community? Maybe a family member/parent, and he went somewhere with them? Are the police investigating at all?

:prayer: for a safe return for him!

I know me too! Pray We think he was seen last leaving the house a day before we got there. We stayed over night on our way home from visiting family (we kept the masterbed bath for us to use like a hotel room & have our own entrance.) I peeked in his room to see if he had skipped out (he is late on rent) and his room had been tidied up but lots of stuff still there.

His family said no they have no idea why her would be there. They don't even know anyone in Henderson.

That is a good question! There was no sign of $$ or hamsters when they found the car.

I hope they find him safe too. I didn't really know him at all but DH said his mom i s totally freaked out & worried. His whole family is.

Quote from farkedup :

I have only met him a few times but I don't think he was. He is a returned missionary and seemed clean cut. I couldn't say for sure though.

He lost his job about three or four months ago and was doing temp jobs. We figured maybe he was looking for work or something work related & that is why he was gone.

The PI is having the family get Steve's laptop to him so he can look for clues to where he went.

I assume they've filed a police report and the police are investigating as well?
