Steven Koecher
Susan Powell is not the only person missing in Utah. Steven has been missing for almost the same period with little media coverage. What do you think happened with Steve?
QUOTE He is a college graduate with a major in communication from the University of Utah, a returned LDS missionary who served in Brazil, an Eagle Scout who loves to play the guitar and wakeboard, and would be married by now if he could just find the right girl.
He moved to St. George last spring to look for work. He'd had a job in Salt Lake City at the Salt Lake Tribune, on its online edition, but didn't like working nights. All he'd been able to find in southern Utah was part-time work as a window washer. He rented a room, joined an LDS singles ward, volunteered for service projects, signed up as a Big Brother and talked regularly to his mom (Deanne), dad (Rolf) and four brothers and sisters.
The last act of record he did in St. George was at 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12, at Kmart, where he bought Christmas gifts for his brother Matthew's family.
It's not known if he traveled to Henderson, just outside Las Vegas about two hours from St. George, Saturday or Sunday. But on two cell phone calls with members of his St. George ward Sunday morning, he said that's where he was. The people he talked with reported he was upbeat and not at all evasive. In hindsight, they wish they had asked why he was there.
His car, a white 2003 Chevy Cavalier, was found on Thursday, Dec. 17, parked in a cul de sac in an upscale 55-plus retirement community in Henderson. It had been there since Sunday, neighbors said. A nearby resident, a retired U.S. Marshal, has a video surveillance system that is on around the clock. On videotape, Steven, wearing a dress shirt and tennis shoes, can be seen purposely walking away from the cul de sac just before noon on a clear, sunny Sunday morning...
