Let's Find Steven Koecher!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to keep you in the loop on the stories I've been following. This one in particular. I didn't know Steven, I don't know his family, I don't know anything about them other than what I've read. But I think it is absolutely heartbreaking when somebody goes missing. They have no idea where this young man is. I think the best thing I can do on my end right now is get the word out-- make some noise about the story. So if any of you have seen him or heard anything, contact the police immediately!

Here's the story, and you can join the "Help Us Find Steven Koecher" group on facebook for more details:

HENDERSON, Nevada (ABC 4 News) - Susan Powell is not the only missing Utahn. 30-year-old Steven Koecher has been missing about as long as Susan under circumstances that detectives are saying "just don't line up." ABC 4 spoke exclusively with Koecher's parents at their home in Bountiful.




Steven was last seen in the town of Henderson, just outside Las Vegas. What's troubling, his parents say, is there are no indicators that say he would've just abandoned those close to him. After almost a month of tracing dead-ends, his parents are beginning to fear he might have disappeared without a trace.



Koecher’s mom, DeAnne, says, “When we have something that we're working toward we have a little bit of hope, but the nights are very, very long.” His Dad, Rolf, adds, “When they're no longer kids, you don't worry so much, when they grow up, you know...I guess you always have to worry.” In fact, worry is all they've done since Steven, a St. George resident, first disappeared on December 13th.



His white 2003 Chevy Cavalier had been sitting in the cul de sac of a upscale Hendersen, Nevada retirement community for four days. A nearby resident who is a retired US Marshal, has a video surveillance system he keeps running at his home. The video shows Steven walking away from his car the morning he disappeared. His mom says, “He looks very purposeful, doesn't look disoriented, looks like he has a reason to be there.”



As for any other signs showing Steven might have felt troubled, his mom says they had spoken to him recently and they had a typical conversation. She says, “Nothing in my heart says he would stay away from us on purpose….Thirty years old, and probably wasn't exactly where he wanted to be in life, but handling it.”



The Las Vegas, Henderson and Saint George police agencies are all working the case. Just last week, police searched with helicopter, ATVs, even door to door canvassing. Much like Susan Powell, the search for Steven Koecher has also gone viral. His family has started the “Help find Steven Koecher” facebook page.



Steven is described at 5'10, 180 pounds, blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin. He was last seen wearing white tennis shoes and a dress shirt.
