## Resource

On December 13, 2009, security cameras in Henderson, Nevada captured a man parking his white Chevy Cavalier at the end of a cul-de-sac in the Sun City Anthem neighborhood. He stepped out with something tucked under his arm, and walked purposefully down the sidewalk. He never came back. Two days later, the car was still there, but 30-year-old Steven Koecher was nowhere to be found. In the days and weeks that followed, Steven’s family learned of a series of odd, long-distance road trips he had taken in the days before he vanished. As they began to investigate, police were left with more questions than answers. What had drawn Steven to that upscale neighborhood on a Sunday afternoon? Did he walk away to start a new life? Did he meet with foul play? Or was something else responsible? Now, over sixteen years later, Steven’s fate remains unsolved, and his loved ones are still desperate for answers. If you have any information on Steven’s disappearance, please contact the Henderson Police Department at (702) 267-4750. You can also submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
