In late 2009 Steven Koecher was struggling.  He was having trouble finding steady work and was falling months behind on rent.  In December, Steven spent nearly 2 days driving across Utah and Nevada.  He didn’t tell anyone about these trips and the reason for them remains unknown.  On December 13, 2009, Steven drove from his home in St. George, Utah to Henderson Nevada, more than 130 miles away.  He parked his car in an affluent neighborhood and walked away.  He has not been seen or heard from since.SOURCES:https://searchingtruecrime.wordpress.com/2022/05/11/ep-6-steven-koecher/
