On a quiet December day in 2009, Steven Koecher—a 30-year-old devout Mormon with no known enemies—vanished without a trace in the Las Vegas Valley. His abandoned car and a haunting video of his final known steps only deepened the mystery surrounding his disappearance.

In this episode, I take a brief but immersive dive into the setting, painting a picture of the sunny streets and suburban sprawl that became the backdrop to Steven’s unsettling case. Then, we unravel the cryptic timeline leading up to his last known movements, exploring possible motives, connections, and the lingering question: how can someone simply disappear?

No fluff, no rambling—just a focused exploration of this perplexing case. Buckle up and get ready to step into the mystery of Steven Koecher’s final moments.

Come for the true crime, stick around for the life updates, and—of course—enjoy the chaos🌵🩷
