I'm not finding any details about him at all.

I believe his father may have or still is an FBI agent. Maybe they kept everything regarding the case internal.

That's possible.

The BCA does this every year to give families to come forward to provide samples of DNA.

Steven isn't even listed on the BCA missing person's area of their website.

I wonder if they just assume he left on his own accord and this is why there is very little information. You could send an email to the email listed above, and ask questions about why there is very little detail. Heck, you could even ask on the Facebook page for the BCA.

Bumping for Steven, now missing 36 years

 

[ep1999]

From searching on classmates.com, I found that Steven was a graduate of the since-closed Eisenhower High School in Hopkins, MN (next to Minnetonka), class of 1981. His senior portrait from the yearbook is one of the photos on NamUs. Notably, the yearbook refers to him as "Steve Shimota", so it's possible he went by "Steve".
