A different case "coincidence". Might explain lack of early interest/lower profile for this Stephenson case.
I don't know about anyone else, but ... I found it a bit odd that this May 27th 2011 double murder (Stephenson) was not posted here as a thread at WS until 2017. And that between 2017 and 2023 this case thread is still on it's first page. I've been a member since 2008. How did I miss it? Perhaps this crime was overwhelmed by other events at the time? One event was that May 27 was the Friday of Memorial Day weekend in 2011.
But ... with a quick check ... I realized there WAS something else that had the nation's attention.

Timeline of the Casey Anthony case - Wikipedia
from wikipedia:
May 28, 2011 – Former boyfriend testifies about Casey's normal behavior on June 16, 2008. Cindy Anthony testifies that they swam that day and that Caylee could get up the ladder into the pool. She also believed Casey worked at Universal Studios Orlando Resort and had a babysitter named Zanny.[52]
May 31, 2011 – Cindy Anthony says her description of Casey's car smelling "like someone died" was just a "figure of speech." She tried to get rid of the smell by spraying Febreze household odor eliminator. She says she found the pool ladder in the pool the evening of June 16. Casey's friend Amy Huizenga talks of Casey's frustration about getting help with Caylee and reveals that on June 27, Casey texted her about a dead animal on the frame of the car.[53]
