Now see, this is another question I have. Wasn't it mentioned that there was activity on Steven's phone on the 14th? Or am I looney toons?


His phone dialed his voicemail number on Dec 14th.

Of course, we don't know how many *incoming* calls/texts there were on the 13th and 14th.
 
Hi believe09 and thank you. The issue of mental illness has been discussed here. Steven does not seem to have any history, according to his family. He made quite a few seemingly odd road trips prior to going missing that we've struggled to make sense of. If this IS Steven they've seen at IHOP and IF he is roaming the streets of Vegas, I'm inclined to believe those trips may have been signs of some type of an impending mental breakdown.

I recommended that Steven's family call whatever LE they're in contact with and relate what I learned today. I will be using an alternate route coming home from work which will take me through the area daily - just so I can keep an eye out and have told Naegle to contact me if there's anything I can do to help.

I think there is something in the threads from family that says Steven has been a little depressed.
But we, WS, took that to mean, well, of course, he is only marginally employed, hasn't paid the rent or utilities, behind in the car payment, who wouldn't be depressed.
 
Thanks Fairy-will Naegle be reporting this to LE? Because the local PD may have a good idea of where he is likely to be squatting during the day. If he is sleeping at the IHOP, I suspect then that he has no "digs" in the area.

If this is Steven, then I am going to harken back to the Jody King case from June last year-Jody disappeared after a car accident in CT and washed out of a drainpipe, deceased, where he hid himself in the midst of a paranoid episode. It was not until the day before his remains were discovered that we had all of the pieces on Jody that would have led to a conclusion like that-what is terribly hard in situations like Jody's is that no one wants to air their laundry or someone else's on the WWW.

I reviewed Steven's threads (quickly I confess) and I see while we asked about depression and hinted at mental illness, no one seems to have run a check for any past history that might indicate he was chemically imbalanced or even schizophrenic. Jody was 28-but it turns out, of course, that the incident that took his life was not the first incident where he had shown signs of a troubled mind.

Has anyone applied this yardstick to Steven and have I missed it? I do not want to cause his family undue stress, but if Steven is not well than he is especially vulnerable to the Vegas streets I would think....

I remember Jody King's situation very well.
Steven's family seem a little guarded about some things.
But it has been over a month now,
unless there is some very good clue that we do not know about,
(I understand it, Naegle)
time to make a simple announcement.
 
If this guy at the IHOP is Steven:

then it is imperative that he be found ASAP. I am not going to describe what I think happened here, other than to say that whatever plans he had when he left his vehicle in Sun Anthem City went terribly awry. That being the case, he is totally alone emotionally. Having made this bad decision, he feels he cannot go back in time as he burned a bridge with his family, friends and church people.

The burning of a bridge is perception on his part, not necessarily a reality. So long as he perceives he has no future or no past to fall back on, he is in a very dangerous place (psychologically speaking).

I'm inclined to agree with you webrocket - up to a point. I feel that - IF THE IHOP GUY IS STEVEN - something pushed him over the edge. Perhaps some type of traumatic event - not a bad decision. IDK - I'm not an expert in this area. But I know there's no way for any of us to know what is happening in Steven's head if he has suffered some type of breakdown.

That being said, I DO NOT believe he intentionally burned any bridges. I do feel he may currently be at risk and needs assistance ASAP.
 
Now see, this is another question I have. Wasn't it mentioned that there was activity on Steven's phone on the 14th? Or am I looney toons?

I thought the activity on the 14th was someone checking voicemail.
 
Well if he was receiving texts, at least his phone would show those, and the authorities might be able to get those.

Naegle - Where there incoming/outgoing texts on his phone during the time he was missing?

I'm too tired and sick to go back and look now. But I don't recall the term "depressed" ever being used by the family. I recall Steven's friend from TX saying he thought Steven sounded a little down the las time they spoke.
 
I decided to register and stop lurking. You guys are doing a fantastic job!

Here is a recent post on FB
Is there any new information? Has the old, inaccurate stuff been removed yet? Any word on the unidentified body found in the Grand Canyon about 10 days ago?

This was the first I had even heard of this so I'm assuming its hogwash. Fairy, excellent detective work on your part. I have read back pretty far but cannot find the info about what exactly was in the car. Toys for his neice and nephew...there was a boys toy and a girls toy? I saw mention of several coats.

Im going back to read more so as not to stop the brainstorming process here with my questions.

Keep up the good work
 
I would not recommend it be anyone other than LE and said as much to Naegle. She has the exact address and a description.

This isn't one of the finer areas of our fair city, particularly at night. I wouldn't venture out to speak to the homeless folks - even with my son and my husband. PLUS, if Steven is there, it will be best handled by professionals who know what they're doing.

FYI - this area is referred to as the Boulder Strip. The casinos are perfectly fine and safe. I would not say the same about the surrounding area.

Nice job Fairy. Has anyone called LE yet on this info and find?

A male body was indeed found at the Grand Canyon on Jan. 5, 2010. Doesn't look as if identification was made yet.

Doh! How did I overlook that? My brain has to push info out in order to fit more in I guess
Thanks
 
That article is dated February 2008. So far LE has not identified the body spotted on January 5, 2010.

Thanks, I realized that about 2 seconds after I posted it. I had hoped I deleted fast enough, but apparently not. Maybe I should go to sleep. :)
