Hi all, since no new information has come out lately, frustratingly enough, I haven't really had anything to contribute to the discussion. Just a few thoughts though. I am still baffled as to who called Steven's cell phone the day after he disappearaed. Personally, I have owned several different cell phones and have used a couple of different phone companies (AT&T/Cingular and T-Mobile) and have never had to enter a password to check my voicemail. I just press "1" and hold it down and that will dial my voicemail. So it is very possible someone else could have been checking his voicemail, just to see if he were "missed" yet, or it could have been Steven checking to see if anyone had "missed" him yet as well.
The neighbor sex offender sounds like a major creep and should NOT be on the streets (rape of a CHILD?! My god!) yet I would be shocked if he has anything to do with Steven's disappearance. Yes, Steven was naive and looked young, but he was 30 years old, and although I'm not sure of the statistics, I think it's safe to say there are very, very, very few sex offenders out there who prey on grown men. So I'm ruling this DS sex offender guy out at the moment.
I have to admit that Steven being gay is still one of my top theories, especially now since Fairy has talked to people who say this is true. If this is the case, I'm not surprised that Steven has not contacted his family. Like Laytonian mentioned, Steven seems like he is very much into his religion and the LDS "laws" of living (he didn't even have ONE vice, from what I can tell...maybe he needed one!) If he is indeed gay and took off alone or with someone else to live that more truthfully, he may still feel ashamed or guilty, or he may feel that despite his family's pleas that they will love him and accept him regardless if he comes back, he may not feel that is actually true. And I have to admit, if that was my family, with all due respect, I don't know if I'd really believe that either. It could also be the case, of course, that Steven WILL contact his family eventually. It has only been a few months, after all.
I just wish some new information would be released or come out. I also wish we could see what websites he visited in the months before his disappearance. A list would be nice, even if the family doesn't think those sites had anything to do with his disappearane, as sleuthers perhaps WE could find a clue. I doubt this is a realistic hope, but would it hurt to ask Naegle? (Hint, hint: paging Laytonian).
