Despite extensive searches and investigations, his disappearance remains unsolved, leaving many questions unanswered. Stay tuned as we delve into the intricate details of this perplexing case.

This is old so you probably will never see this, but as a Las Vegas local, born and raised, hearing you say Pecos makes me laugh so hard. I wanna start saying it the way you do, it sounds so fancy lol.
@shaired842
This is so strange, I know the neff family, my family also owns a ranch out there.
@SomethingSomethingg
What very people know is that Steven's brother drowned. I didnt realize this until I read he speech he wrote where he briefly mentions this. Whether it's a biological brother or a close friend who was like a brother to him this is yet another clue that points to suicide, imo. Certainly depression and possibly guilt.
@karentucker2161
I hope that he gets found or at least we find out what happened to him. The landlord sounds very suspicious 🤔 to me.
@CaddyJim
You mentioned the DiMaggio house had a detached living quarters at their son lived in but you said it's in the back by my Google Earth pictures it's in the front
@CaddyJim
A couple interesting aspects when you use Google to look at this area you were wondering if he could have wandered out into the desert but that's a current Google picture we don't know when the surrounding housing communities were built if they were there or not. When it comes to Google when you go to street view you can go back in time but oddly the surrounding they go back to 2007 but every time Google does a street pass it never goes into this community which is not gated which seems strange why they never go into overlook village?

What hurts my heart is, what a lovely man he seemed to be. How absolutely lovely he was
Am I the only one who doesn't think there's any mystery here?
Seems to me that he had a different bank account, maybe in a business name, got a new phone and laptop and a job and disappeared.
You may really love your family, but to be 30 and have this level of control by your parents would be so stifling. Sure, they love him. But this is beyond smothering.
Maybe something bad happened to him. But I'm hoping he just felt like kicking back and then thought, you know, I am just going to go off grid.
The gifts in the car isn't a sign he was coming home. He knew the car would be found with the gifts inside and hoped people would know he loved them and had been happy when he bought them.
No arguments, no mental health issues. Maybe he wanted to become a singer, anything really. He may have wanted to leave the LDS.
Why the landlord would give his laptop to his parents is beyond me.

i'm starting to wonder if some drug dealers lure him away and held him captive for some ransom????

I watched Arrin Stoner's coverage of this case too… I was wondering if it was possible that Steven was taking the fliers for the window cleaning company to affluent areas that they didn't cover in hopes of securing a same day job and keeping the money rather than involve the company? People in my area do things like this to make some quick money…It also makes me wonder if he was naive enough to do a d**g runs for someone without knowing what he was transporting… with all the strange travel, it could make sense.
@stacieransom5677
Sounds to me like he was baited. Possibly a job prospect and got the run around. That could explain several factors.
@bethelasefaw6317
there is a large mormon subculture in vegas ironically and near his first cellphone ping in vegas there is a mormon church
@bethanyespinosa728
Steffanie I want to say how I really appreciate how respectful you are to all religions. I grew up Mormon and even though I am not active in that faith anymore it is refreshing to hear someone not bashing on it. I have family who are still active in that faith so I still respect it and appreciate it being talked about more matter of factly then it being trashed on just because the views are more strict. Also your videos help me get through long work days and I want to say thank you for that too. Keep up the great work! Your podcast are my favorite and the only true crime I will listen to!
@Moony-
My dad knew him. He had gone to a movie with him the night before his disappearance was reported. He said that nothing seemed off and he still is baffled about what happened to him to this day.
@bohobutterfly7911
"That doesn't make sense, Angela… anonymous Angela"! 👏👏 No it doesn't. I agree with you, Stephanie. ✌️

Ornament made of plaster in the shape of a cookie! I still have mine from kindergarten Way back in 1984.
@thisbirdhasflown2554
Has anyone entertained the idea that Steven met someone–male or female–for a sexual encounter, and met foul play at the hands of this person? He could have made contact on library computers.
@jilliankoecher666
Just saying… It's pronounced 'kosher' – not 'coacher'
@jeanetteshawredden5643
There is still a market in the US to abduct young men, for nefarious purposes. It alarms me that the police never obtained a search warrant for the vacant house, nor entered, nor dusted for finger prints. Poor police skills!!! ESPECIALLY for suspicious "sudden" move out but 2 different cars left behind, the white van missing. The mystery Angela person. HE WAS ABDUCTED. MURDERED. And son Mark living in the back yard Casita, but failed to call police. ALL VERY SUSPICIOUS!!!
@samanthakaitlynm
His singing is so beautiful. Thank you for including this.

I see a lot of parallels with my own experience when I was severely depressed. Doing much much better now. I still remember though how I would feel like my life was crumbling around me, but then I would get a blip of what I call a “change my life” moment. These were not a manic episodes, but I’d feel like I had a eureka moment and like I’d figured out how I could be happy while still taking care of myself.
“I’m going to be a photographer!”
“I’m going to be a content creator!”
“I’m going to (insert spur of the moment fixation).”
For a few weeks I’d be pretty excited and determined that I was gonna do this and everything was going to change for the better, but then when I realized “what the f am I doing???” I would just crash back into hopelessness. I almost wonder if the flyer plans showed he was having a “change my life” moment—but then when he was in this random neighborhood he fell out of that go-getter state of mind and realized “what the f am I doing here???”
I also used to have similar boundary issues with my mother. Granted, I’ve been the custodian of my own passport since college, so I wonder if they had even more severe boundary issues that contributed to his potential feelings of shame and inadequacy.
@ashleysmithersbruh
I can't help but to notice that the word escape is used constantly in terms of his disappearance . What or who was he escaping from? just a weird observation.
