    Missing: Steven Koecher (Part 2)

    📍 Henderson, Nevada 🎧 Chapter 34 — The Final Trace of Steven Koecher (Part 2) Part Two, the focus shifts from Steven Koecher’s disappearance… to what happened after he walked away. We follow the phone trail that continued hours after Steven was last seen — pings that pulled investigators farther from the neighborhood where his car was found. We dig into the private investigator’s findings, the unanswered questions surrounding that quiet street in Anthem, and the theories that have refused to fade over time. From suspicions involving Steven’s landlord… to a bizarre and troubling connection to another high-profile missing person case, this chapter explores the uncomfortable possibilities — and why, years later, no single explanation has ever fully held. Steven Koecher is still missing. And Part Two is where the questions become impossible to ignore.

    Missing: Steven Koecher (Part 1)

    📍 Henderson, Nevada. 🎧 Chapter 33: The Final Trace of Steven Koecher (Part 1) Steven Koecher was 30 years old when he vanished after parking his car in a quiet retirement community outside Las Vegas.No struggle.No note.Just six minutes on camera… and then nothing. In Part One, we go back before the disappearance — to who Steven was, the life he was trying to build, and the strange road trips he took in the days leading up to December 13, 2009. A series of choices that, at the time, didn’t raise alarms… but now feel impossible to ignore. This is where Steven’s story begins — not with answers, but with the moments that led him to walk away from his car… and out of sight.

    Missing: Christian Hall

    📍 Corpus Christi, Texas. 🎧 Chapter 32: The Final Trace of Christian Hall Fifteen-year-old Christian Hall was searching for something more when he stepped onto a fishing boat with an older man he trusted — a job, an escape, maybe a future beyond the small world he’d always known. But what was supposed to be a simple trip out on the water became something far more haunting. A mayday call.A boat taking on water.A passing vessel that was waved away. And then… nothing. Christian was never seen again. What followed was a case filled with strange details — a distress signal that didn’t lead to a rescue, a disappearance that left behind no body, no answers, and a story that refuses to sink. This is The Final Trace of Christian Hall — a story about trust, desperation, and a mystery still drifting somewhere between the sea and the truth.

    Murdered: Taylor Behl

    📍 Richmond , Virginia. 🎧 Chapter 31: The Final Trace of Taylor Behl Seventeen-year-old Taylor Behl had just begun her new life at Virginia Commonwealth University when she vanished from her dorm room — leaving behind a glowing computer screen, unanswered messages, and a digital trail no one knew how to read yet. In 2005, social media was still new. MySpace pages, online journals, and late-night chats felt harmless… until Taylor disappeared, and investigators realized those same spaces might hold the only clues to where she went — and who she trusted. What followed was a case shaped by technology, deception, and a photograph that would lead police somewhere no one expected. This is The Final Trace of Taylor Behl — a story about innocence in the early internet age… and how a young woman’s life was taken long before she ever had the chance to live it.
