★ Disappearances & Vanishings (I)

As for Steven’s landlord, well that was another matter entirely.  Steven owed a substantial amount of back rent, as such, he was being contacted by the impatient landlord pretty frequently.  He even reached out to Steven’s family after his disappearance to try and collect the late rent payment from them as well.

 

The landlord had called Steven several times on the day he vanished as well: once at 4 in the afternoon, after Steven had abandoned his Chevy; and once the following day, at 6 am in the morning.  Did the landlord know something about what had happened to Steven Koechner that the police didn’t?

 

The information information regarding Steven’s landlord was not discovered by authorities during the initial investigation.  But over the years, police and the Koechers received a number of tips about Steven’s whereabouts. Even psychics weighed in.  In May of 2015, after news of Steven’s landlord broke, Steven’s community decided to pick up the search once again.

 

The renewed search took place in the area where Steven left his car and walked away.  It had been nearly six years since Steven vanished and his family were thrilled to see so many people volunteering to help locate their son, even after all that time.  They decided to comb the nearby hills first …

 

Red Rock Search and Rescue was called in to help.  Their theory was that Steven might have walked into the hills near Henderson and gotten lost in the cold, unforgiving wilderness.  If that was the case though, the 50 volunteers were very likely looking for a body.

 

Life goes on for everybody else except for us, says Deanne Koechner.  Every day, it’s a part of our lives.  But that doesn’t mean that the Koechners are giving up hope anytime soon.  Of course, in the time since Steven’s disappearance they have suffered other tragedies as well …

 

Steven Koechner’s father, Rolf Koechner, a newspaper editor in northern Utah, had worked tirelessly to find his son.  He followed every lead he received and did his best to keep his son’s story in the public eye.  Tragically, Rolf Koechner died from a sudden illness about a year after Steven vanished.  He would never know what happened to his son.  LifeDaily online article, ‘Strange New Evidence Surfaces in Case of Steven Koechner’

This film is about atomic power … 1) Anyone with an expert knowledge of physics can make an atomic bomb with that much of a substance called plutonium; 2) A speck of plutonium causes cancer; 3) There is no absolutely safe way of storing, protecting or transporting plutonium.  And you may have read recently that enough plutonium to make fifteen atomic bombs has officially disappeared from nuclear research centres in Britain.  John Pilger, An Unjustifiable Risk, 1977
