I have been off for awhile, but I am checking in and I thinking about why Steven Koecher was in that neighborhood and craigslist keeps coming to mind for some reason. I have checked the archives for November and December of 2009 and nothing really jumps out at me, at least not at this point. However I did find some things that were interesteding.
There is an organization called www.craigscrimelist.com and they have a list of all the crimes which have occurred as a result of using craigslist over the past several years. There motto is, "Friends don't let friends use craigslist." Evidently there have been missing people as a result of using craigslist and quite a bit of human traffiking.
Megan Waterhouse went missing on June 6th 2010, who advertised on craigslist.
Henderson Nevada; December 2009 charged with the attempted murder of a man and murder of a woman that he met on craigslist. Michael Lane the accused was in customer before Steven Koecher when missing.
Since www.craigscrimelist.come keeps the archives of craigslist I am going to go through their archives to see if anything looks suspicious.
This effort on my part may turn out to be nothing, but I think it is worth checking out that Steven Koecher may have answered some ad on craigslist for a job.
It's worth checking into.

As Believe09 says, it's been checked. SK's computer was combed through at least twice, and once by LE under a warrant. Absolutely nothing showed up that linked him to an unknown person.
As for craigscrimelist, it's easy to pull out all the crimes that occur in any venue and claim that a certain website is unsafe. ANYONE who advertises publicly for personal services (babysitting, massage, prostitution, dating) is putting themselves in danger.
I use craigslist a lot, for one reason: to give things away. I also donate a lot of goods to charity. I can tell you that the people who've come to our home via craigslist have been a lot less scary, than the people sent by the local charities.
