Yes, that does make sense, that his real phone could very well have been in the moving van, along with Steven who was deceased at this time. This is better than my theory of him being taken to Henderson Airport area. The neighbour across the street said that they "moved a lot of boxes in 3 hours" that day, but she does not state at what time she started peeking out her window and watching them... although it could even been 3.5 or 4 hours as she is recalling something from a few weeks back and does not give specific starting and ending times of them moving the boxes so it sounds like a guess to me. In addition there could have been a lot of time taken to get the boxes ready in the house also, before they were taken outside. This would make it between 3pm to 4pm (3 or 4 hours after 12pm when steven arrived) that they finished putting the boxes in the van at the earliest, because if it were earlier, she would have very likely saw Steven arrive at the house and would have told police this. The first phone ping was 4:36pm, at N Arroyo Grande BlVd and American Pacific Drive area tower which according to google maps is about a 20 minute drive with no traffic. So if the van drove directly there, it would have left the house about 4:15pm or so, at the latest.I have a theory about the phone. I believe his killer found Steven's burner phone and didn't think to look for another phone. I believe a burner phone explains no communication trail for his odd travels before Vegas. So the real phone may have traveled with Steven's body. At some point the killer finds the real phone and pulls up the voicemail to see if anyone is missing Steven. Forgive me as I am pulling info out of my brain from years past, IIRC, the last ping was in a mixed use area if big box stores, homes, shady apartments, and industrial. In other words, an area with lots of dumpsters. Moo. Gosh, it is so nice to see people still discussing this case!
So many guesses and approximations here that could have happened though that we don't know..like what stops the moving van went to along the way..assuming the phone was in the van, at 6:58pm it pinged on W Sunset Road, then a minute later, further down the street, "It appears that a call was made but the recipient is unknown." Could that call have been made from Stevens phone to a burner phone? At the Russell Road/I-515 area at 6:04am the next morning the phone was used (call to or from the phone), and then someone used the phone at 7:04am supposedly to check his voice mail. Likely thrown out from the highway and it stayed in that one spot until it died.
Somewhere along this timeline, his body was taken somewhere and hidden...I really hope one day more clues will surface
