A note here about the friend/colleague who last spoke with Steven. After this long, having read about/discussed here and pondered this case for years, I've come to a fairly solid conclusion in my own mind about it. I truly think this was a case of coincidence. Nothing has ever come of it -no rumors, no breadcrumbs.
It's been discussed here that during that last phone call he didn't ask SK why he was in the LV area -what he was doing. However, I think it's just a case of that's how many men roll. My husband and many men I know wouldn't ask.
As far as them being there at the same time well, it's LV. It's the closest big city. I imagine many young people, especially single ones, often make the trek. Jobs, night life, etc. Likely quite common.
Just a few thoughts in this very old, very sad, case which never seems to closer to resolution.
