@@albertafarmer8638 No offense but you obviously don’t know what Mormon’s believe. They do believe Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior, which is why his name is in their title. I have family members who are Mormon and they are just as normal as my other Christian family members. It’s probably better to try and understand other people’s beliefs to better empathize where they are coming from.

@@AlbinoWhiteGuy Hi, the Mormons believe that our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST is a created being and you can not deny this fact! Mormons believe in a DIFFERENT "jesus" who can not save them. This false teacher Joseph Smith added to the Bible, he was an occultist. Christians must warn the lost according to the Bible and point out false teachings and if you believe in a different "jesus" you are lost as well. The Bible tells us that JESUS is GOD, co-eternal and co-equal with the FATHER and the HOLY SPIRIT.

*Some females have this problem as well. Although maybe not to the same extent that most guys have it. Its like we're expected to be self sufficient, and overcome **_our own_** problems despite any physical or emotional or monetary setbacks. Millenials, most of us, have been conditioned to be independent without accepting or even asking for help. We're taught to value independence over pride. Which is a dam☆ shame, because everyone needs a little (or a lot) of help from time to time; its nothing to be ashamed of asking for or needing! That notion needs to be in the garbage!*

[@hanfred]

@@Griselda_Puppy My mum didn't want to be a burden on anyone during her seventeen year long on-and-off fight with cancer. But she did accept help by professionals. She told me that my granny had been a hypochondriac who often lay in bed, loading off all the chores on her, so she knew exactly what it could feel like to others and became quite the opposite of her mom in this regard. So there may be very different reasons our personality gets shaped in similar directions I guess.

I’ m not Mormon, but I’ve been acquainted with a few in the LDS church. Mormons are typically very focused, purpose-driven and family-oriented.

[@luciuscornelius7177]

The shackles his religion put on him, the expectations it might have provoked in him about how he should be living by 30 years old, could have been liberating to leave behind? Yes, it would mean leaving his family, but if he felt he was letting them down or was a burden then he might have felt it was a kindness to go? (not knowing it's a living torture not knowing what happened to your loved one) I don't know if suicide is against their teachings, if it is then moving on to pastures new could have meant he had everything to begin again. Once gone it's difficult to admit what happened and get in contact again with your old life, all the fuss that's made about you going missing, how can you just pop up again and say you're alright? I hope he is still alive, maybe one day he'll have the strength to let his family know.

This story really spoke to me. The whole thing lead me to empower my own children, my eldest is now off at uni with his girlfriend of 5yrs.

So sad that he had been offered a job in the next little while. A very sensitive and gentle analysis of a tragic story. It's so strange that his body hasn't been found. I'm inclined to think that whatever happened to him wasn't of his own doing. Just my idea.

[@SH-to8sh]

How do you know someone had a job lined up for him ? and doing what? I've never heard this before

[@RoyalPurpleStar]

Yeah, I feel the same way about what had happened to him. It’s almost impossible to hide your own body if it was suicide, unless he’s lying at the bottom of the water. There are plenty of cases where people have ended up being found in the water decades later, either still in their cars or just their bodies. This case is so tragic and frustrating, the “not knowing” must be excruciating and agonizing for his family.

What about "right at noon" would suggest he had an appointment for a job interview. Most businesses I know of would not schedule a job interview for noon due to it being the lunch hour and most people taking lunch during that time.

[@nursejessie8149]

I’m not sure this is as mysterious and sensational as other KZbinrs make it out to be. I think it should be a warning that someone can be intelligent, good looking and seemingly “upbeat and optimistic” while suffering from crippling depression from barely keeping their heads above water for a long period of time. I’m not suggesting the family did anything wrong, they tried to help him financially but I think this is a good case for mental health intervention and checking in on your loved ones when they’re really struggling. Such a sad case. I feel almost certain he took his own life. Great analysis.

[@wishingb5859]

The problem is that his landlord was stealing drugs and guns and selling them to people and Steven owed the landlord rent money and may have been asked to make some Christmas deliveries for the landlord in exchange for rent.

[@CraftySouthpaw]

My suspicion is that he went into one of the houses and was (eventually) murdered. Perhaps he was lured there by a serial killer (perhaps on the pretense of a job interview), or perhaps he went there knowingly to partake in some kind of drug deal, and either made the wrong person angry or was double-crossed at some point.

[@peccantis]

For an LDS member yes, 30 very much is a critical milestone, especially for finding a spouse. When your two-digit age starts with a 2, everyone and their auntie is bending over backwards to introduce you to potential candidates. When you turn 30 that stops and you're more or less considered a lost cause, especially if you're male and without a steady job that pays enough to support a stay-at-home wife and a bunch of kids. And marriage and family are central to LDS culture and doctrine.

The fact that the last image of him was him walking purposefully with something under his arm makes suicide less likely, in my opinion, and yet none of the people in his life appear to have wished him harm.

My brother was coming from Austin to Canada in April 1985 and we had to search for him, found missing, and later found he had had a witness see his car go over a cliff near Henderson. Later they found his body in a Las Vegas morgue, where he had been for 3 months with his car in the demolition lot, and his Drivers License and Identification in the car. Only when a Travel Agency got involved that they discovered this. Why this happened in LV explains the lack of empathy on the police advising the family. This relates a bit to this coverup here....🤒. We had to search every place, including Amarillo, I remember they served soup made from pig stomach there... it was definitely Mexican. Thanks for your compassion, Dr. Grande. 🤠🤒
