HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) _ A family member says he's baffled by the
disappearance of a 30-year-old Utah man who authorities say was
last seen walking away from his vehicle in a Las Vegas-area
neighborhood almost two months ago.

Jeff Bradshaw says it's like everything about his cousin, Steven
Koecher, simply stopped on Dec. 13.

Koecher told no one back home in St. George, Utah, about a trip
to Las Vegas or any connections in the area.

A surveillance video from Sun City Anthem shows him parking and
leaving his car in an upscale neighborhood. It was a Sunday. Police
found Christmas presents inside.

Henderson police say they have absolutely no evidence of foul
play.

Now, Anderson Dairy is featuring Koecher's photo on milk cartons
_ in hopes that someone will recognize him.
