Where is Steven Bradley?

On the morning of July 31, 2006, Steven Bradley left his Las Vegas home to head to work. He called his job on the way to let them know he was running late. But he never made it there, and he never came home.

The next day, Steven’s SUV was found abandoned more than 250 miles away in Lake Elsinore, California. There were no obvious signs of a struggle, no note left behind, and no clues as to why he would have driven there. Steven has been missing ever since.

At the time he disappeared, Steven was 37 years old. He was a husband, a father, a brother, a son, and a friend. He was described by high school classmates as the kind of person who always had a smile on his face. Today, he would be 56.

We recently shared Steven’s story on the podcast - not because there’s a huge update or shocking twist, but because his story matters. His family has waited almost 19 years without answers. His wife, Sonia, and their two daughters have carried the weight of this loss quietly and with strength. His daughters grew up without their dad. He missed birthdays, holidays, graduations, and every milestone in between.

This episode is shorter than most because the information is limited. That’s often the reality with missing persons cases, especially older ones that didn’t get much media attention. But the lack of coverage doesn’t mean the loss is any less devastating. And it doesn’t mean we’re going to ignore it.

We believe every missing person deserves to be talked about, especially in a city like Las Vegas where stories like Steven’s can easily get lost in the noise. These cases don’t need to be sensational to deserve attention. They just need to be human.

If you haven’t listened to the episode yet, you can find it here or wherever you get your podcasts. And if you’re in Southern Nevada or Southern California, please consider sharing Steven’s photos or the episode link. Someone out there might know something. Sometimes, all it takes is one person speaking up.
