On July 5, 2006, 45-year-old Stephen Walter Hurder was at his home in the 7200 block of south Post Road in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, when he was last seen. Known to his loved ones as Steve, he reportedly left his residence with a friend. In a puzzling turn of events, he left all of his personal belongings behind, including his car and wallet. From that day forward, no one has reported hearing from or seeing Stephen again. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a white male, standing 5'9" to 5'10" and weighing between 200 and 220 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He had a mustache and a distinctive scar on his left arm. The official investigation into Stephen's disappearance was significantly delayed. For a decade, his case was not formally recognized as a missing persons investigation by the police. The authorities initially declined to file a report, citing a lack of evidence pointing to foul play. It wasn't until August 16, 2016, that the Oklahoma City Police Department officially opened a missing persons case. This long delay has unfortunately made the process of gathering potential leads and evidence more challenging for investigators. The circumstances surrounding Stephen Hurder's disappearance remain an unsolved mystery that has left his family without answers for many years. His case is classified as an endangered missing person. It has been noted that Stephen had a criminal history, which included charges of attempted burglary and cannabis possession, though it is unclear if this is connected to his disappearance. Investigators and his family continue to hope for information that could shed light on what happened to him. The Oklahoma City Police Department is the primary agency handling the investigation and encourages anyone with details to come forward.
