Hey everyone, I was reading through Stephen Hurder’s case again, and something struck me about the timing of when his case was officially opened. It's mind-boggling that it took until 2016 for it to be classified as a missing person case, even knowing he left everything behind. I get that the police might have their reasons, but how on earth does something like this happen? Could it have something to do with the area or maybe the time period? It's just odd to me that no follow-up was officially on record for so long. Ten years is a long time for people to forget things or for evidence to go missing altogether—hence why it could be such a challenge now to piece anything together. Does anyone else have thoughts on how the delay could have impacted potential evidence or leads? It just seems like such a crucial decade where so much could've been discovered or documented if things hadn't dragged out. I'm curious if anyone else has seen something similar in other cases.

Has anyone else come across any updates or theories about what happened to Stephen Hurder, especially since the police took so long to officially investigate his disappearance? I honestly find it strange that they waited ten years before opening a missing persons case. Does anyone know if there's been any discussion about the friend he was last seen with? It seems like that could be an important piece of the puzzle. Also, given his criminal past, I wonder if the authorities initially dismissed the case because they thought he might have just vanished on his own? Would love to hear other people's thoughts or insights on this.
