I am Stephans little sister this is my mother's message-

My name is Jaime, and I am a mother living every parent's worst nightmare. My son, Stephan, 31, has been missing since February 18, 2026, and every single day without him feels like a lifetime. There is no pain that compares to not knowing where your child is, if they are safe, if they are hurt, or if you will ever hear their voice again. As a mother, I feel like a part of me is missing with him. Stephan was last seen at my apartment on Sells Rd in Lancaster, Ohio. Stephan is 5'9" and was last seen wearing dark blue jeans, a gray hoodie with a black front pocket, and black boots, size 9.5. He has very noticeable tattoos on both sides of his neck—one says "Aubryn" with clouds around it, and the other says "Rose" with clouds. He had a TAG government mobile phone with him. Stephan is not the type of person to just disappear. He has a family who loves him deeply, including his child, who needs her father. We know in our hearts that something is wrong, and we are desperately searching for answers. We are actively working with Detective Currence from Fairfield County on Stephan's missing persons case, and every lead is being followed.

We are asking for help to raise funds for a reward for any credible information that leads to directly finding Stephan, legal fees to ensure every avenue is pursued and justice is served, and funeral expenses in the devastating event we are faced with the unthinkable. This is something no family should ever have to prepare for, but we have to be ready for anything as we continue this search.

We are not giving up. I will never stop looking for my son. I will never stop fighting for him. But we cannot do this alone. We are asking for support to help us continue to fight and bring Stephan home. Please, if you can donate, share, or simply keep Stephan in your prayers, it means more than words can ever express. Every share increases the chances that someone, somewhere, knows something and will come forward. If you have any information at all, please speak up. Silence protects the wrong people. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping us bring my son home. — Jaime
