90: MURDER: Ebby Steppach
On the night of Friday, October 23, 2015, 18-year-old Ebby Steppach attended a party in Little Rock, Arkansas. The following evening, she texted her stepfather and said she’d been sexually assaulted at the party and asked if he would go with her to the police. He said yes. But after that, she never contacted him again.
Calls and texts from her family went unanswered until the next afternoon, when Ebby called her older brother. She was disoriented, thinking she was outside his house, even though she wasn’t. Her family frantically reported her missing and began searching. Within a week, her car was found abandoned at a local park. But there was no sign of Ebby. Searches in and around that park continued for years with no answers.
Then, two and a half years later, Ebby’s body was found just 70 feet inside a drainage pipe that opened just feet from where her car had been left behind. Now, nearly a decade later, her family, friends, and the Little Rock Police Department are still searching for the person—or people—responsible for ending Ebby’s life.
On Friday, October 23, 2015, Ebby Steppach attended a party. Afterward, she told friends and family she had been sexually assaulted and may have been recorded without her consent. The following day, she planned to report the assault to police—but then, she disappeared.
For nearly 24 hours, no one could reach her. Then, on Sunday, October 25, Ebby called her brother. She sounded disoriented and claimed she was outside his house, but she wasn’t there. When he called her back, she said she was in her car—a silver Volkswagen Passat—but didn’t know where she was. That call was the last time anyone in her family heard from her.
Ebby’s car was later found abandoned in Chalamont Park. Her phone, wallet, and contact lenses were still inside. But Ebby was nowhere to be found.
In May 2018, Ebby’s remains were recovered from a drainage pipe, just feet from where her car had been found. Her death is being investigated as a homicide.
