Steven Gerard Voegtli, 62, a retired Los Angeles County firefighter, was last seen August 12, 2015, at his home near Madera Road in Simi Valley, California. He vanished without his phone, car, identification, or bank cards, and has not been heard from since. At the time he was in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, with memory loss and disorientation, which has heightened concern for his welfare.

Voegtli enjoyed outdoor activities such as surfing and walking trails in the Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks areas. Family, friends, and law enforcement have searched but turned up no substantial leads, and the circumstances are described as suspicious because it was uncharacteristic for him to leave behind all essential belongings. The Simi Valley Police Department asks anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone in the Simi Valley or Thousand Oaks area see Steven after August 12, 2015?
