Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP31579) and 4 other sources
Steven Gerard Voegtli, a 62-year-old retired Los Angeles County firefighter, was last seen on August 12, 2015, at his home near Madera Road in Simi Valley, California. He disappeared without his phone, car, identification, or bank cards, and has not been heard from since. Voegtli was in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease at the time, which caused memory loss and disorientation, raising concerns for his safety. He was known for enjoying outdoor activities such as surfing and walking trails in areas like Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks.

The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are considered suspicious, as it was unusual for him to leave behind all his essential belongings. Despite searches by his family, friends, and law enforcement, no substantial leads have emerged. Authorities continue to investigate the case, urging the public to report any information that might help locate him.

If you have any information, the Simi Valley Police Department can be contacted to assist in the investigation. Voegtli remains missing, and his case is classified as an endangered missing person.
