Cedars-Sinai Intern Is Found Safe 2 Months After Vanishing : Disappearance: Dr. Steven R. Stoltz turns up unharmed, oblivious to distress he caused.

Two months after his disappearance touched off a manhunt by colleagues and police, a Cedars-Sinai Medical Center intern turned up unharmed Monday, oblivious to the distress he caused.

Dr. Steven R. Stoltz, 25, was found downtown at noon, said Police Detective John Sack of the department’s missing-persons section.

Police immediately notified his parents in Rapid City, S.D., but Sack said Stoltz would not explain his disappearance or disclose information on his whereabouts.

“He has committed no crime, and the missing-persons case is closed,” Sack said.

“Everyone is enormously relieved that he has been found and that he is safe,” said Cedars-Sinai spokesman Ron Wise. “Hopefully, Dr. Stoltz will contact the medical center and indicate what he wants to do with us.

“Everyone was considerably worried about the guy.”

Stoltz, a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, had last been seen Aug. 3, when he rode off on a blue-green mountain bike.

He cashed a check the next day and deposited his weekly paycheck, according to bank records. Sack said the records had been the last trace of him. Police found his car and two other bicycles at the Stoltz home, but the mountain bike was gone.

Volunteers had scoured Topanga Canyon and police had used a helicopter equipped with an infrared sensing device to try to locate Stoltz.

Handbills bearing Stoltz’s photograph were passed out in neighborhoods surrounding the medical center.
