Pleasanton residents, businesses and officials continue to offer their help and support to friends and relatives of a man who disappeared earlier this month at Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park, after the official search effort was drastically scaled back several weeks ago.
Several weeks have passed since Philip Kreycik, 37, was last seen around 10:45 a.m. on July 10 at the Moller Ranch staging area, where the ultramarathon runner parked his car before presumably going for an hour-long run on the ridge. After not hearing from him, Kreycik s wife, Jen Yao called the police around 2 p.m.
