Nearly 200 law enforcement officers, professional searchers and support staff with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office conducted an extensive search for missing Berkeley runner Philip Kreycik on Sunday.
The search for Kreycik was part of eight days and thousands of search hours from local police departments, the sheriff’s office and community search teams, according to a Facebook post from the sheriff’s office.
While searchers found a partial T-shirt during a ravine search, it was confirmed to not belong to Kreycik, and the search yielded no new leads.
“We truly feel we have done an enormous effort covering all possible scenarios during the past eight days,” the Facebook post reads. “Like the community, we are frustrated and perplexed that this massive effort has yielded no results. We feel we should have found Philip by now.”

Volunteers continued searching Friday for a missing Berkeley man who vanished nearly a week ago while purportedly out for an eight-mile run at Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park.
Two days after Pleasanton police and sheriffâs officials called off the official search for 37-year-old Philip Kreycik, friends and volunteers again met at Foothill High School to pass out flyers, continue searching the parkâs wilderness trails, and canvass the neighborhoods around it in the event Kreycik never went for his run.
Thursday evening, Pleasanton police Lt. Eric Silacci said that although officers were no longer searching, they were going over maps, looking for areas to possibly search in the future, and conducting interviews with Kreycikâs family and friends to learn more about the man. Kreycikâs car was found at the park, and Silacci said police believed Kreycik was either on the mountain, or âhe is somewhere else.â
