After intensive searching, the Pleasanton Police Department (PPD) and its allied agencies decided to scale back the search for missing runner, Philip Kreycik (37). We re entering a different stage of the search effort right now, said PPD Investigations Lt. Erik Silacci. We re not ending it. We re just going to scale back and try to get a little more focused. It s day four, so the search and rescue folks out there are getting pretty worn out. They re mostly volunteers, so we need to reassess . for tomorrow.
In the past four days, more than a dozen agencies and approximately a hundred volunteers searched for Kreycik, who was last seen on Saturday, July 10, around 10:45 a.m. near Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park.

That’s tough. That’s tough up there, Amanda Olson of Livermore said. It’s really hot and really steep. An East Bay man who was supposed to go out for a 45-minute run on a scorching hot day over the weekend still has not returned home. Melissa Colorado reports.
Kreycik went out for a trail run Saturday morning and never returned home.
Pleasanton police say he is an experienced trail runner with no known health issues. I have a 37-year-old husband and he goes out for runs, Olson said. If he went for a run and didn’t come home, I would want anyone and everybody to be out here.
