On Saturday, July 10, 37-year-old Philip Kreycik, a resident of Berkley, California, told his wife that he would be heading out that morning to the Pleasanton Hills to complete his mountain climbing routine.
With his disappearance, rescue teams were deployed to the area, off-road vehicles and aerial equipment - including drones - have patrolled the area.
Among them is now Mexican-born doctor Gustavo Bernal, who has experience in emergency and rescue services, who says that the official search for Philip Kreycik lasted only five days, and then the authorities consider him missing indefinitely and cease the search.
"A group of us fellows found ourselves today searching the areas where there is speculation that Philip might be," Bernal stated. "His parents, his children and his friends want to see him back home."
For the past six days, the jogger's whereabouts have been unknown. Philip Kreycik's wife alerted authorities when Kreycik did not return home that evening. "He may be hurt and disoriented."The APB, which authorities subsequently released, asks the public to please check security camera footage as well as their property. To offer any information leading to the whereabouts of Philip Kreycik, please contact with the police at (925) 931-5107.
Doctor Gustavo Bernal is hopeful that the group of volunteers will find Philip Kreycik alive. He said the Pleasanton area, at this time of year, presents an arid environment and "high-risk" mountaineering due to the poisonous wildlife in the area. "If you are going out, take precautions, stay well hydrated and use fluorescent clothing or whistles," Bernal said.
