Ralf Peeks, 43, was last seen April 21 according to San Diego police.
A local engineer, Peeks is a German citizen with no known family in the area.
Investigators say Peeks was riding his black mountain bike on Camino Ruiz in the Miramar area and he hasn’t seen since.
Peeks never returned home and did not show up to his job the following day.
Alex Ciric shared a house with Peeks and has searched hospitals and canyons wondering if the avid cyclist was injured or perhaps killed without identification..
"You don't know what happened, it's become a mystery, something that was so unexpected," said Ciric.
Friends say police have Peeks passport, money and computers. He did not own a cell phone or a car, they said.
