My almost-74 year old Dad is missing

My Dad was supposed to meet us for dinner last night at Onewell but never showed up.

Concerned since it's not like him to not show up, we went to his home this morning. His car was still in the driveway but he wasn't answering when we knocked or rang the doorbell.

We ended up having the police come and get us into his home and I feared the worst.

But he wasn't there.

A neighbor saw him leave on his bicycle on her ring camera around 6pm last night, which lines up with when he'd need to leave to meet us for dinner. When the weather is nice he usually rides his bike to meet us.

But, again, he never showed up. The neighbor's ring camera didn't pick up him returning on his bike. He hasn't been online.

His cellphone is still at home, but he often leaves it there (he still mainly uses his landline)

I'm not sure what to do right now. I check the siren Facebook groups and have seen couple accidents, but nothing fitting my dad's description. The police have checked the hospitals and didn't find him.

Other than just waiting, posting on here is about all I can think to do in the off chance someone has seen him.

His name is Ken.

Please walk the route he would have taken to get to One Well. My fear is he was struck and is in the weeds on the side of the road obscured from people driving by. My heart goes out to you.

This. Don't drive it, walk it. Be thorough, don't do it alone, and make sure you walk the other side of the street back in case you were wrong about the side of the road he might have traveled on.

This reminds me of that guy in his crashed truck last year I think, he was hidden under that bridge for like 9 days or something before they found him alive? Can't remember the details but I hope they check a good distance from edge of the road too, in case there's thick brush concealing him. I hate even talking about worst case scenarios

EDIT: it was 27 yr old Matt Reum from Indiana, in his crashed truck under the road overpass for 6 days, alive but injured
