A search is underway for a missing 63-year-old Temecula man who disappeared more than a week ago and is believed to have ridden off on a mountain bike. Daniel John Mullins was last seen in the 40000 block of Nob Court on Sept. 24, and he has not been heard from since.

According to the Patch report, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department says Mullins was last seen on Sept. 24 near his Nob Court neighborhood and is believed to have left the area on a mountain bike. Investigators have not said whether he was headed anywhere in particular, and as of this report, there is no update on his whereabouts.

Description and What's Missing From the Case

Deputies describe Mullins as 5 feet 10 inches tall and roughly 185 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Notably, officials say it remains unknown what he was wearing when he was last seen, a detail that could make him harder for the public to spot or identify.

The search, first reported by MyNewsLA.com, comes as authorities continue to look into Mullins' disappearance from the Temecula neighborhood where he was last known to be. No further details about the circumstances of his disappearance have been released.

How to Help

The Riverside County Sheriff's Department is asking anyone with information about Mullins' whereabouts to call Sheriff's Dispatch at 800-950-2444. Authorities have not released any additional leads in the case as the search continues.
