Mocha is likely very nearby. Cats have a keen sense of smell so put his favorite food, used litter box, and any pieces of clothing with your and his scent on it outside and that may help attract him home. (Some sites say they are most active and therefore most likely to come home between dawn and dusk. You might want to be especially on the lookout then and leave a window open so you can hear him meow.) Also if you think he likes tuna, walk around the neighborhood with an open can clinking it with a spoon while you call his name. (This worked with one of our family cats not long ago.) He may be frightened and hiding so ask your neighbors to check their crawl spaces, garages and shed areas while you do the same. And put up detailed photo flyers EVERYWHERE, including shelters, vet offices and stores. Check the shelters in person frequently because the way you describe him might not be the same way they would. Try not to be too discouraged or give up. A cat missing three months in Reston was recently returned after her flyer was seen at a Giant grocery store. (Friends who started a volunteer cat rescue say it's the flyers that most often gets them home. They even found a cat who had been missing six months.) Sending much caring and positive thoughts for a happy reunion...
