According to a media release from Saskatchewan RCMP, he was last seen on Jan. 6 in an area three to five km northwest of Big River First Nation.

Netmaker is 161 pounds, 5-9 inches tall with black hair and brown eyes. He also has numerous tattoos on his forearms and a scar over his right eye and a scorpion tattoo on the left side of his neck.

Investigation has shown he may need medical attention and may have been assaulted.

He may not have a coat and not be dressed for the weather, so it is important he is located as soon as possible.

The RCMP is unsure of his whereabouts and searches so far have failed to locate him. The RCMP think he may have caught a ride and may no longer be in the Big River First Nation area.

If you have any information on Richard’s whereabouts, please contact the Big River RCMP Detachment at 306-469-2590 or your local RCMP detachment at 310-RCMP. Information can also be submitted anonymously to Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submitting a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
