Ricky Real Riopel was last in contact with family in December 2008 and was reported missing to the Saskatoon Police Service in August 2010, at age 50. Investigators confirmed he was at a healthcare facility in Moose Jaw in October 2009 and the last definitive sighting was in September 2010 at a downtown Saskatoon shopping mall. He is described as about 5 feet 10 inches, 160 pounds, light brown hair, hazel eyes, moustache, missing a top front tooth and with tattoos on his left forearm and right leg.

Family remembers him as generous and fond of his cowboy hat and boots, who enjoyed fishing and camping at Fort Qu'Appelle and supported relatives in hard times. His parents have since died without learning what happened; siblings, family and friends continue to seek answers and the Saskatoon Police Service lists the investigation as active.

If anyone saw Ricky in or around Saskatoon or Moose Jaw between 2008 and 2010, or has information about his whereabouts, please share what you know.
