Big River RCMP have been searching for a 36 year old man who may have been assaulted and in need of medical attention. Richard Netmaker was last seen in an isolated area about 4 kilometres northwest of Big River First Nation on Monday.

RCMP say they are reaching out to the public for help. He may have caught a ride with someone and may no longer be in the area. He is likely not dressed for the weather and may not have a coat. Because of the extreme cold, the hope is to find him as quickly as possible.

Netmaker is about 5-foot-9, 161 pounds with multiple tattoos on his forearms, a scar over his right eye and a scorpion tattoo on the left side of his neck.
