Tyler Arkinson

14-year-old Tyler Arkinson, reported missing on March 22, 2010.

On Monday, March 22, 2010, at 4:25pm, RCMP Powerview Detachment were notified by the immediate family that 14-year-old Tyler Arkinson could not be located.

Family members became concerned when efforts to locate Tyler Arkinson were unsuccessful.

RCMP Powerview began an investigation and learned that Tyler Arkinson from the Sagkeeng FN attended a party on Bruyere Point Road on the South Shore of Sagkeeng FN on Saturday night, March 20, 2010 and it is believed that Tyler left the party on foot in the early hours of Sunday morning.

A cursory search of the area and local inquiries by the RCMP were unsuccessful yesterday.

The RCMP Search and Rescue team, the RCMP Police Service Dog with the assistance of the Manitoba Office of the Fire Commissioner and trained volunteer teams from Search and Rescue Manitoba (SARMAN) and a K-9 search team have been dispatched and will begin a formal search of the area this morning.  

Anyone that has any information on the whereabouts or saw Tyler Arkinson at the bush party is asked to come forward and contact the RCMP Powerview Detachment at (204)367-8728.
