This week’s search turned up no signs of Merritt’s missing cowboy.

“At this point there is nothing new to report, unfortunately Mr. Tyner has not be located,” said RCMP Sgt. Janelle Shoihet.

The three-day search of Nicola Ranch commenced on April 10 and is set to conclude today, Shoihet confirmed.

“[Police on scene] had a few more things they had to tie up and then after that it will be done for now,” she said.

Another search could commence in the future,  Shoihet added, but it depends on what investigators decide.

“I don’t know what the next steps will be, the investigators will go back and figure out what the next steps will be,” she said. “They will still be going over any investigative avenues that have not already been covered.”

Tyner was reported missing to the Merritt RCMP on Jan. 28, after his riderless horse was found in the backcountry.

Following his disappearance, more than a dozen search and rescue teams, RCMP, and volunteers on foot, horseback, wheels and in helicopters scoured the region, but there’s still no sign of the rancher.
