RCMP continue to search for clues 10 years after a man’s disappearance in the Shuswap.

Chase RCMP is appealing to the general public for any information surrounding the unexplained disappearance of Shayne Murray Robinson in 2010, as it continues its investigation into a decade old missing person’s case.

Robinson was last heard from on July 23, 2010 and reported to the Chase RCMP as a missing person on July 28, 2010. Although he originated from Edmonton Alberta, Shayne was living in Celista B.C. at the time of his disappearance.

He was in the process of moving to the Barriere area, and had borrowed his mother’s vehicle, a grey 2004 Dodge Ram 4-door pickup truck with Alberta licence plate YND 082, to make the move.

On Saturday July 24, 2010 at approximately 2 a.m., that vehicle was recovered abandoned by the Barriere RCMP on Enterprise Way in Louis Creek near Barriere BC.
