The story of Ricky Real Riopel's disappearance is one of lingering questions and a family's enduring hope for answers. Concern for Ricky began to mount when his family realized they had not seen or heard from him since December of 2008. This prolonged silence was deeply uncharacteristic, prompting his family to officially report him missing to the Saskatoon Police Service in August of 2010. At the time he was reported missing, Ricky was 50 years old, a man known for his generosity and his signature cowboy hat and boots that were a common sight around Saskatoon. Investigations following the report unearthed a few more recent traces of his whereabouts. It was confirmed that Ricky had been at a healthcare facility in Moose Jaw in October of 2009. The last definitive sighting of him, however, occurred in September 2010, when he was seen at a shopping mall in downtown Saskatoon. After this encounter, the trail seemingly went cold, leaving his loved ones in a painful state of uncertainty. Those who know Ricky remember him as a kind and selfless person. His sister recalls him as a "sweetheart," painting a picture of a man who found joy in giving to others. She holds onto memories of Christmases where Ricky would delight in watching his family open the gifts he had thoughtfully chosen for them. He was a supportive brother, once filling his sister's house with groceries during a difficult time and taking her children to the park. Childhood memories are filled with their father teaching them to hike and fish, passions that Ricky carried with him, especially enjoying fishing and camping at Fort Qu'Appelle. He is described as being about 5'10" and 160 pounds, with light brown hair, hazel eyes, and a moustache. Distinctive features include a missing top front tooth and tattoos on his left forearm and right leg. The passage of time has not eased the ache of Ricky's absence for his family. His parents, who were in failing health at the time of the public appeals for information, have since passed away without ever knowing what happened to their son. His remaining siblings, along with other family and friends, continue their search for answers. The Saskatoon Police Service investigation remains active, a testament to the unresolved nature of his case. The details of his disappearance remain sparse, pieced together from the family's last contact in 2008, his presence in Moose Jaw in 2009, and a final confirmed sighting in Saskatoon in 2010. This timeline highlights a period where he was not in regular contact with his family, culminating in a complete and troubling silence that has stretched on for years, leaving a void in the lives of those who still wait for him to come home.
