Family of missing B.C. cowboy makes emotional appeal for information

MERRITT – The family of a ranch manager who went missing near Merritt, B.C., is asking for information nearly three weeks after the 32-year-old was last seen.

Ben Tyner has been the manager of the Nicola Ranch in B.C.’s southern Interior since November and was last seen Jan. 26 when he rode out of the ranch, possibly to search for cattle in the surrounding hills.

His mother, father and brother have been in Merritt but are returning to their Wyoming home and have made an emotional appeal asking for tips about Tyner’s whereabouts.

The saddled horse ridden by the experienced cowboy was found wandering two days after he vanished and a search began but was called off Feb. 3 as snow and frigid weather descended on the province.

Members of the RCMP’s major crime unit continue to investigate, but police say there is no indication of foul play.

Tyner’s mother Jennifer says her son loves life and the family is hoping for any information that can help find him.
