The R-C-M-P's historical case unit will conduct a search of the Sakimay First Nation looking for remains or evidence in the death of an Ontario man who vanished 10 years ago.

About 25 people, including R-C-M-P officers, civilian employees of the force and volunteers, will comb through a wooded area on the reserve today.

Robin Cocks, who was in his mid-30s, vanished in 2003 but his skull was found in the area in April 2012.

Cocks was born Robin Timothy Jamieson and was originally from the Dalles First Nation near Kenora, Ontario, before being adopted.

He was believed to be hitchhiking to Vancouver when he vanished
