Murder charges have been laid in the discovery of a body on the Okanagan Indian Band.

A 60-year-old, Peter Michael Visintainer, has been charged with the second degree murder Wolf-Ingo Rudolf Beyer.

The victim was found on 6 Mile Creek Road on OKIB land May 29, 2022.

鈥淚nvestigators are working to determine the whereabouts of the truck from approximately 5 p.m. on May 29, 2022, until approximately 10:15 a.m. on May 30, 2022,鈥 said Insp. Brent Novakoski, Southeast District Senior Investigating Officer of the BC RCMP Major Crime Section. 鈥淭he vehicle may have been driving erratically or below the speed limit, and this may trigger the public鈥檚 memory of the vehicle.鈥

The truck is a 2000 white, two-door, one-ton, Chevrolet flat-deck pickup. The vehicle has large after-market silver mirrors, and distinctive mud-flaps with 鈥榃OLF鈥 adorned on them.

鈥淭he vehicle is believed to have been in the West 麻豆精选, 麻豆精选, Armstrong, Enderby and Vernon areas,鈥 Novakoski added.
