Alberta family asks hunters to help look for missing couple west of Edmonton

EDMONTON – The family of a missing Alberta couple is once again asking hunters to scour the bush west of Edmonton this fall for any sign of their loved ones.

Lyle and Marie McCann, both in their 70s, were last seen on July 3, 2010, gassing up their motorhome in St. Albert, just north of the capital.

Their son, Bret McCann, is distributing 5,000 flyers to outdoor shops that sell hunting licences, asking people to keep their eyes open for anything suspicious.

McCann says this summer they gave up hope his parents will be found alive, but he says the family desperately wants to know what happened to them.

He says RCMP continue to investigate and a $60,000 reward for information has gone unclaimed.

The couple’s burning motorhome was found a few days after they disappeared, and two weeks later, the SUV they were hauling was found abandoned in the bush.
