WINNIPEG – The reward for information that leads to finding missing grandmother Thelma Krull has been doubled to $10,000 by the union that represents Winnipeg Transit workers.

Krull, 57, disappeared July 11 after she left her home for a long walk in the East Kildonan area, part of her training for a seven-day hike in B.C. Police found her glasses in the Valley Gardens area and the investigation is ongoing, although there is no new information to release, Const. Robert Carver said Tuesday.

Krull’s husband Bob was a Winnipeg Transit driver and the Amalgamated Transit Union offered a $5,000 reward to anyone who supplied information that leads to finding the missing woman. ATU International announced Tuesday that it’s matching that amount, doubling the reward.

“We’re hoping that someone comes forward,” said John Callahan, president of ATU Local 1505.
