The suspect in the disappearance and presumed deaths of an Alberta couple last summer is applying to the courts to have unrelated charges against him dropped, alleging that jail guards have repeatedly abused him.

It's been over a year since my parents went missing, and they're still not found,” said McCann. "We're hoping to attract the attention of hunters and those going into the bush this fall and get them to keep an eye out for anything suspicious."

The family partnered with RCMP and Alberta Sustainable Resources to distribute leaflets with every hunting licence sold in the area.

"These people are going to be going into areas no one has been in years," said McCann.


"This could be crucial in solving this mystery."


"A reward of $60,000 is available for any information leading to the couple's whereabouts."
