A HUGE new update has been revealed in the mysterious deaths of the walking couple who disappeared from their home before being found dead in the woods.
It’s been three months since the bodies by Stephen Reid, 67 and Djeswende Reid, 66, were discovered near their home after they went for a walk.
The two were last seen alive on April 18 as they left their home in the Alton Woods apartment complex in Concord, New Hampshire before taking a hike in the Broken Ground Trails area.
Their is on April 21 bodies were discovered covered in “multiple” gunshot wounds, and autopsies ruled that both deaths were homicides.
Now a $50,000 reward is being offered to anyone with information leading to an arrest in the case.
Anonymous donations increased the reward from the original $5,000, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader.
Investigators continue to search for a person of interest last seen near the April 18 shooting, authorities said.
A sketch of the person of interest was unveiled May 17, New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella said.
The person of interest is described as a white male, about six feet, who is in his late twenties or early thirties.
The man in the sketch has medium build, short brown hair and no facial hair.
He may have been wearing a dark blue jacket, khaki pants and a black backpack.
A motive for the shooting is still unknown.

‘BE ALERT’
Panicked family members raised the alarm two days after the Reids left for their walk when they failed to show up to a scheduled event.
The couple’s son, Brian Reid, told The Concord Monitor: “The bed was nicely made and a window was open.
“They both have their phones in the apartment. My father’s wallet is still in the apartment and both of their cars are here.”
The police say they have received dozens of tips in the case.
New Hampshire’s assistant attorney general Geoff Ward told Boston 25 that he does not believe there is a threat to the public.
But he warned locals to “stay vigilant.”
Ward and Concord Police Chief Bradley Osgood have so far declined to comment on whether the shooting was random.
Osgood added, “It’s always smart to lock your doors and be vigilant.”
Ward said: “Anyone who saw the Reids Monday afternoon, anyone walking those trails, anyone with information related to their disappearance or death is asked to contact the Concord Police Department about anything they have that afternoon. seen or heard.
In addition, anyone in the area where the Reids walked from Alton Woods to Portsmouth Street to the Broken Ground Trails that day and who has a home or business security system will be asked to review their footage to determine if the Reids or someone else is captured on those videos.”
