A HUGE new update has been revealed in the mystery deaths of the hiking couple who vanished from their home before being found dead in the woods.
It's been three months since the bodies of 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 when they left their home in the Alton Woods apartment complex in Concord, New Hampshire before going on a walk in the Broken Ground Trails area.
On April 21, their 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 bumped the reward up from its original $5,000 sum, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader.

'BE VIGILANT'
Panicked family members raised the alarm two days after the Reids left for their walk when they failed to show up to a planned event.
The couple’s son, Brian Reid, told The Concord Monitor: "The bed was neatly made and a window was open.
"Both their phones are still in the apartment. My Dad’s wallet is also still in the apartment, and both their cars are here."
Police have said they have received dozens of tips in the case.
New Hampshire Assistant Attorney General Geoff Ward told Boston 25 he does not believe there is a threat to the public.
But he warned locals they should "remain vigilant".
Ward and Concord Police Chief Bradley Osgood have so far refused 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 that Monday afternoon, anyone walking on those trails, anyone who has any information related to their disappearance or deaths are asked to contact the Concord Police Department about anything that they saw or heard that afternoon.
"In addition, anyone along the area where the Reids walked that day from Alton Woods to Portsmouth Street to the Broken Ground Trails who has a home or business security system is asked to review their recordings to determine if the Reids or anyone else were captured on those videos."
