Two days after the family of Lyle and Marie McCann announced that they were raising funds to offer a special reward for information in the case of the missing couple, donations are pouring in for the fund.
On Monday the couple's son, Bret McCann announced that an anonymous donor had stepped forward and pledged $10,000 to the fund. Since then the reward has grown by tens of thousands of dollars.
On Wednesday Bret McCann said the family has received another $10,000 pledge towards the reward from a donar in Saskatchewan.
The Apache Corporation has also pledged $10,000 towards the fund, and agreed to match any donations made by staff.
Smaller donations are also streaming in from the public. Bret McCann says he receives an email almost every hour informing him that someone has donated online to the cause.

The special reward is separate from a $2,000 reward being offered by Crime Stoppers. A tipster can claim the Crime Stoppers reward while still remaining anonymous, but in order to claim the special reward the tipster will be put in touch with investigators.
Lyle and Marie McCann have been missing since July 3rd, when they left St. Albert bound for B.C.
