As the one year anniversary of the disappearance of an elderly St. Albert couple looms, RCMP and other search and rescue personnel are picking up the search for Lyle and Marie McCann.

The couple disappeared July 3, 2010, after leaving in their RV to visit friends in British Columbia.

Their motorhome was found burned on July 5, and the vehicle they were towing was found abandoned four days later.

The only person of interest in the case, Travis Vader, is currently behind bars on unrelated charges.

Sunday's search is one of the first time crews have looked for the missing couple this year, after dozens of searches took place in 2010.

The McCann family conducted their own search in the fall of 2010 – but found the area too large to cover with a small group.

Now the RCMP are taking over, much to the McCann family's relief.

"It means a lot the police have been so supportive." Brett McCann said in an interview with CTV News.

Leading the search for the missing couple Sunday is Don Drebert, the president of Search and Rescue Alberta. He has taken part in fourteen different searches for this case alone.

"I very much sympathize with the McCann family." Drebert said in an interview with CTV News.

"The disappearance of their parents, there is nothing worse than not knowing what's going on."

Search teams are looking in an area west of Lodgepole, Alberta. RCMP won't say what information brought the search to the new area.

"I was contacted by the command team for the McCann investigation," RCMP Constable Peter Lavalee said Sunday. "[I was] asked to contact the Brazeau Search and Rescue [and asked them] to conduct a search of this particular area."

The family hopes coverage of the one-year anniversary of the couple's disappearance will spark more tips and information that could lead to the location of Lyle and Marie McCann.

A $60,000 reward is still being offered for information about the couple's disappearance.

Now, Brett and the rest of the McCann family only need to wait for the phone call that would bring an end to the months-long nightmare.

"I keep hoping that they find something here to bring us some sense of closure.

This item is like new and includes the factory case which is an accessory.

The Falcon All-Terrain has all the same great features as the Falcon 2 tow bar, with the addition of ROADMASTER's exclusive All-Terrain non-binding technology. With an All-Terrain Freedom Latch™, you'll never struggle to connect or disconnect your tow bar — the Freedom Latch releases the tow bar at any angle, level or bind — first time, every time.

The all terrain tow bar from Roadmaster, Inc. is the world's first non-binding towbar. The All terrain tow bar from Roadmaster now has even more features consumers have been asking for.

Before the introduction of this product line, all bars on the road today could be difficult to unhook. Unless the motorhome and towed car were in alignment, the locking mechanisms could be difficult to unlatch. This new series of Roadmaster tow bars are designed to solve this common and frustrating problem. Now, even when at hard angles and extreme out of level situations, these models will disconnect with ease. Roadmaster's new tow bars are the only truly non-binding tow bars in the industry.
