Seventeen years after an Arizona couple was killed in the back of a pickup truck, authorities have announced a $10,000 reward for anyone who may have information on the murderer.

On Oct. 17, 2003, Brandon Rumbaugh and Lisa Gurrieri left Scottsdale for an overnight camping trip north of Phoenix, according to the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office. The couple had borrowed a 2000 white Ford F-150 pick-up truck and were to return the following day, but when they didn't make it back, worried friends and family began to search.
