After increasing its reward for information about a missing Cape Breton man, his family returned to the woods Thursday to look for clues.
Allan Hill, 27, a married father of three, vanished more than a month ago.
A reward of $5,000 was offered, and that has been doubled.
Allan's father, Charlie Hill, said it has been a struggle just getting through the Christmas holidays.
"We had to come home and search," said Hill, stomping through the woods and fields near North Sydney in search of any sign of his son.
Allan Hill's car was found on the side of Highway 125 shortly after he was last seen on Nov. 21. The trunk and windows were open, and the keys were nearby on the ground.
The family is well aware of the reports that he may have been struck by a car.
"If he did get hit by the car, he may be in the woods. We realize he maybe didn't survive the elements, but we didn't want to leave him lying in a snowbank," said Charlie Hill.
Hill said his son's bank and credit cards have not been used and there have not been any sightings of the 27-year-old man in the last month.
