The Los Angeles Times reported:

A $10,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the safe return of a couple reported missing in July in Joshua Tree National Park. 

The reward was announced Saturday as crews continued to their methodical search for Rachel Nguyen and Joseph Orbeso, said Jennifer Albrinck, spokeswoman for Joshua Tree National Park. 

Using a specific grid pattern, she said, volunteers have been searching in and around the Maze Loop trail where the couple are believed to have vanished.

According to the article, a ping from Orbeso's cell phone was picked up yesterday.
