The man is described as Caucasian,  35-40 years of age, with stud earrings and a pock-marked face. The woman is described as Caucasian, 35-40 years of age, with glasses and possibly a tattoo or other marking on her right wrist.

"We are hopeful someone will come forward with the information needed to identity these people," says Cpl. Robert Welsman, Barriere RCMP.
