Cadaver Dogs Find No Remains After 40‑Kilometre Sweep in Nova Scotia Missing Siblings Case

Police caution the negative alerts do not rule out remains.

Overview

  • Two RCMP teams searched roughly 40 kilometres in late September around Lansdowne Station, including the family property, a nearby pipeline with intersecting trails, and the site where a pink blanket was found.
  • The searches, led by Insp. Luke Rettie with Narc and Sgt. Dave Whalen with Kitt, yielded no indication of human‑remains odour.
  • Investigators say the results will inform next steps as they continue forensic work, assess more than 860 tips, and review about 8,060 video files.
  • RCMP state there is currently no evidence of an abduction and that all possibilities remain under consideration.
  • The case remains a missing‑persons investigation, and police say the dog teams could return if new information warrants another deployment.
