Overview

• Newly released court applications detail four polygraphs, with the mother, stepfather and biological father recorded as truthful and a stepgrandmother’s result deemed unsuitable for analysis.
• Filings confirm two pieces of a pink blanket identified as Lilly’s were recovered, one found in a tree about one kilometre from the home on May 2 and another taken from a trash bag at the driveway on May 4, with forensic testing ongoing.
• Investigators sought broad electronic and video records, including all Cobequid Pass toll-plaza camera footage for vehicles leaving Nova Scotia from May 1 at 2:25 p.m. to May 3 at 3 a.m.
• A witness reported seeing two children on the morning of May 2 approaching a woman beside an older tan or gold sedan near Gairloch Road, and police are examining whether they were Jack and Lilly.
• Court documents note hundreds of tips reviewed without a confirmed lead to the children’s location, and an early investigative assessment recorded that the disappearance was not then believed to be criminal.
