Nova Scotia Offers $150,000 Reward in Search for Missing Sullivan Siblings

Nearly 500 tips have been logged by the RCMP following the reward announcement, with the probe now revisiting earlier child welfare assessments around the siblings’ home.

Overview

  • The Nova Scotia government has offered up to $150,000 under its Major Unsolved Crimes Program for information on Lilly and Jack’s disappearance.
  • The RCMP has received 488 tips and interviewed 54 individuals, deploying a truth verification unit that has conducted polygraph examinations.
  • Child protection officials assessed the siblings’ living conditions months before their disappearance, and that case file is now under ministerial review.
  • After broad searches were scaled back on May 7 due to low survival odds, authorities have focused targeted ground, aerial and canine operations in dense terrain near Lansdowne Station.
  • Investigators report no evidence of abduction and are urging anyone with relevant video footage or witness accounts from late April and early May to come forward.
