Search Teams Find No New Clues in Weekend Effort for Missing Nova Scotia Siblings

Exhaustion has prompted a pause in field operations pending RCMP analysis of new leads

Overview

  • Six-year-old Lilly Sullivan and her four-year-old brother Jack vanished from their Lansdowne Station home on May 2 and remain missing.
  • Searchers spent the weekend of June 1–2 combing dense woods near Gairloch Road and along a pipeline trail without uncovering fresh evidence.
  • Volunteers from Colchester Ground Search and Rescue and regional teams reported physical and mental fatigue after gruelling grid searches through terrain littered with storm-damaged brush and downed trees.
  • The RCMP’s major crimes unit has collected more than 355 tips from the public and completed over 50 formal interviews while treating the siblings’ disappearance as suspicious.
  • A return to ground searches will depend on an upcoming review of gathered leads by RCMP investigators and search-and-rescue coordinators.
