Overview

  • Six-year-old Lily and four-year-old Jack Sullivan disappeared on May 2 from their home in rural Nova Scotia, prompting extensive search efforts.
  • The RCMP has scaled back large-scale search operations, citing low survival odds, and shifted to a targeted investigation with specialized crime and forensic units.
  • Investigators are conducting formal interviews with 35 individuals and continuing to analyze over 180 public tips for credible leads.
  • Online misinformation and speculation have complicated the investigation, diverting resources and prompting legal warnings about potential cyberbullying and defamation.
  • The children’s stepfather suspects they were kidnapped, but the RCMP has found no evidence to support this theory as the search and investigation continue.
