RCMP Forensically Examining Items in Search for Missing Nova Scotia Siblings

 

More than two months after the disappearance of six-year-old Lilly Sullivan and her four-year-old brother Jack, the RCMP continues its intensive investigation into the case that has gripped Nova Scotia and beyond. The children were reported missing on May 2 from their rural home in Lansdowne Station, sparking extensive ground and air searches.

Among the items recovered during the search is a pink blanket, confirmed by the family to belong to Lilly. The blanket was found on Lansdowne Road and is now undergoing forensic analysis, which may include DNA and fibre testing. Investigators also discovered boot prints near the property and on a nearby trail.

The RCMP has reviewed over 5,000 video files, conducted more than 60 interviews, and followed up on 600+ public tips. The children’s stepfather, Daniel Martell, has publicly stated he passed a polygraph test and has cooperated fully with investigators.

Staff Sgt. Rob McCamon emphasized the scale of the investigation, noting that over 800 tasks are currently active. “A tremendous amount of careful, deliberate investigative work is underway by people here at home and in other parts of Canada,” he said.
