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.
