In the ongoing investigation of the missing Sullivan siblings in Nova Scotia, the RCMP have discovered a pink blanket belonging to the children and reviewed thousands of videos. Despite these efforts, the mystery of the disappearance remains unsolved.
Over two months have elapsed since two young siblings vanished in Nova Scotia, and while progress has been made, the mystery remains unresolved. The RCMP have reported the receipt of thousands of videos and the discovery of a pink blanket belonging to one of the children.
The Northeast Nova RCMP Major Crime Unit is at the helm of the investigation into Lilly and Jack Sullivan's disappearance from their rural Lansdowne Station home in Pictou County, Nova Scotia.
"Our team's efforts will persist daily until we fully understand the circumstances behind Lilly and Jack's disappearance," stated Sgt. Rob McCamon, Acting Officer in Charge of Major Crime and Behavioural Sciences, in a statement dated July 16.
Lilly, six, and Jack, four, were reported missing on the morning of May 2, 2025, by their mother and stepfather, who suspect the children disappeared while they were asleep. The stepfather conducted a search of nearby roads as the mother alerted the authorities.
Since then, the RCMP have initiated over 800 tasks connected to this investigation. The recent update does not shed new light on the whereabouts or fate of Lilly and Jack but provides the public with a glimpse of the forthcoming phase of the investigation.
The investigation involves scrutinizing around 5,000 video files from Lansdowne Station and its vicinity and evaluating over 600 public tips.
Police have officially interviewed over 60 individuals, some of whom underwent polygraph tests, and they are in the process of obtaining judicial authorizations to seize and examine devices and materials that may aid the investigation.
Forensic examinations are underway on materials discovered in search areas, including a pink blanket found near the home on Lansdowne Road, verified by the family as belonging to the children.
"A considerable amount of methodical investigative work is being conducted here and across Canada," said McCamon.
Addressing concerns over a perceived lack of urgency, spokesperson Cpl. Carlie McCann assured reporters during a press conference that "an RCMP family liaison is in regular contact with a designated relative of Lilly and Jack."
The Northeast Nova RCMP Major Crime Unit is supported in its efforts by RCMP units from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Ontario, as well as the National Centre for Missing Persons, the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, and various provincial and municipal police agencies throughout Canada.
