New details of investigation into two missing N.S. children revealed

The disappearance of Lilly and Jack Sullivan has gripped the hearts of people across the world as the search for the missing Nova Scotia children continues. Daniel Martell, the stepfather of Lilly and Jack, recently underwent a polygraph test as part of the ongoing investigation.

Martell described the experience of taking the polygraph test as nerve-wracking, with questions being asked such as, “Did you kill Lilly and Jack?” Despite the intense scrutiny, Martell passed the test and has been cooperative with law enforcement throughout the investigation.

The children went missing on May 2, sparking an extensive search in the heavily wooded area near their home in Lansdowne Station. Despite the efforts of nearly a dozen RCMP units, little evidence has been uncovered in the case.

Martell has been proactive in assisting police with the investigation, offering up his property for search, providing his cellphone and banking information, and volunteering for the polygraph test. He emphasized that as the stepfather, he understands why he may be considered a prime suspect but maintains his innocence.

During the search, a piece of Lilly’s blanket was discovered near a child-sized bootprint, indicating that the children may have been in the area. However, RCMP have not confirmed any specific findings or developments in the case.

While the investigation continues, RCMP have received over 500 tips from the public and have engaged with organizations such as the National Centre for Missing Persons and the Canadian Centre for Child Protection. Despite the lack of concrete leads, investigators remain committed to following up on all information received.

Amy Hansen, a search manager involved in the search for Lilly and Jack, described the extensive efforts that have been made to locate the children. Search teams have spent thousands of hours combing through the dense woods, with a focus on finding any potential clues that may lead to their whereabouts.

Despite the challenges of the terrain and the lack of evidence, Hansen remains hopeful that the children are still in the area. She believes that the children may be hiding or sheltering in place, making it difficult for search teams to locate them.

As the search continues, Martell has expressed a desire to bring in cadaver dogs to aid in the efforts. However, RCMP has not deployed cadaver dogs as part of the investigation, stating that any searches involving the dogs will be based on information gathered through the ongoing investigation.

The case of Lilly and Jack Sullivan remains a heartbreaking mystery, with no clear answers as to their whereabouts. The community continues to rally together in the hopes of finding the missing children and bringing them home safely.
