Despite reviewing 5,000 video files and 600 public tips, the RCMP’s “intensive” investigation into the disappearance of two young Nova Scotia siblings nearly three months ago remains unsolved, according to Global News.
Lilly (6) and Jack Sullivan (4) went missing May 2 from their Lansdowne Station, Pictou County home. Mounties began a missing persons investigation the same day.
RCMP are forensically examining seized materials, including a pink blanket, found during ground and air searches.
Daniel Robert Martell, stepfather to the missing children, confirmed it was a piece of Lilly’s blanket. “There is more evidence than what the public knows, but I can’t elaborate on any of that,” he said in a CBC interview.
RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Carlie McCann told reporters it was found outside near Lilly and Jack’s home. “Police are investigating if and how it relates to her and her brother’s disappearance.”
Volunteers and rescue officials dedicated 12,000 hours to the search, looking for the children and clues. Police scaled back the search on May 7, citing low survival odds.
Searches of surrounding areas found little evidence, save a boot print and the blanket.
