Nova Scotia RCMP Court Documents Reveal Latest in Search for Missing Children Lilly and Jack Sullivan

RCMP court filings have provided new details in the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of six-year-old Lilly Sullivan and her four-year-old brother Jack from Lansdowne Station, Nova Scotia. The siblings were reported missing from their rural home in Pictou County on May 2, 2025, triggering an extensive and prolonged search by law enforcement and volunteers that continues months later.

According to the court documents released as part of the investigation process, police sought multiple legal authorizations to obtain cellphone records, banking data and surveillance video that could help track the children’s movements in the days surrounding their disappearance. The records show the RCMP used these requests to look for evidence of activity connected to the family or potential leads on routes taken by the children.

Investigators also administered multiple polygraph tests during the probe, including exams for the children’s mother, stepfather and the siblings’ biological father. While results indicated those tested answered questions truthfully, police emphasized that these assessments are tools to guide inquiry rather than confirm innocence or guilt.

Search efforts over several months included the use of cadaver detection dogs and teams covering large areas of dense forest near the siblings’ home. Although these searches have not located any remains, authorities continue to explore all possible scenarios and appeal to the public for any information that may assist the case.

Items collected during the early days of the search — including the children’s toothbrushes, a sock and pieces of a pink blanket identified as belonging to Lilly — remain part of the evidence being examined. One piece of the blanket was found near the family home and another in a trash bag, prompting further forensic analysis.

RCMP have confirmed they have interviewed dozens of people and reviewed hundreds of video files, yet no confirmed sightings or definitive clues have emerged that explain the circumstances of the children’s disappearance. Investigators continue to assess tips and evidence, urging anyone with information to contact the Northeast Nova Scotia Major Crime Unit.

The case has drawn national attention and remains a mystery, with officials stating that they have not ruled out any possibilities as the investigation moves forward under the Missing Persons Act
