CANADA Canada - Jack, 4 & Lilly Sullivan, 6, Vulnerable, wandered from home 10am, Gairloch Rd, Landsdowne Station, Pictou County, NS, 2 May 2025 #2

Global News reached out to the RCMP on Monday, 10 days since the children went missing, for an update.

“I know everyone’s affected by it, (and) investigators continue their hard work,” he said. “Right now I can’t provide any additional details as I don’t want to jeopardize the investigation, but as soon as we have an update we will provide information to the public.”
Case of 2 missing N.S. children enters 10th day as police remain tight lipped | Globalnews.ca

in the article, which may have already been posted and missed by me, DM says that RCMP have been through the property and structures with dogs. He doesn't specify when that happened but I am suspecting it would have been recently and those dogs cadaver dogs. Because we already know scent tracking dogs were used in the first day(s)

‘I can’t provide any additional details as I don’t want to jeopardize the investigation’

Maybe I am reading too much into the choice of words but I read that as something more criminal

Not certain but it seems like it's gone quieter now ?
No requests for the public to help search, or at least to check their outbuildings, etc.

This is looking grim, and how I wish they'd been found earlier, hungry and bug-bitten & scratched but ok !

That's a good point

Rural neighbors will often be asked to check their properties and that hasn't happened here.

They've asked everyone to stay away from the search areas.

It's gone very quite

I think their waste pick-up is on Tuesdays FWIW

Looking further, IF it is Tuesday, as it seems, its actually every other Tuesday so they would have had trash collection Tuesday April 22 and not again until Tuesday May 6th FWIW.

I agree with this assessment of words

Fairly new to the case, but was wondering the status of the children's biological father/paternal side of the family. I keep hearing about the step dad, but was wondering if the bio dad and his family has been ruled out.

They haven’t publicly ruled anything out or spoke about bio dad. I’m sure they would’ve went down that avenue by now though.

Investigation wise I think the quieter the better.

If they believed public may have info they don’t then they would make that please. RCMP has taken heat for being too tightlipped in situations to the detriment of public safety. They’re going to avoid that now.

That being said they have put out the general “if you know something call this number”

Did you read the post I responded to? I haven’t noticed anything to indicate a connection with these missing children and public safety.

In my opinion

If you take the parents at their word and they are truthful in describing what they heard/saw/did that morning then they were at minimum neglectful that morning.


Personally I don’t take them at their word for many reasons.

Absolutely-those two are at best, neglectful parents. That doesn’t mean they are guilty of anything else though…but your mind could wander in that direction pretty easily.

Agreed. Find it hard to argue against that part now. Kids are victims.

 

[MistyWaters]

I've no doubt people are coming forward with any helpful information, but it doesn't mean they wouldn't make a formal announcement.

There was an alert sent out to several areas the day of the disappearance iirc. It was mentioned in several of the early media articles.

Perhaps it was this?

This is the Canadian equivalent to what’s commonly stated in the US about the necessity of “protecting the integrity of the investigation”. It’s not only a Canadian thing to be tight-lipped. It doesn’t necessarily mean anything more than they don’t discuss details about an ongoing investigation.

I do remember that, and someone mentioned a number to call.

But in my experience of following missing person cases where abduction is suspected there's usually follow up requests. Like if you have a camera on this street please contact, if you saw a van similar to this one. If they suspect the kids of roaming they might ask as mentioned above please check your outbuildings.

Nothings has been requested, they've asked public to stay away, and haven't provided any further updates that might be helpful such as if the parents noticed Jack's favorite pajamas are missing etc.

Yes, one and the same, thank you!

No they haven’t asked for any further assistance from the public, perhaps because they have no reason to require it. All we can do is wait patiently for the next update. I’m certain the media is requesting when that will occur.

Yes those two were certainly neglectful in the care of the 4 and 6 year children. Then the kicker is each essentially told the same story, openly admitting their neglect in supervision of the children without shame or hesitation. I maybe can excuse a step-parent a little but the biological mother was just as distant.

Makes you think that was the most positive way the story could be spun…

Certainly an interesting choice to go with left in a pull-up and boots.
