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

Didn't relocate the post, but here's the MSM from May 6

from: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova...en-pictou-county-lily-jack-sullivan-1.7527613:

The children's stepfather, Daniel Martell, said Mounties showed him shirts, a blanket and a water bottle found during the search near Gairloch Road, but he said none of the items belongs to either child.

I don't have time to listen to the audio, but from CBC Radio as shared by a trusted Websleuths member on June 17:

CANADA Post in thread 'Canada - Jack, 4 & Lilly Sullivan, 6, Vulnerable, wandered from home 10am, Gairloch Rd, Landsdowne Station, Pictou County, NS, 2 May 2025 #5'

Here’s a clip I haven’t seen before

Thank you for posting that. There’s a wealth of information in it. The lead searcher said that she has been a SAR worker for 22 years, and all signs indicate to her that the children are in the woods. They haven’t been found for all the reasons previously mentioned: dense brush and tree falls, challenging terrain, and children tend to shelter in small spaces when lost, making it difficult to find them.

Some excerpts. Reporter commentary unless otherwise indicated:

Some excerpts. Reporter commentary unless otherwise indicated:

-not one, but two missing children, a dog that barks at everything, a mother who left on the second day, a father who hasn't seen the kids in three years, and a stepfather trying to piece things together.

-the children's mother took the baby to be with her family in another part of the province. Her mother told CBC News the RCMP told them not to speak with news reporters. The RCMP says it just advised everyone to be mindful of the information they share publicly.

-Search crews returned for two more weekends until the end of May searching wells, mine shafts and septic systems, even flying a drone beneath the home. The four-year-old is wearing some blue dinosaur boots. Police say they found a bootprint, and listen to this in the radio chatter: “families uh brought us to a location there uh not far away that uh there's a part piece of a blanket”.

Just found a link that discusses the rest of the blanket in the bin

Police examining blanket, other items found during search for missing Nova Scotia children

Police declined to say whether they believe the children are still alive, or whether they believe foul play was involved

I’ve finally joined the majority of you and am choosing #2 sadly. I really wanted to believe they were placed in someone else’s care.

People have a passion for justice that can't be replaced with AI, and if Jack and Lilly were my kids, I'd want real human eyes doing that job.

I am not a fan of AI (but I am also old enough to remember being skeptical about and not in favor of ATMs - now I can’t imagine life without them!) but I think it could be used IN ADDITION TO and not INSTEAD OF human eyes.

Strange her blanket would be in trash. My inclination would be to save all her little things for memories unless of course they were dirty etc. was this the pink fabric on that window in photo? If pink fabric was in bin in garage, does that mean garbage pick up day hadn’t occurred, or did they not have garbage services being that rural? Where I live rural homes take their garbage to local dump, I wonder if checked?

I know a mom who lost her 13y/o son due to a chronic medical condition and she said that one of the hardest and most heartbreaking things she ever had to do was to wipe down the door to his bedroom that he had undoubtedly touched and had his fingerprints. She said she felt like she was erasing him. And this was several YEARS after he died.

My oldest son died almost 10 years ago and it still breaks my heart if I have to let go of something that was his. I can not fathom getting rid of ANYTHING that belonged to my child so early in their disappearance and investigation. NO WAY!!

The video is interesting as it shows the trailer patio doors and the place they played in the woods.

 

[Slebby]

I find the video is pretty informative. It is helpful to see the area around the property, not just the same few photos we’ve been seeing.
I chuckled to see her dog, recalling how we wondered, early on, if a dog attack may have been a factor. I think we can rule that out, lol.
Seeing the distance between the sliding door and the bedroom shared by DM and MBM is also helpful. It could explain not hearing the sliding door. Though I do wonder how JM was able to hear the children’s voices but DM and MBM were not.
IMHO

 

[FansBlowing]

She comes off as believable to me. She did not see them that morning though, she only heard the kids. This is the same thing that Malehya said. Could Daniel have had an audio recording on his phone?

 

[Ontario Mom]

I believe every word this woman has said. The sliding door IS exactly as DM has described it, very quiet. Since their room is all the way at the back of the trailer, there's no way they'd have heard the kids go out. Just like they said.

JM's statements in her interview corroborate everything DM has said.

 

[TMich6811]

So her account is:
She was on the phone with her brother at 848
She fell back asleep
Her dog barked waking her up
She heard the kids because her bedroom is right where they play
Heard nothing For a bit
Heard Daniel yelling for them
Mom said they had been gone for 20 minutes
She said they had to carry Jack when in the woods because it’s so dense
She doesn’t believe they are in the woods

So with the recap in mind

I don’t understand how 20 minutes could have been identified. They said they didn’t hear them leave the yard. How did they have any idea of how they were gone 20 minutes?

If you watch the video again, her bedroom is literally 10 feet away (if that) from where the kids play.
DM and MBM's room is all the way at the end of the trailer. It's easy to understand why they didn't hear the kids outside but that she did.

"I want the rumours to stop. I just want everything to stop. For me, for the sake of the other children, my grandchildren. They don't deserve this. They're innocent of everything.

She also says that if she heard them leave the fenced area she would have heard lily say come on Jacky- or something and she didn’t hear any of that

I understood it to mean between the last time they were heard playing and the first time Daniel was heard calling their names was roughly 20 minutes.

 

[TMich6811]

Sorry one last thought I’m just getting to really look at it we know the fence wasn’t finished and didn’t look like that in the other photos. I would have liked to see the area by video before the fence was all finished
