I’m attempting to identify the location where the pink blanket was found. This is the best I can do.

Cadaver dogs fail to find remains in search for two missing Nova Scotia children

HALIFAX — Two tracking dogs trained to search for human remains have failed to find any trace of two children reported missing from their rural Nova Scotia home more than five months ago, the RCMP said Wednesday. The Mounties said that in late September, the two cadaver dogs and their handlers...

In July, the Mounties said they were conducting forensic tests on the pink blanket, which was found during an earlier search of the heavily wooded areas near the children’s home. At the time, police said family members had confirmed the blanket belonged to Lilly.

In August, the Mounties released search warrant documents indicating that family members had found the blanket in a tree on Lansdowne Station Road on May 2, one kilometre from the family home.

Police later dispatched a tracking dog to the area where the blanket was found, but the animal was unable to pick up a scent, the documents say. On May 4, police found another piece of blanket inside a trash bag at the end of the driveway of the children’s home.

Google Map - Note: Lansdowne Station Road is just a very short connector road, not much distance to it at all. Okay, let’s see one km from family home (marked in red). I would assume the RCMP measured this distance by road. Strangely one kilometre arrives exactly right at the location of the old rail stop named “Landsdowne Station” but there’s nothing left now. Didn’t the RCMP set up their command post on Landsdowne Station Road as well? I’d be curious why family members (Maleyha, mother, cousin??? I forgot)) would’ve been searching there. ie Were the children familiar with walking down those roads? But all in all I’d say this is a usual location for a torn pink blanket to be found up in a tree along side of the road.View attachment 638476

*If I’m recalling it right*, DM took a reporter near where the blanket was found, but they didn’t give an exact location. It’s a video, likely the CBC.

I’ll try to find it when I’m able.

The blanket looks staged imo. unless a bald eagle took the pieces up to its nest or a small tornado lol

If you zoom in on the windows of their trailer you can see pink “curtains.” Didn’t Daniel say he supposedly he used the pink blanket on a door? sus

The curious thing about that picture is there is an identical shot (from a different angle) where there is no pink curtain in the window. I will provide photo link.

 

[MistyWaters]

Are there any other types of birds or animals that could have done it, just to rule it out?

That’s a good question. It would depend how large and weight of the pink piece of blanket and I don’t think we know that. Also how far up in a tree was it? 5 or 6 feet an adult could certainly reach but 10 or 15 feet, I would have to question how it got there.

Yes, I was wondering about the weight of it. I haven't followed much on this case lately, but there certainly are some strange things about it, like the two sweaters supposedly missing and this blanket matter!

Maybe the sweaters are up a different tree, lol!

Yes, the weight of the blanket, based on the photo posted recently, makes me doubtful any bird, squirrel or wind carried it a km away in such a densely treed area and wrapped it in a tree.

lol!!! (re. sweater comment, heck we need a few laughs these days) I just looked up the birds common in Pictou, N.S. and crows and ravens are a few. At one website www.chirpingofbirds.com
it says ravens can pick up the following weight lol....

How Much Weight Can a Crow Carry?​

General Carrying Capacity of Crows​

The carrying capacity of a crow varies depending on several factors, but on average, a crow can carry an object weighing around 20-30 grams.

This is approximately the weight of a small mouse or a large strawberry.

That photo doesn’t really match any LOL doll blankets that google found for me. It appears they’re very colourful. Not knowing the source, the photo might not be authentic especially if it came from FB.

Ah! And I read that Pictou, N.S. also has several owl varieties, and apparently depending on which type, they can pick up between 2 to 5 lbs.! Who knew? lol.

Or bald eagles?

Or bald eagles?

Yep! Apparently, all over N.S. But like you say, we don't know if there is a legitimate photo of the piece of cloth in the tree available or not, and the weight, height it was found, etc. https://amongtheeaglesandpines.com/the-best-places-to-photograph-bald-eagles-in-nova-scotia/

You're right, that was stated quite a while back in the thread.
Well that piece of blanket in that tree was not the one Lilly carried everywhere with her, imo.

I was referring to the knapsack though.

I tried searching the picture with Google Lens to see where it originated, but there were no matches. Is there a private FB group for this case? If so, I'm guessing that's where it came from

 

[Serononin]

I think this might actually be a match for the blanket in the picture. It's got the reddish-pink edging and the same purple exclamation point-looking thing. It's not an exact match, but accounting for tearing and fading, it's by far the closest I've found so far. It's showing as 'currently unavailable', but the link is to Amazon Canada, so it evidently was sold there at some point

Afaik, MBM had washed only all the clothing of Lilly and Jack in her grandma's home, nothing else. (Why, that remains a question.) What, if she really also washed 2 of DM's t-shirts, because they were dirty with some mysterious stains, then disposed of them at grandma's, when the shirts didn't get clean enough. Maybe, she didn't know about the reason for such stains, but feared, something might have happened. Then, when her children were missing, she understood maybe a connection between DM's dirty shirts and her missing children. She didn't tell anything, BUT she had some nervous breakdown in the ambulance car and suddenly disappeared with the baby and her mother.

What, if DM didn't know, MBM had his t-shirts washed and disposed of. What, if he didn't know of some mysterious dirt on the clothing. Stupid or lying - Idk.

ETA: What, if MBM knows, what perhaps happened, but fears DM's revenge, if she accuses him, but he is not yet in custody.

Speculation and MOO.

Second photo. The cars are parked in the exact same spot. Where did the pink blanket / curtain go?

 

[BetsieR1]

Did we rule out raccoons moving the blanket?

You could be right. It does have a hot pink strip near the edges.

I’m mystified as to what this blanket signifies. Tied up in a tree it’s sort of like ‘X’ marks the spot.

If the RCMP command centre was on Landsdowne Station Road (only a gravel road according to photos) and the family found the blanket in a tree on the side of Landsdowne Station Road, why didn’t the RCMP ever mention it was found close to their command centre?

Okay, so, the blanket is a blanket. Not a bed sheet, nor a scarf. Progress. Definitely not what I saw in the window of the trailer.

There is unfortunately conflicting reporting on this. The reports saying Lansdowne Station Rd are wrong. It was actually found on Lansdowne Rd, toward the pipeline.

And although the court documents say exactly one km, DM took a reporter to a spot that is 1.15 km by my measure, on a corner with a rough side road that goes nowhere except a couple of clearings. This is the spot where DM said it was found.

So toward the pipeline, area where the bootprint was found?
