''The documents also show Janie MacKenzie, Martell's mother, did a polygraph test on June 10. Her "physiology" was "not suitable for analysis" and no opinion was rendered.''

A heart condition perhaps?

Influence of medication?

Probably either a medical condition or a medication that affects bodily responses like heart rate and/or blood pressure. I daresay that happens quite a lot with polygraphs of people over a certain age (although I don't know how old JM actually is)

He'd have a very difficult time covering his tracks and would most likely leave forensic evidence if he murdered his kids. And his lie detector test would most likely reveal his guilt. Also we have the testimony of the other female living on the property who heard the kids playing in the yard. DM just doesn't seem to have the level of genius required to plan such an act. So far, we haven't heard of any evidence to suggest that he murdered the kids. Of course, we have no idea what evidence the police have gathered.

Really, we haven't heard anything we didn't already know. We already knew about the accusations that have resulted in the current charges. If the victim is MBM, then the charges should come as no surprise.

Unfortunately the women living at the property have two factors that make it hard to decide if they told the truth .

One is DMs mother and the kids are not her bio grandchildren, which of those persons interests may she have possibly had at heart ? Or is it the Mandela effect in action ?

Second woman living at property is allegedly an abused person ,a person we can speculate was living in fear if allegations are true . Statistics will tell us abused persons are often afraid to speak up and are terrified of their abuser .even after the abuser no longer has control . So can we speculate she may not have gave a true version of events that morning either ,out of reflexive self protection mode

Murder is committed not by genius but firstly by anger ,sometimes also greed and secondly by determination to get away with it imo.

Court documents say the victim was a female and the alleged incidents occurred on Gairloch Road in Lansdowne on Dec. 1, 2024 – about six months before the children vanished from their home.

The stepfather of Lily and Jack Sullivan, who have been missing from their Lansdowne Station, N.S., home since last May, has been charged with assault, forcible confinement and sexual assault.

So if things were coming to a head - DV possibly escalating, kids getting noticed by teachers, kids possibly getting interviewed by social services and things seemed to be coming to the surface.

Seems like DM thought the way to solve the problem was perhaps getting rid of the kids to not be exposed.

He does seems like a narcissist. One thing a narcissist hates is being exposed. Their reputation is huge for them and how others see them (except the people they live with who see their true, ugly side).

The only thing that still nags me is - I still can't see how he could pull this off for so long! He's not smart. Maybe dumb luck? Or he had help. Seems like DM is guilty but something is still nagging at me that doesn't fit!! Not sure why...

The allegations of sexual assault are something we haven’t heard before.

We knew MBM had told her grandmother that DM had done abusive things to her, but we didn’t know what she had said to the RCMP about it—assuming that MBM is the victim.

The timeline of the alleged assaults were also when Jack sustained at least two black eyes.

September 2024-May 2025 seems to have been a boiling point of issues in that household.

I wonder if these charges are a way to force her to talk, to testify? And if so, will she?

When she initially told the RCMP about the assault during her interviews, recently unredacted and published by the media, surely she was asked if she wished to press charges at the time? If she refused, has she now agreed or were the charges filed without her concurrence? What happens next may move the investigation forward, hopefully.

Committing homicide without leaving a trace of evidence requires a high level of intelligence and planning. The majority of homicides in Canada are solved within 100 days. I don't believe that DM has the intellectual ability to commit a double homicide without leaving a trail of evidence.

even a broken clock is right twice a day. I don't believe DM is a genius. But I also don't believe every unsolved homicide or other major crime committed was necessarily committed by a genius. Sometimes a lack of evidence isn't because it doesn't exist, it just hasn't been located or identified yet. Sometimes even dumb criminals take a while to be caught because - luck.

Digital forensics is the new DNA.

There will be limited digital forensics for a crime committed in an area without ring cameras and CCTV.

If a cellphone was stationary, it won't help (other than leaving a black out for the very period a crime occurred).

Perhaps we're seeing the challenges of that.

Murder by strangulation or suffocation is unlikely to leave much evidence behind. If a body can be disposed of, so can, say, a pillow.
IMO
