''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.''

Janie reminds me of a hummingbird that's probably why they couldn't get a read on her, too fidgety.

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.

Damn straight murder is committed by ANGER.

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...

Need more time to collect my thoughts...

I agree, that's the ONE thing that doesn't align or make sense (to me). How could he not leave SOMETHING for LE to grasp onto?

Maybe LE have more than we know but I still can't shake that DM could pull this off, he seems like a f*ck up in life, but can get away with murder? Unless he had help from someone smarter than him - but then it would be very pre-meditated.

There is a piece of the puzzle missing for me too. Although the current charges are horrendous, and I believe every word. I still think the arrest might be a tactic to get DM to cooperate further with the investigation, name his accomplices or expose an accomplice -- a link to Lilly & Jack's disappearance.

The thing that stands out to me is the gold chain around DM's neck that he proudly displays as if it's a symbol of his status in the community.

More to this, this article states MBM was “specifically asked” on May 9th if DM was ever physically abusive and so she gave some examples. I truly do wonder if these charges would’ve ever been laid had these documents not been released due to the media fighting in court for the unsealing. The timing can’t just be a coincidence IMO. The big question - is MBM looking forward to pursuing this through the courts?

Missing Sullivan children's stepfather arrested by RCMP

RCMP arrested the stepfather of the Sullivan children missing from Pictou County, on unrelated charges, police told CityNews. On Monday, around 11:30 a.m., Daniel Martell, 34, was arrested and is facing offences of assault, forcible confinement and sexual assault of an adult victim. Martell is...

“Earlier this month, newly unsealed court documents detailed the relationship between Martell and Brooks-Murray, hinting that he was sometimes physical with her.

The documents include excerpts from police interviews.

On May 9, Brooks-Murray was specifically asked if the children’s stepfather was physically abusive.

“Malehya said he would try to block her, hold her down and once he pushed her,” the document reads. “She said he would also take her phone from her when she tried to call her mom, which would sometimes be physical and hurt.”

I hoping these new unrelated charges are the beginning of justice. I agree with others about DM's intelligence and him being able to commit a crime against the children and get away with it for so long. But sometimes people get lucky. It's a very rural place and I think that is playing into the lack of evidence. I truly believe if they had wandered off there would have been something found by now, a Welly, clothing, pull up, backpack. All MOO

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.

To get away with murder, someone doesn't have to be a genius who planned and executed it perfectly. They just have to be lucky.

MOO
