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

I find it very concerning that searchers have found NOTHING from the children. No boot, sock, other article of clothing. This makes me pause.

I am wondering if CPS had been involved with the family previously. Could explain why (if true) the youngest was removed from the family quite quickly.

This is perplexing for sure.

Whatever has transpired, there won’t be a good ending to this.

MOO

I’ve spent more than a couple of minutes trying to figure out why someone would use the word “instinct” when calling 911 after looking everywhere but failing to find one’s children. Any idea?

If I try to put myself in her shoes, I can understand her decision.

If my grand baby went missing---God Forbid---and my daughter-in-law and her Mom came to my property, accusing my son of being involved, I'd probably tell them to leave as well. Just sayin....

This doesn't make sense.
The mom and her mother are accusing the stepdad of having something to do with the kids' disappearance.
But it is clear from the beginning that the mom and stepdad were together in the bedroom when the kids slipped out through the sliding doors. (they said)
So how can they accuse stepdad of having something to do with their disappearance ? Mom was present! Mom is contradicting herself.

I've been pondering it and the thing that bothers me about DM saying that he will search for the children "for the rest of my life" suggests to me that he thinks there's no possibility that they might be found earlier.

JMO. I'm not accusing him of anything, just saying why that statement bothers me.

 

[MistyWaters]

Just to mention the RCMP did not rule out the possibility of an abduction. Having ‘no information currently’ indicates they have not shut the door.

“Rice said authorities have not ruled out any possibilities but currently have no information to suggest the children were abducted.”

Two Nova Scotia children are missing. Here’s a timeline of key events since the siblings vanished

Six-year-old Lilly Sullivan and her four-year-old brother Jack were reported missing on May 2

It reminds me of little Emile (France) and William Tyrell (Oz), Emile’s remains were eventually found but William is still missing, they both went missing when family was around but nobody saw them go

 

[Snoop Sister]

I don’t think we can assume that CPS has the child instead of the mom… I think he would just have to go through CPS to be able to see the child… But I could be wrong. Maybe she is not in the custody of the mother either.

I agree. There is no verification that Children’s Aide Society apprehended the baby girl. They may have an open case etc.I think perhaps Daniel may have gone through CAS because he had no way of getting in touch with his baby’s mother.

and DeOrr Kuntz, and Summer Wells.....neither ever found.

It’s very similar to stating that he’s never going to stop searching. Maybe that’s what he meant?

 

[Snoop Sister]

I've not seen anything that explicitly states the baby was taken into custody, but at the same time, why would DM go there to see the baby, if the baby was somewhere else?

There's SO much about this story we're not privvy to. Far more common with Canadian cases and the way both LE and media operate compared to US media & LE. On the one hand it's good for privacy reasons, on the other hand it tends to fuel 10 times more (usually) negative speculation.

It is a very private matter regarding the baby girl.

 

[Snoop Sister]

What about the grandmother who lives in the backyard...is she saying anything? Wouldn't she or her 'dog' have seen or heard something?

Also, wonder if there were drug use? Could be another reason for losing a child to CPS?

Who said the baby was lost to CPS? And, what exactly does list mean? Would you provide a link please?

 

[IzzyBlanche]

It’s very similar to stating that he’s never going to stop searching. Maybe that’s what he meant?

It is similar but not the same. It's a gut thing on my part and I can't quite put it into words.

I'm imagining one of my loved ones going missing and I can't imagine saying I will search for them until I die. It feels very unnatural to me.

I can, however, imagine saying I will search for them until they are found.

Again, JMO.

My first thought was she was meaning her 'intuition'

Yes but perhaps that’s just his way of expressing his intention to not give up trying to find them. That’s what it sounds like to me. He has no control over what we read into his statements beyond his actual words.

However I do hope he realizes the situation which will arise if he’s the one who locates the bodies

[bbm]

did they say they were arguing in the bedroom?

I have never read anything about an argument in the bedroom. Is there a link?

 

[MistyWaters]

Yes maybe, I had wondered if she was referring to an ‘urgent feeling’.

 

[Snoop Sister]

That is what i had thought she might have meant. Intuition as opposed to instinct but

and DeOrr Kuntz, and Summer Wells.....neither ever found.

I know how quickly kids can "dissappear". It happened to me when my son was three years old. He left the house, went across the street, to the neighbors house to play. I had no clue he could open the door, leave the house and go across the street.

I wasn't sure whether to hug him or smack him when I found him. I had gone crazy for over 15 minutes looking for him.

They go from "being a baby" to independently leaving the house, in a nanosecond. I pray for this family. There for the grace of God, this could have easily been me. Or any other family.

He attached a timeline to when he expects he doesn’t have to search for them anymore. jmo
