Lily Sullivan, 6, and Jack Sullivan, 4, were reported missing around 10 a.m. Friday. They were last seen on Gairloch Road in Lansdowne Station.

Police believe the siblings wandered away from their home and say there is no information to suggest they were abducted.

Martell says he and Malehya Brooks-Murray asked Lily and Jack to quiet down on Friday morning to let the baby sleep.

He estimates it took up to 20 minutes to notice the two children were gone.

“A few minutes went by, I heard nothing. Got up, went out in the kitchen, checked everything, I seen they weren’t there. Checked their bedrooms and they weren’t there. So I looked out the backyard, that’s the only other place they would go, and their boots were gone. The door, the sliding door, was closed. Usually they don’t close the door, I usually have to remind them, remind them to close the door over and over,” he says.

Martell says he then jumped in his vehicle and started looking for them.

So were the childrens' mother's relatives staying in that camper van thingee? When did they last see the kids, then? Thats weird that they and the mother just up and left.
She said a few posts above that it was HIS relatives in the motorhome (looks like a motorhome to me, assume that's the thing in the picture on the right upper side.
 
I think his mother lives in the camper and ordered Mommy's family off the property.

It sounds like the Mommy's family showed up and started hurling accusations at step-dad.
Yeah me too. The big question to me is was mom part of this or did she know... She gave a similar story to him. But she also left. I think she left because of her family, not wanting them to see her guilt when they believed it to be just him. I'm fairly decided here but her leaving threw it off a bit and is the fuzzier part as to her involvement... Per some post way above, she places herself there the day LE was called, and they alleged they disappeared and gave a similar story...

Wonder if her family had ever been there. That's some rough living. But for all I know, that whole area could be like that.
 
Implies to me it is HIS mom's property or that he has the control there. That's what i was saying earlier, that the two families supposedly feuded and then she left.
Ok, so his mom lives there. Why were her family there then ? Especially as they live 90 miles away supposedly.

I'm just not getting why the mother's parents showed up but then just left with the mother without helping to look for their grandkids at all.

Good question. I'd assume they knew him and didn't much like him maybe hence the immediate probably insistence she leave with them--although it is also said he kicked people off the property but that could mean the family and they insisted she go along.

I watch a cooking type show of a family in Nova Scotia, many of them are really more like family vlogs, they will show some cooking, a day in the life, occasionally a trip. She takes us with on their annual trip every year and it is a beautiful country. They live in a fairly nice area, not shabby at all, but not like rich either, like a neighborhood of houses not too far apart but enough you are not crowded and actually they have a pretty big back yard. Doesn't totally relate I guess but I guess I'm just thinking out loud to the point of when this began I never pictured a home like the one of these people in Nova Scotia as all I've seen of it and I've seen my vlog family travel through a large part of it and I was surprised to see this mess of a place they (these parents) live in. I guess though there are rich, middle class and poor in any area... Have no idea at all what county or whatever the family I watch is in compared to where this is.

I'm thinking his mother and/or stepfather own the property. I don't think we know do we? I mean he could. Clearly I'd say the mom of the kids does not as he kicked them off.

I guess I was naive (stupid) to just be shocked by their home due to the show I watch in Nova Scotia lol. I should know better. I DO know better but I just never expected a hovel. I've again seen a bit of it when they travel but I'm sure now thinking the right way that of course they aren't going down back roads and such, they are generally heading off to a destination.

I guess her family could have been there back to your point but maybe doubtful too as it just doesn't look like the kind of place you'd host people, plus they are too lazy it looks like to host people. I wonder if her parents live better? Clearly his mom and stepfather have no problem parking in the squalor. Doesn't appear they were there to help clean up either.....

This case just has so many red flags. And I can't see any way mom didn't know what happened or at least believed some story from him and covered for him at minimum. As she was there the day they claim they disappeared and their stories are similar. She knew in not very long they weren't in the house as well... Claims she called for help immediately on realizing. So logically, if something was done to them and they were disposed of (hate saying that), she is at least lying and at worst involved.

I'd surmise she and her two kids moved in with him. And then she and him had a baby.

Just getting some thoughts out. My last one is that usually from what I've seen Canada doesn't often give a ton of details on their crimes while in progress (IF it is a crime of course). I am surprised we are getting a fair amount of information. Maybe it depends on the province. In watching for some years Linda at It's A Crime, she is Canadian, she mostly does American cases for that very reason, we give out more info (although a few states are getting where they seal way too much these days imo). She has done a few Canadian ones but mostly has followed our cases.

Long I realize, didn't start out meaning to be, but just getting some thoughts out while I'm having them.

I don't know but it would be an almost certain guess that they were there because the kids were missing and perhaps because they suspected him, or something on that order. As to not searching, it did say upthread in some article, they didn't want others searching if I recall correctly, yet the stepdad touts how she wasn't searching (mom) and was gone while he did a search every day. Sooo hard to say what is fact there...

The families got into it supposedly, now we know his folks were there too, and he either told them to leave it sounds like, whether he told her to or not, her family probably insisted she get the baby and come with them is my thought as they didn't feel them to be safe. Honestly how could they search there on that property if he was kicking them off of it?

And who knows if officers or anything were there? One would think so although not sure if it was said. Maybe they suggested it.

Those are my thoughts anyhow.
 
I hate that I can't link easily. Maybe I will try, my mouse just isn't rolling well on it's surface. managed it the other night ONCE putting it on something else.

Watching something that says these kids were not in school ALL WEEK and they went missing on a Friday and it also has a Canadian interview with stepdad on it. Do we have any interviews with the parents? I thought I looked at all, but maybe I missed something.
 
Okay and as I continue now is a video of mom. I have read what she said but not seen her saying it. Maybe I just missed video parts in reading links.
 
Okay and it seems they are not married. I kind of doubted that myself. I however hate this new trend of calling a bf or some such stepparent. Seen it in quite a few. NO, they are not. So he is NO stepfather! He is nothing but a live-in bf whether she moved in with him or vice versa. It also has a legal definition for anyone who might think what's the difference.
 
In a headline for a YT show that I didn't watch, it detailed some key things in this case and one of them was that both these kids are nonverbal. I believe it said according to their aunt. Did we know that one before? I assume it's true if from an aunt. It's' the first I heard that. I mean I can't confirm it like by LE or anything and didn't watch the show.

Has anyone else heard that?

For me, it makes foul play even more likely. The picture I'm getting and perhaps it is wrong, and have been feeling for awhile is the baby is theirs (or at least his) and these two weren't and also that they just didn't fit into his or their idea of a perfect world. Although maybe I'm wrong as what is perfect about living in a dump like that?

I get the impression neither of these two work, does anyone know? There'd be benefits for her of course. I briefly looked up benefits for First Nation in Canada and they get a lot of them including housing help. If like here, didn't look this up, people with kids generally get benefits too, not sure if like here.

Someone I watched said they think LE has a far bigger clue what is going on than they are saying and pointed out several reasons why. I tend to agree. I'm beyond thinking this was not foul play, not that still couldn't be wrong. They gave the reasons that indicate that too, many of which we've seen and perhaps a few more.

So I'm at the point of wondering when an arrest/s will come. I am fairly certain they are building a case and I hope they aren't going to wait for the discovery of the bodies to charge.

All jmo of course.

That was a story early on. Somebody said “autism” and “non verbal”.
Then in another interview they said that wasn’t accurate, they’d talk your ear off, talk to anyone, super friendly and didn’t know a stranger.

I actually never saw the nonverbal until I just mentioned it but that is why I said wasn't sure if verified. So we don't know then?? And this was recent.

Not that it matters overall but if nonverbal, they coudn't have yelled back maybe if they heard searchers, might matter that way, and some various things like that.

So what do you feel to be fact? That they were very talkative? Seriously asking. I honestly don't know.
 
I can imagine to woods there are dense.... they searched a pond i think i heard and came up with nothing. i know they have used k9's but they should probably switch out teams and let different dogs use their skill set
 
If these kids were killed for instance in the week they were out of school, they could be anywhere, bodies transported for instance. Although I don't disagree that another set of dogs or another search could ever hurt.
