Canada LILY & JACK SULLIVAN: Missing from Pictou County, Nova Scotia since 2 May 2025 - Ages 6 & 4 (2 Viewers)

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.

MacKinnon says a number of factors are taken into consideration when it comes to scaling back a search, including:
  • the age of the person/people missing
  • the weather
  • how long they’ve been missing for
  • what area has been covered/searched so far
When considering these factors, the RCMP says “the likelihood that they’re alive right now is very low.”

“If we thought they were alive right now, we’d still be out there,” MacKinnon said.
 
I had no idea....... oh wow...... I started getting suspicious of family yesterday but before yesterday I thought my god they have to be found in those woods their just little....
Something is wrong here
 
With this one I was suspicious from the start for a few reasons but I didn't want to jump. As I read the posts I hadn't yet from #1, I instantly figured he was stepdad, few posts down as I kept reading that was confirmed. Both parents said they aren't the type to go outside alone ever pretty much but they must have went out the sliding door (and that's silent) and stepdad remarked how he always has to tell them to shut it, yet it was shut. Hmm. Why does he have to remind them always to shut it if they never go outside alone?

Just all of it, it doesn't add up.

I've kind of held back on going there yet but I have my opinion but I try to be fair and not sure yet on a few things. I suspected him from the start yet she was present supposedly... I can't decide if one or both, I mean she's went against him in not talking to him and having left... Yet she was there and said what she recalls from that day and says she immediately called 911 when she realized they were missing...

I'll go this far, I don't believe they just wandered off. Am I 100%? No. I also don't think LE thinks it.

Someone said, I think @Kimster it has shades of Orrin and Orson West and it does. I'm just not sure if it is one or both here... And of course in that one I was convinced early on it WAS the parents, their story was so bad and not true and the behavior but they stuck together. These two are split--yet she was there allegedly too when they "disappeared".

You know I don't like to judge people either on circumstances and you name it but that back yard??? Now if it was someone disable that just can't take care of things, that would be one thing but these sound like two able bodied people and that's just an indicator that no one is taking care of much. It's very bad. And that's just on the outside.

And yes, we see that patio door on the back and yet the yard is fenced but the kids probably went out that way... Oh okay. Yet they never went outside alone.... Uhm okay...

The red flags are just all over the place here. And they just keep adding on.

The front isn't fenced at all though. Yeah that back yard is fenced, maybe they had dogs. For me, the fact they were not at school the prior two days gives me an inkling what happened. Plus the fact she has left.

True, however, one can see a patio door on the back and the parents thought they had to have went out a patio door, and looking at that place, I find it doubtful there is another patio door on the front. I could be wrong and we can't be sure of course...

I agree about the school thing, I have still never seen that myself but I trust you on that you read/saw that. So both were attending school, even the 4 year old? I am leaning the same way, I mean in every case, children especially, I ask where someone independent of the parents, family, who last saw them. The thing I'm most confused on is that means both are lying and yet the mother left and the two are not talking... That's the confusing part....

The one thing I can come up with is it said like both families got into it and if they are both covering up, and her family was blaming him maybe? And insisted she leave...?

To me that's the confusing part, seen many a case where it is both parents or a parent and a gf/bf... That mom placed herself there on the day they both claim they disappeared....

So what is it you are thinking with the missed days of school, that it did not happen on the day the two adults said...? That would be typically what I would think other than then why are the two not sticking together trying to cover up which is the far more typical scenario?

Yep i think they are lying and something happened at least two days prior to when they are claiming. The kids could not have gone far in a couple of hours. I think they should find the mum who has left with the one year old. Did LE actually ever see or speak to the mom?

That back yard reminds me of LISK's back yard.

Educated guess, yes, they have talked to her or tried to. No idea if she cooperated. But there are some things in things above as to what she said, she said too, they never went outside alone, not kids that did that, was the patio door, she was sleeping or fell back to sleep, and so on, so she talked at some point to someone. She more or less corroborates his story yet they allegedly or both families got in a fight in the yard and she left.

I'd agree, I ask in every case when someone ELSE last saw the kids.

The part that throws me is the different part in that she left and they aren't together if in it together. Usually when both know, they try to hide the fact together.

But yeah, my meter is going towards one or both for sure. And if we are thinking this, then count on LE knows far more than us I'd think.

I have to laugh because the first time I saw the pic above that is the first thing I thought too.

You know the property I sold I talk about, the rural one, when we bought it, it was a mess like that from the former owner. I saw the value of the location and the land. We spent all winter cleaning it up. It was probably WORSE in fact. My brother helped too when we were both working and such he'd go down and clean things up. Never did get around before divorce to fixing up the buildings or building a home, thanks to how he was, but we got the grounds looking really nice.

I try not to judge by such but that place, that picture, shows the sheer lack of care. When I lived on my own with my two kids (most of my life raising them) in town and with no help, I always cared how my lawn and such was because I didn't want neighbors affected. I would get a lot of leaves, tons of them in the fall falling, and my neighbor would have maybe paid to just have her yard raked, etc. and I'd get mine raked even if we'd just have done it, because mine kept falling, I could not cut the trees down but I kept on it. My kids when at a younger age would at times drop a wrapper outside or something and I'd get after them or it, you don't drop your garbage.

As I said above, maybe there are people who just can't keep up, like when disabled or some such, I am sure struggling right now, but that picture above says a lot to me. These seem to be clearly two able bodied adults.

And yes, the first thing I thought of was LISK's backyard yet supposedly Asa gardened and had plants back there and it was her joy or some such, give me a break. Probably what she maybe tried to do while living with a monster. It was awful.

Boy I could go on...

My place was a dump when we bought it too nearly 25 years ago. There were little tin sheds in a line in the back yard, some not even big enough to get in and a couple of old junky caravans. It looked like a shanty town. Plus one big old rusty barn. Pretty much the first thing we did was knock them down and replace with new barns while then renovating the beautiful original stone barns over the following 10 years.

Exactly what I was trying to do but right about when moving there ex got worse than ever. My guess is he was too far from a girlfriend in hindsight...

He was fine with it when we were clearing brush, tearing fence down, a fun time maybe on a weekend, but we weren't living there yet. Just like a fun project but we still lived in another town. Minute we moved there... Too far away from someone my guess is in hindsight.

You had a good hub. So yeah, anyhow, never really fixed up the buildings but I paid when I got it to keep it mowed when not always living there as I had to be over here too, and I barely had the money but I guess my point is I HAD SOMEONE take care of what needed to be, check on the place. Man I had two people over that year, two years? And it cost me, kept utilities on in both places, even internet, and I was barely making it so I am making a point here as I wind toward it that when two people who sound like they are able bodied, I mean they have a baby and she has younger children, the ones missing, let a place get like that, I don't get it and you did it, I did it even with little cash and from a distance. I didn't have the right mate. But anyhow, yes, what you said about LISK earlier too, so many neighbors and such have said how it made no sense, worse house in the neighborhood, yet he is going to Manhattan in a suit, and is an architect, they too took care of NOTHING.

So I try not to judge but yes, I do judge that picture with two missing kids going on here, at that point, just like LISK on arrest for being an SK, then it matters. We know in both cases as far as we can tell, no one was not able bodied. Yet they seem to live in an untaken care of place entirely.

It is also rare to see TWO whether killed by someone or disappearing. I mean it has happened of course but not all that common. Imo. First comments I saw from him sounded as he was irritated with the kids that weren't his, was pretty easy to guess he was a stepdad and baby was probably theirs...

Later he talks nicely of her kids. Uh huh. So I didn't say it, but I was leaning towards him right off. I won't say usually until I really get more to have reason for it but that was my right off the bat instinct. It is HER that throws me off a bit. I haven't seen this case anywhere but here so I only know what is here. But even with just that, it is beginning to seem yes, that it was both.

I think this is a case some YTers and such would have jumped on but for the many trials lately. And I don't do Reddit or FB.

I had no idea of the missing school thing. I did go straight to him but never said it.

Mom's clearly lying then too if she was home and something happened in the two days before.

I think LE has a good clue is my guess. They search because they have to of course in case the kids are alive, but also those searches also may recover the bodies if parents dumped them and so on.

Sadder than sh*t. He has been trying to say they were abducted. LE has been saying no evidence of that. There are hints here throughout.
 
Something is definitely off with this one. Can't quite place what, exactly, but definitely off.
yeah like i'm not convinced yet the step dad had anything to do with any foul play IF that's the case but i don't think he is like crime free lifestyle if ya know what i mean..... but mom..... she takes the baby and is outta there..... idk.......
 
yeah it's a disgusting trash pit..... i'm trying not to jump to conclusions but the whole place says neglectful parents lazy people with a trashed yard they should clean up
Yes, hard to look at that any other way yet they claim someone was always outside with the kids and so on. I kind of doubt that after seeing that place. Lazy at LEAST. I don't try to jump to conclusions either but again there are hints here or it seems to me. And I'm definitely now leaning in one direction.
 
and how can mom go stay 90 MINUTES AWAY WHEN HER KIDS ARE MISSING????? what is going on here?
Before there was more info here, only place I've looked at it, I thought at first she was upset for him for not watching them or something and blamed him for their disappearance. Or tried to think it was something like that. And LE did not want other people searching in the area.

However, yes, it is an odd move if you think your kids may be alive but maybe she couldn't be around him or felt like she could have the baby around him at first I thought.

As more has come out though, not on that thought any longer so much... If this is foul play, she almost had to be a part of it. Or lied for him...

Yeah moving that far away is one I've maybe never seen... I have thoughts on it that have changed now but from the start he was suspect to me. Now I wonder about both.

I am definitely leaning fairly hard that those kids never walked out of that house now. But she pretty much backed up his story of that day... So....?
