DANIEL MARTELL SHARES MORE DETAILS | LILLY AND JACK SULLIVAN
Another day goes by, and Lily and Jack are still missing.
It looks like this entire case is shifting in a new direction. At first, they were focused on the theory that the children wandered into the woods and got lost. But after hours and hours of searching—and the scent suddenly ending at the driveway—I think they are now moving toward foul play, with people close to the children possibly being involved.

Police still say there is no evidence that an abduction has taken place. But from the way the updates are phrased, there seems to be a change in the investigation.

Polygraph tests were done, and it was stated to the media that such a resource won’t be wasted on people who just claimed to have seen or heard something. It’s used for people who they suspect may not be telling the truth—or may be involved in the children’s disappearance.

We definitely know that Daniel was given a polygraph, and I don’t think it’s because he just asked for one.

Well, we now have more information—because Daniel keeps talking and talking to the media. He says their phones were seized by police. Both his phone and Malayah’s phone were confiscated and searched. He also shared that he was asked during the polygraph whether he had anything to do with the children’s disappearance.

That is interesting and shows that investigators are definitely focusing on the possibility that he or Malayah had something to do with Jack and Lily’s disappearance.

Jack and Lily’s stepfather says he was the first to volunteer for a polygraph, hopeful it would help the search and ease public speculation:

“I know it would be a big help in the case, and kind of narrow down maybe some of the speculations—and just provide more evidence.”

Daniel Martell says that during the polygraph test, he was asked several things, including whether or not he was involved in the disappearance of the children. He says both his cell phone and that of his estranged wife were confiscated and searched by investigators.

Despite this and weeks of interviews, there still hasn’t been a major break in the case.

For their stepfather, the silence inside the once-busy home is deafening:

“Going from a family of seven to… just me. I mean, I have nothing but time to just think.”

RCMP insists this is still very much an active investigation. They’re reviewing surveillance footage and following digital evidence. But the emotional toll has already left its mark on Martell—including the loss of custody of his daughter, Meadow:

“I haven’t even got to see my own kids. Not even Meadow yet. But I’m still hopeful. I have supervised visits coming up that are granted by CPS.”

The children’s stepfather says he’s grateful to the investigators and to people who continue to share tips—even if none have yet led to finding Jack and Lily.
