Hey guys, I’m going to make this super quick, but this has come out in the last hour, so I think you could kind of call it breaking news. Totally unexpected.

The RCMP has reported that there is going to be yet another search for Lilian Jack Sullivan tomorrow. Ground search efforts are planned for tomorrow, May 31st, as a missing person’s investigation into the disappearance of Lilian Jack Sullivan continues.

In an effort to advance the ongoing investigation and locate Lilian Jack, searches from ground search and rescue teams and the RCMP will focus on specific areas around Gerlock Road and the nearby pipeline trail, where a bootprint was previously located.

We continue to ask the public to avoid the search area to allow trained searchers to do their work. Any future searches will be determined based on the course of the investigation.

So, they’re focusing on the pipeline — this is a trail where a natural gas pipeline runs. I think it was the day after Lily and Jack went missing that they found a child’s bootprint. They searched the area and did kind of focus over into that westerly direction when you look at the search maps.

They’re back there tomorrow, so they obviously still have it in their heads that Lil and Jack could have wandered off. That’s intriguing, given that just yesterday — or was it the day before? — they appealed to the public for dash cam footage from noon April 28th to noon May 2nd. That kind of implied to me that they were focusing on suspicious vehicles and movements around the area that could indicate maybe an abduction, or at least tracking people’s movements.

I don’t think they’ve got any idea at all what happened, and they’re just trying everything. So I’m glad — glad they’re back out there.

Now, CBC has picked up on this and has got some quotes from Daniel, the stepdad. So, that’s the news release that we’ve just read — wish this map would stop moving.

Daniel Martell, the children’s stepfather, has previously told CBC that two boot tracks were found near his home as well as another nearby. The RCMP’s major crime unit has been involved since the day after the children were reported missing.

Martell said the disappearance has taken a toll on him and his family. “Every day I wake up, it feels like I’m reliving a nightmare,” he said on Friday, nearly one month after the children went missing. It’s four weeks today since they went missing.

He looks tired. He looks broken. Honestly, the main feeling of sadness just turns to anger because there’s no evidence after one month. Still, Martell has not lost hope.

“That’s all we have at this point,” he said. “That’s the only goal I have — to bring Jack and Lily home.”

Martell has asked the RCMP for a polygraph test earlier in the investigation. He told CBC — we talked about this in my video today — that he did have the test and he said, “You really can’t point fingers at me anymore.”

Okay. Martell also addressed rumors that there was a party at the home before the children went missing. “There was no drug party the day before the disappearance,” he said. “That’s absolute nonsense.”

Robert Parker, one of the representatives for the Municipality of the County of Pictou, said there is a feeling of disappointment and sadness in the community.

“We haven’t even found one iota, it appears, of what happened to little Lily and little Jack,” said Parker in an interview on Friday. “It’s hard to believe that many people have looked for that long — including search parties from all over this province — and the RCMP have been involved since day one. Lots of others looking and trying, but not one iota that I’ve heard of, anyway, as to a hint as to where the two little ones went.”

Parker said residents are feeling anxious and frustrated by the many questions left unanswered four weeks later.

“I know older people in their 90s — they’ve told me they can’t sleep at night. Those little ones — all the little ones — belong to all of us. We all feel like they’re part of our family. They’re part of the Pictou County family. They’re part of the Nova Scotia family. We need to find answers.”

Yeah. Well, hopefully the searches will continue. The other day they said they didn’t have any other searches planned — and then we get this. But long may it continue until little Lily and little Jack are found and are brought home.
