Canada is shaken to its core this morning following a heartbreaking RCMP update that a body matching the description of 6-year-old Lily Sullivan has been found.

As investigators confirm the tragic discovery, the nation holds its breath—because her 4-year-old brother Jack is still missing, and authorities now say time is running out.

“We Are No Longer Counting in Days—We Are Counting in Hours”

What police will tell us about the missing children

In a chilling late-night statement just 15 minutes ago, the RCMP confirmed that Lily’s death is not considered suspicious, and that no cause of death will be released. The decision has raised more questions than answers as Canadians demand transparency.

The case, which began as a missing persons report in rural Nova Scotia, has now morphed into a full-scale national crisis. Over 11 divisions of the RCMP are working around the clock alongside the National Center for Missing Persons, combing through hundreds of hours of surveillance footage and following up on over 500 public tips.

But the focus has shifted: It’s no longer just a search. It’s a race to save a life.

 A Devastating Turn: Who Is Jack Sullivan?

Jack, described by family as “a serious little boy who loved dinosaurs and bugs,” was last seen with his sister Lily the day before their disappearance. In one of the most gut-wrenching turns of this case, the body found has been confirmed to be Lily’s.

Now, millions are asking the same questionWhere is Jack?

Polygraphs, Criminal Pasts, and Shocking Claims

In a raw and emotional interview, stepfather Daniel Martell broke his silence. He revealed that RCMP investigators treated him like a suspect from the very beginning, with the first polygraph question being: “Did you kill Lily and Jack?”

“All the questions assumed they were already dead,” Martell said, holding back tears. “I passed the test. They know I’m telling the truth. But those questions—looking back now—they sound prophetic.”

He wasn’t the only one tested. Jack and Lily’s mother, Malaya Sullivan, also reportedly took a polygraph. Her results remain confidential.

 A Family Torn Apart: Secrets and Silence

Jack and Lily’s grandmother, Belinda Gray, shared her own painful truth in a televised interview that aired just hours before Lily’s body was found.

“My heart tells me these babies are gone,” she sobbed. “But I still believe Jack can be saved.”

She exposed haunting family history: Jack’s biological father, Cody Sullivan, had a criminal past and cut off contact after Malaya filed for sole custody.

“When she said she wanted full custody, he said, ‘I’m done,’ and walked away,” Belinda said. “The police showed up at 3:00 a.m. to check if the kids were here. They were desperate.”

 $150,000 Reward Offered – Authorities Declare “Critical Phase”

On June 19, Nova Scotia officials announced an unprecedented $150,000 reward for information leading to Jack’s recovery. The reward is part of the province’s Unsolved Major Crimes Program, signaling a dramatic shift: This is no longer just a missing child case—this is a criminal investigation.

“The disappearance of Jack and Lily is felt across the province and beyond,” said Attorney General Becky Drewan. “Time is running out.”

 6 Weeks of Mystery, Missteps, and Misery

This case has captivated Canada and the world. From early speculation of a drug party at the home, to questions about possible neglect, to conflicting reports of last sightings—every lead has brought more confusion.

Yet through it all, volunteers have searched tirelessly, community members have poured in tips, and social media has exploded with theories and support. Thousands have commented from across the globe, posting messages like:

“Praying for Jack from Calgary.”
“Following from Australia. Save this boy.”
“I can’t stop thinking about them—please find Jack.”

RCMP NEW UPDATE: BODY FOUND IN SULLIVAN CASE – URGENT SEARCH FOR JACK CONTINUES

In a shocking and heartbreaking development in the months-long search for missing siblings Lilly and Jack Sullivan, the RCMP has confirmed that a body—believed to be that of six-year-old Lilly Sullivan—has been discovered in a wooded area near the family’s property in Pictou County, Nova Scotia.

The remains were found late Monday afternoon during a targeted search based on new information received over the weekend. RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Claire Hennessey confirmed the grim discovery during a press conference held Tuesday morning.

“With deep regret, we can confirm that human remains matching the description of Lilly Sullivan have been located. Identification is pending confirmation through forensic analysis, but the family has been notified.”

The scene has been secured, and forensic investigators remain on site. Authorities have not released details about the condition of the remains, the precise location, or whether any evidence suggests a cause of death. The body was located within a 5-kilometer radius of the Sullivan family home on Gairloch Road, an area that had previously been searched.

The search for four-year-old Jack Sullivan is now considered critical and urgent. RCMP have deployed additional search teams, canine units, and air support to the surrounding area, treating the case as a potential abduction and homicide investigation.

“This is now a dynamic and highly sensitive phase of our investigation,” Sgt. Hennessey stated. “Our primary objective is to locate Jack safely and immediately. We are asking the public to remain alert and report anything they may see or recall from the area—no matter how small it may seem.”

RCMP officials would not confirm whether Daniel Martell, the children’s stepfather, remains a person of interest, though sources close to the investigation say he is again being questioned.

The $150,000 reward for credible information leading to Jack’s recovery remains active. Law enforcement is especially seeking dashcam or surveillance footage from areas surrounding Gairloch Road, May 1–3, 2025, as well as from the new search area, believed to be near McLellan Brook.

Local communities have responded with renewed urgency, many organizing vigils and volunteer search efforts. Mental health teams have been made available to both search personnel and affected families in the region.

Jack is described as 3’8”, shy, with short dark hair and hazel eyes. He was last seen wearing a blue T-shirt and dark sweatpants, possibly barefoot.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the RCMP tip line at 1-800-222-TIPS or report directly to the Pictou County detachment.
