RCMP in Nova Scotia are looking for more video footage of two young children who vanished nearly four weeks ago, and are now confirming the siblings were seen in public with family members the day before being reported missing.
In a Wednesday update, RCMP said they’ve confirmed the two were “observed in public with family members on the afternoon of May 1” based on details they’ve gathered. They later clarified that confirmation was made by both video evidence and eyewitness accounts.

Four-year-old Jack Sullivan, left, and six-year-old Lilly Sullivan, right, missing from their home in rural northeastern Nova Scotia, were last seen Friday, May 2, 2025, in the community of Lansdowne Station. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Nova Scotia Ground Search and Rescue Association.
Police also said investigators have collected hours of video from the areas surrounding Lansdowne Station.
“We’re now asking anyone who has dashcam footage or video along Gairloch Rd. between 12 p.m. on April 28 and 12 p.m. on May 2 to contact us,” said Cpl. Sandy Matharu, Northeast Nova RCMP Major Crime Unit, in a news release.
RCMP said investigators have received — and are following up on — more than 355 tips. They’ve also interviewed in excess of 50 people and have more interviews planned “in the coming days.”
“RCMP officers from various teams are fully engaged in finding out what happened to Lilly and Jack, and we’re using all tools and resources to determine the circumstances of their disappearance,” said Cpl. Matharu in the release.
“We understand people’s desire for answers and updates. However, as this is an active investigation, we’re unable to discuss details of our ongoing work.”
Stepfather says he’s taken polygraph test
The disappearance has sparked rampant speculation on social media — much of it targeting the children’s mother and stepfather, Daniel Martell.
In an interview Wednesday, Martell reiterated he offered to take a polygraph test, which he said has now taken place.
“I do have results and I don’t know if I can share those results, but they were good in my favour. I’ll say that,” he said.
He said he is glad police are seeking additional footage and is urging the public to step up and help find the children.
Despite not having had contact with the children’s mother, Maleya Brooks-Murray, since May 3 when she left the search area, Martell said an RCMP liaison has been assigned to keep them both informed as the investigation progresses.
“Trust the RCMP word and, I mean, you don’t have to trust my word, but I’m the only one doing media for Jack and Lilly — trying to keep this story alive and get them found,” he said.
‘We understand people’s desire for answers’
The children’s disappearance launched a multi-day search that involved upwards of 160 people, including volunteers and agencies from around the province.
The search involved large-scale ground and air operations, as well as the use of an underwater recovery team.
The area around the children’s home is heavily wooded, with terrain made difficult by Hurricane Fiona damage.
RCMP announced on May 7 they were scaling back their efforts, saying there was little chance they were alive.

However, additional searches took place on May 8, 9, 17 and 18.
“Any future searches will be determined based on the course of the investigation,” RCMP said Wednesday.
RCMP have maintained there is no evidence Lilly and Jack were abducted. It’s a comment that criminal expert Jim Hoskins told Global News this week was an interesting detail in the case.
“They gave a clue and they said no abduction. That’s a big statement to make at this early in the game,” said Hoskins, a retired Halifax Regional Police officer and former Major Crimes staff sergeant, who is not working on the Sullivan case.

22 Years Ago, Sean Hannity Found Two Abandoned Twin Girls—What They Did Decades Later Brought Him to Tears on Live TV
It was just another rainy night, the kind that blurred streetlights and turned sidewalks slick. It was a night meant to pass unnoticed, fading quietly into memory—but instead, it became unforgettable. Sean Hannity, then an unknown local broadcaster striving to make his name, had just finished hosting a modest show at a small community theater in a quiet town on the outskirts of New York City. Tired and reflective after a long day’s work, he decided on a solitary walk to clear his head before heading home. Rain fell steadily, coating streets in shimmering reflections and softening the sounds of distant traffic. He ducked under the awning of a closed convenience store, intending just to wait out the worst of the downpour. But fate, it seemed, had guided him there for a very different reason. As Hannity leaned against the cold brick wall, a small, muffled noise caught his attention. He glanced around, scanning the darkness cautiously. Then he heard it again—a tiny, pitiful whimper, barely audible over the patter of rain. Cautiously stepping forward, he peered around the corner of the building, where shadows deepened beside a dumpster. His heart tightened painfully in his chest. There, pressed against the unforgiving metal and hidden within piles of damp cardboard, were two impossibly small figures: twin girls, no older than two, soaked to the skin, shivering violently, their tiny hands clutching desperately to one another. Their wide eyes, filled with silent fear and confusion, pierced through the rain-soaked gloom, locking onto his with an intensity that broke something deep within him. “My God,” he whispered, frozen for an instant in disbelief and heartbreak. “Who could possibly leave them here?” Without thinking, Hannity quickly removed his coat, kneeling gently beside them. The girls flinched at his approach, wary eyes widening further. He moved slowly, carefully, speaking in the softest voice he could muster. “Hey there,” he said gently, trying to smile reassuringly. “It’s okay now. You’re safe. You’re not alone.” The girls studied him hesitantly. Their tiny bodies shook uncontrollably, their small hands clinging to each other tightly. Carefully, Sean wrapped them both securely in his warm coat, holding them close enough to share his own warmth. As he shielded them from the merciless rain, he pulled out his phone, urgently dialing emergency services. “Please hurry,” he said softly but firmly into the receiver. “They’re just babies. Please hurry.” Within minutes, the area flooded with flashing lights—ambulances, police cruisers, child protective officers. The alleyway became a flurry of urgent activity and solemn conversations. Hannity stayed with the twins, never stepping away, his reassuring voice never faltering. That night, the twins were rushed to a hospital, where they were treated for exposure, dehydration, and malnutrition. Investigators confirmed what Sean already feared: the girls had been deliberately abandoned, discarded cruelly without identification or explanation. Authorities desperately searched for any leads about family or relatives, but none came. No one stepped forward to claim them. It was as if these innocent souls had simply been forgotten by the world. But not by Sean Hannity. Though circumstances prevented him from legally adopting the twins, Sean refused to step away. Instead, he quietly vowed to be their silent guardian—an unseen, steadfast presence watching over them. He arranged private support, ensured financial stability, and maintained contact with the caring foster family that took them in. Quietly, without fanfare or publicity, he sent birthday presents, clothing, and cards, always mindful to keep their spirits hopeful and strong. Each year, on the very spot he had found them, Sean anonymously placed a bouquet of white lilies—a silent promise to never forget that pivotal night. No cameras captured these moments, no newspapers ran stories about this quiet heroism. It was, for Sean, a deeply personal promise to himself and to those two innocent children. It was his secret, borne not from obligation but from a profound human compassion, the kind that alters lives without ever seeking applause. Years passed quietly, each bringing the twins closer to adulthood, each marking them with grace and strength forged from resilience. They grew up surrounded by love, fostered by kindness, but always aware of the anonymous guardian who had rescued them from darkness. But even Sean Hannity, accustomed to public attention and scrutiny, could never have anticipated what would happen 22 years later. An Unforgettable Reunion Live on Air…
