The Nova Scotia RCMP’s intensive investigation into the disappearance of Lilly and Jack Sullivan continues.

The investigative team in the Northeast Nova RCMP Major Crime Unit is leading the investigational efforts under the Missing Persons Act. They’re assisted by RCMP units in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Ontario, along with the National Centre of Missing Persons, Canadian Centre for Child Protection, and provincial and municipal police agencies from Nova Scotia and other parts of Canada.

Their efforts include:
• Reviewing approximately 5,000 video files that have been obtained through a video canvass of Lansdowne Station and the surrounding areas
• Assessing more than 600 tips from the public
• Formally interviewing more than 60 people, including the administration of polygraph to some individuals
• Forensic examination of materials located through ground and air searches in Lansdowne Station, including a pink blanket that officers seized on Lansdowne Rd.
• Submitting judicial authorizations to seize and examine materials and devices that may provide information useful to the investigation

“Right now, there are more than 800 tasks associated to this investigation,” says S/Sgt. Rob McCamon, Officer in Charge (acting), Major Crime and Behavioural Sciences. “A tremendous amount of careful, deliberate investigative work is underway by people here at home and in other parts of Canada; our collective efforts will continue every day until we determine with certainty the circumstances surrounding Lilly and Jack’s disappearance.”

As the community holds its breath, hoping for the safe return of Lilly and Jack Sullivan, the Nova Scotia RCMP continues an intensive and far-reaching investigation into their disappearance. Led by the Northeast Nova RCMP Major Crime Unit, the case is being pursued under the Missing Persons Act with a level of coordination rarely seen in similar investigations. It’s a testament to just how seriously authorities are treating the case—and how committed they are to finding answers.

This is not a localized effort. RCMP units across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Ontario are contributing their expertise, along with national organizations such as the National Centre for Missing Persons and Unidentified Remains and the Canadian Centre for Child Protection. Provincial and municipal police agencies from across Canada have also joined the effort. It is a massive, multi-agency undertaking driven by a shared goal: bringing Lilly and Jack home.

According to RCMP officials, the scope of the investigation is extensive. Investigators have gathered and are currently reviewing approximately 5,000 video files obtained through a video canvass of Lansdowne Station and surrounding areas. Every frame could hold a clue. Every second of footage is being carefully examined for even the smallest piece of information that could break the case open.

Public involvement has been equally critical. More than 600 tips have been received from concerned citizens, demonstrating the widespread concern and collective desire to assist. Every tip, no matter how small, is being reviewed and assessed for relevance to the investigation.

In terms of interviews, more than 60 individuals have been formally spoken to by investigators. In some cases, polygraph examinations have been administered, a sign that the RCMP is leaving no stone unturned in verifying facts and narrowing the timeline. Investigators are working methodically to piece together a clear picture of what may have happened in the days and moments before the children went missing.

On the ground, forensic examination has been ongoing. Materials recovered during extensive ground and air searches in and around Lansdowne Station are being analyzed. One item in particular—a pink blanket found on Lansdowne Road—has drawn public attention and is being closely examined for any forensic evidence that may be relevant to the case.

In addition to physical evidence, investigators have obtained judicial authorizations to seize and analyze digital devices and other materials that may hold vital information. The modern nature of this investigation means combing through texts, emails, location data, and more—all of which could prove crucial in understanding what happened to Jack and Lilly.

As of now, the case has generated over 800 individual investigative tasks. Each task represents an action taken by police—be it following up on a tip, processing forensic evidence, analyzing surveillance footage, or conducting interviews. This is not just a list; it is a reflection of the sheer volume of coordinated work being carried out day and night by law enforcement teams.

“Right now, there are more than 800 tasks associated to this investigation,” says Staff Sergeant Rob McCamon, Officer in Charge (Acting), Major Crime and Behavioural Sciences. “A tremendous amount of careful, deliberate investigative work is underway by people here at home and in other parts of Canada; our collective efforts will continue every day until we determine with certainty the circumstances surrounding Lilly and Jack’s disappearance.”

His statement is a reminder to the public that while visible updates may seem few and far between, the work behind the scenes is constant, methodical, and deeply focused. Investigations of this complexity take time, and the families involved need more than speculation—they need truth.

For the public, this means continuing to stay engaged. Tips, observations, and shared memories—however minor they may seem—can still make a difference. Authorities encourage anyone with new information, however seemingly insignificant, to come forward. It only takes one detail to change the direction of an investigation.

As the days stretch on, the heartbreak deepens. But so too does the commitment to finding the truth. Every investigative milestone, every piece of evidence processed, brings the authorities one step closer to uncovering what happened to Lilly and Jack Sullivan. The public’s support remains vital—not just in aiding the investigation, but in showing the family that they are not alone in their pain.

This case has become more than a missing persons report. It is a call to action, a test of community resolve, and a measure of how far people will go to bring two innocent children home. The RCMP’s ongoing efforts, paired with a determined and watchful public, offer one enduring message: We will not give up.

If you have information that may help investigators, contact the RCMP or Crime Stoppers. Even the smallest lead could be the key to bringing Lilly and Jack home.
