The RCMP is now asking for the public’s help in gathering additional video footage related to the disappearance of Lily and Jack Sullivan. They were reported missing on May 2nd, 2025, and today is May 28th, 2025 — 26 days later, and still no evidence, no clues, no answers… or at least, nothing has been released to the public yet.

Here’s what the RCMP officially stated:

“Based on details we’ve gathered so far, we’ve confirmed that Lily and Jack were observed in public with family members on the afternoon of May 1st, 2025.
We are now asking anyone who has dash cam or video footage along Gairloch Road between April 28th at 12:00 p.m. and May 2nd at 12:00 p.m. to please contact the RCMP.”

They emphasized that officers from various teams remain fully engaged in finding out what happened to Lily and Jack and are using all tools and resources available to determine the circumstances surrounding their disappearance.

“We understand the public’s desire for answers and updates. However, this is an active investigation. We’re unable to discuss details of our ongoing work.”

Personally, I truly hope that the RCMP knows more than they’re letting on — and that they just can’t show their cards yet because it could compromise the investigation. That would be the best-case scenario.

Because honestly, it’s hard to believe that a six-year-old and a four-year-old can just vanish without a trace. Hopefully, it’s just that — a lack of information being shared — and not a total mystery. Maybe investigators know far more than we do and are quietly working to solve it behind the scenes.

One thing that continues to baffle me is the idea of Jack, a four-year-old wearing just a pull-up diaper and boots, going out into the woods and not turning around the moment things got uncomfortable. He’s not dressed for that terrain. The scrapes, the cold, the discomfort — as a young child, most would want to turn back. That’s what makes the “they wandered off” theory difficult for me to believe.

We’re all hoping that answers come soon, and somehow, some way, by some miracle, Lily and Jack are found safe and returned to their loved ones. It’s heartbreaking and unthinkable. So many people are invested in this because we all imagine — what if this happened to our own children, our nieces, our nephews, our grandkids?
