UPDATE: NOW A $150,000 REWARD FOR INFORMATION REGARDING DISAPPEARANCE.
Lilly Sullivan (6) and Jack Sullivan (4) disappeared from their home on Gairloch Road in Lansdowne, Pictou County, Nova Scotia in Canada. While it is still unclear how the disappearance occurred, the children were reported missing on Friday May 2nd, 2025 at around 10am by their mother.

Siblings, Lilly and Jack live with their mother Malehya Brooks-Murray, step father Daniel Martell and younger sibling of roughly 1 years old.

It is claimed that on the morning of May 2nd, Lilly and Jack were in their property playing while Malehya and Daniel tended to their younger sibling in the bedroom. Lilly has been in and out of the bedroom and Jack could be heard playing in kitchen nearby. Shortly after, the children could no longer be heard, it is suspected that the children had went outside to play. Lilly is said to have likely been wearing a pink sweater, pink pants, and pink boots and Jack likely in blue dinosaur boots.

The home is based in a rural area surrounded by heavy woods, steep banks and bushes.

A confirmed sighting of the children was documented and they were seen in public last on Thursday May 1st, 2025 in New Glasgow.

A large search effort was immediately undertaken, and was scaled back on May 7. Several further organized search efforts have taken place in the weeks since, the latest of which being the weekend of May 31–June 1, 2025. Authorities have stated that there is no evidence that the children were abducted. #FindLillyandJack

A new reward of $150,000 has been announced for information leading to the whereabouts of missing siblings Lilly and Jack Sullivan, whose disappearance from their rural Nova Scotia home continues to haunt investigators and the public alike. As of today, the children have been missing for over two months, and despite search efforts, public appeals, and national attention, the circumstances of their vanishing remain unclear and deeply troubling.

Lilly, 6, and Jack, 4, were last seen at their home on Gairloch Road in Lansdowne, Pictou County, on the morning of Friday, May 2, 2025. Their mother, Malehya Brooks-Murray, reported them missing around 10:00 a.m., stating she believed they may have wandered outside while she and her partner, Daniel Martell, were caring for their one-year-old child in another room. What happened next remains one of the most baffling mysteries in recent Canadian memory.

Malehya and Daniel told police that Lilly had been coming in and out of the bedroom that morning while Jack played nearby in the kitchen. At some point, the children became unusually quiet. Suspecting they had gone outside, the couple searched the property but found no trace of them. The surrounding area, thick with woods, steep banks, and dense brush, is both remote and difficult to navigate — a landscape that posed serious challenges to search crews.

Authorities say there was no clear sign of forced entry, no immediate indicators of foul play, and no confirmed witnesses placing the children anywhere near a road or vehicle. However, one confirmed public sighting did occur the day before their disappearance — on Thursday, May 1, in New Glasgow, roughly 45 minutes away. That has added to growing speculation about whether the children were already being followed or targeted in the days leading up to their disappearance.

Initial response was swift. The RCMP and local emergency responders launched an intensive search operation involving drones, canine units, all-terrain vehicles, and dozens of volunteers. However, the effort was scaled back just five days later, on May 7, drawing criticism from many in the community. In the weeks since, several volunteer-led and coordinated searches have resumed, most recently over the weekend of May 31 and June 1.

Despite these continued efforts, no trace of Lilly or Jack has been found. Not a single confirmed item of clothing, no footprints, and no physical evidence have emerged. Their likely clothing at the time of disappearance has been described: Lilly was said to be wearing a pink sweater, pink pants, and pink boots. Jack was likely in blue dinosaur rain boots. Their small sizes and colorful outfits should have stood out — but in the dense underbrush of rural Nova Scotia, even bright colors can vanish into the shadows.

Authorities have stated that there is “no current evidence” suggesting the children were abducted. However, the lack of evidence pointing in any direction has only intensified public frustration. Online forums and social media platforms have exploded with theories — some speculative, some accusatory — as the vacuum of official answers deepens. The RCMP has not confirmed whether any suspects have been identified or ruled out.

The situation has sparked renewed scrutiny of how missing child cases are handled in rural communities. Many are questioning the RCMP’s decision not to issue an Amber Alert, especially given the children’s ages and the possibility they left the home without supervision. Without that alert, many locals were unaware of the disappearance in the critical early hours, reducing the likelihood of a sighting or report.

Public pressure is now mounting, and the announcement of a $150,000 reward is intended to reignite attention and encourage individuals who may have seen something — even something seemingly minor — to come forward. “We need to bring Lilly and Jack home,” said family spokesperson Helena Dunn at a vigil held in New Glasgow last week. “Someone knows something. And if money is the incentive that finally gets them to speak up, then so be it. We just want answers.”

The family, understandably devastated, has largely stepped back from the public spotlight, though they continue to support ongoing search and awareness efforts behind the scenes. Friends describe Malehya as inconsolable and consumed by grief. Daniel, who has appeared in some media interviews, has emphasized that their focus is solely on finding the children, not on assigning blame.

The RCMP continues to urge the public to remain vigilant and report anything that may be relevant. “Even the smallest detail can help,” a spokesperson said. “You may not think it matters, but it could be the key piece we need.”

That plea is echoed by many in the local community, who continue to hold out hope that the children will be found alive. Posters bearing their faces remain in shop windows, schools, and gas stations across Pictou County. Their names are whispered in prayers, printed on car decals, and spoken aloud at community gatherings. “They are still missing, still missed, and we are still looking,” reads one poster that’s gone viral across Canadian social media under the hashtag #FindLillyandJack.

The reward fund — made possible through private donations, community fundraising, and contributions from advocacy groups — has already triggered a surge in new tips, according to investigators. While the validity of those tips has yet to be confirmed, law enforcement agencies are processing them with renewed urgency.

The public is encouraged to share the children’s story and their photographs widely. Even now, someone may unknowingly hold a piece of the puzzle — an old video doorbell clip, a forgotten dashcam recording, a memory of a parked vehicle where it didn’t belong. No detail is too small.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Pictou County RCMP at 902-485-4333 or Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Tips can also be submitted anonymously online through the Crime Stoppers website.

As the days stretch into weeks, the search for Lilly and Jack has become more than a missing persons case. It’s become a rallying point — a reminder of the fragility of life, the importance of swift action, and the power of community in the face of unimaginable loss.

There are still no answers. No suspects. No conclusions. Just two missing children and a province holding its breath, waiting for news.
