If this is not a criminal investigation now, I’d be totally surprised.
It’s been almost six weeks since Lily and Jack Sullivan were first reported missing from their home in Landown Station.

On Wednesday, the RCMP in Nova Scotia said many RCMP units, including Major Crime, are involved in the investigation, along with the National Center for Missing Persons. Police say they formally interviewed 54 people in their search.

Let’s expose the truth together.

Daniel Martell told CBC he spoke with investigators from the Major Crime Unit in Stellarton earlier in the week. He said he willingly handed over his phone to police, and investigators searched the home. Martell said he also asked for a polygraph test.

“I just want to clear it up for everyone. Clear it up for everyone — not just the people online making crazy accusations and everything else.”

May 2nd, 2025. Landsdown Station.
A rural town battered by Hurricane Fiona.
Lily Sullivan, six, loved sparkly dresses and chasing bugs — her giggle lighting up the trailer.
Jack, four, her best friend, trailed her with his T-Rex toy, roaring with joy.

They vanished from their Gearlock Road home, leaving a void.
At 10:03 a.m., their mother, Maleia Brooks Murray, called 911. Voice cracked:

“My kids are gone.”

RCMP searched 5.5 km, chased 500 tips, questioned 54 people. No trace. But fresh clues —
Other adults at the trailer.
A vehicle on the road.
A small bootprint.

Tonight, we chase Daniel Martell’s role.
Did he conceal a crime?

Let’s start with Daniel’s words — his first slip.
Daniel Martell stood before RCMP, pleading innocence. But his words unravel.

“I asked for a polygraph early on. It’s not just on me, but everyone.”

That “everyone” dodges blame — a red flag.
Forensic linguists call this distancing — slipping from the spotlight.

When pressed, “Why do you need it?” he deflected:

“Their side of the family doesn’t believe me. Not just the crazies online.”

Why pivot to exes or family drama when Lily and Jack are gone?
His vague phrases — “kind of,” “maybe,” “some” — scream discomfort.

In 2007, a Texas suspect’s deflections led to a confession.
What’s Daniel hiding? His lies hint at a darker morning.

Let’s probe his polygraph claim.
Daniel claimed he took a polygraph by May 5th, 2025, saying:

“I passed. Results were in my favor.”

But RCMP won’t confirm — and he won’t share proof.

Polygraphs measure stress, heart rate, sweat — not lies.
Inadmissible in Canada.

A former examiner notes:

“Failing doesn’t prove guilt, but passing doesn’t clear you.”

He adds:

“If someone is successful in the test, then it doesn’t mean they’re eliminated. But attention may shift toward people who are not successful.”

In 1998, a BC killer passed — later caught by DNA.
RCMP only polygraph serious suspects, not volunteers like Daniel insists.

His claim — “I asked for it to shut the crazies up” — feels desperate.
Why volunteer unless you’re scared?

Misquotes in media, like reporters claiming he passed, muddy the truth.
Did the polygraph expose a crime he’s hiding?
The polygraph didn’t save Daniel — it lit him up.

Let’s analyze his behavior.
Daniel’s face betrays him.

AI tools like Eyeotions scan microexpressions.
A lip twitch when asked what happened that morning.
A glance away on “I was there.”
Vocal spikes hit when he says “I heard nothing.”

In 2018, AI caught Chris Watts’ lies with similar ticks.

Weeks of interviews — still no major break.
For Daniel, the silence inside the once-busy home is deafening.

“Going from a family of seven to just… just me. I mean, I have nothing but time to just think.”

Daniel’s 10th post:

“I’m just me now.”
Flagged for self-focus, not Lily or Jack.

His phrasing: “my own kids” distances him from Lily and Jack — as if they’re not his.
AI sees panic, not innocence.

Was Daniel hiding a moment he failed to act — or worse?

Daniel’s crumbling — but a bombshell changes everything.
Other adults.

Daniel confirmed other adults were at the trailer when Lily and Jack vanished.
He and Maleia were “drifting in and out of sleep.”
Yet, he never questioned these adults — possibly Maleia’s kin, friends, or strangers.

Why?

Innocent parents — like those of Dylan Eyer — tear into everyone, desperate for answers.
Daniel’s silence is chilling.

In 2007, a Texas case cracked when a parent’s refusal to name others led to a guilty plea.

Were these adults involved in a crime?
Did Daniel stay quiet to protect them — or himself?

His failure to accuse them raises red flags RCMP can’t ignore.

A vehicle clue deepens the mystery. Let’s chase it.

On May 22nd, 2025, neighbor Melissa Scott gave RCMP trail camera footage from Gearlock Road — covering five days before May 2nd.

Scott saw nothing odd — but RCMP wanted it, also requesting dashcam videos from April 28th to May 2nd.
They’ve collected hundreds of hours of footage, hunting a vehicle near the trailer.

Daniel never mentioned a car — only a silent sliding door.
In 2022, a BC kidnapping case cracked on a dashcam frame.

Did Daniel hear a vehicle rumble? See headlights?
Tied to those adults — and stay quiet?

Could that vehicle hold the key to a crime?

This clue fuels a shocking theory.

What if Daniel woke at dawn on May 2nd, hearing a truck on Gearlock Road?
Headlights flashed near the trailer — maybe tied to the other adults, strangers or Maleia’s kin.
Lily and Jack slipped out an unlocked door — curious or lured.

But Daniel froze — fearing blame or jail.
His lies — “everyone,” “I heard nothing” — hide that moment.

In 2010, a US father’s silence about a vehicle led to charges as an accomplice.

Did Daniel’s silence about these adults and a vehicle shield a crime that took Lily and Jack?
His selective silence screams guilt.

The trailer’s clues — and Daniel’s heart — tell more.

RCMP found the sliding door unlocked. No forced entry.
Lily’s drawing — “I love my mom” — lay torn near the couch.
Jack’s T-Rex toy — mud-caked by the door — like he dropped it running.
A small bootprint nearby — maybe Lily’s — hints at their path.

Daniel said:

“The door’s nearly silent. I didn’t hear it.”

But his heart was elsewhere.

“I haven’t seen my own kids — not even Meadow.”

Meadow, his daughter — safe with CPS — overshadows Lily and Jack.
Why prioritize her?
Guilt for failing them? Or concealing a crime?

Silence him.

Lily and Jack deserve answers. Let’s fight on.
Lily’s sparkly dreams.
Jack’s bug-chasing joy.

They’re not gone — just waiting.
Daniel’s lies.
A vehicle’s shadow.
Unnamed adults.
