Lilly & Jack Sullivan’s step-dad passed polygraph… but where is their mother??? 
So, Daniel says he passed a polygraph.

Let’s discuss. Good morning, everyone. . It is Friday morning, the 30th of May. It’s just about to rain torrentially here, I believe. Look at those clouds.

Continuing the case of missing six-year-old Lily and four-year-old Jack Sullivan, siblings from Lansdown Station, Nova Scotia in Canada — they were reported missing on May the 2nd.

The RCMP have given an update saying that they want dash cam footage from noon on April 28th all the way up to the time after they were reported missing, noon on May the 2nd.

They said originally that there was no evidence of an abduction, but as I talked about in my video yesterday, wanting dash cam footage from April 28th — when RCMP has said that the children were alive and well with family members, presumably seen on surveillance on the afternoon of Thursday, May the 1st.

So the only thing I can think is that they are tracking people’s movements, looking at all the vehicles that passed by, tracing the vehicles. It’s a logging road, so they’re likely interviewing people who are working around there, and also possibly looking at the movements of the family to and fro — you know, who was around.

But they should have appealed for all of this earlier, because, you know, there might be dash cam footage that has been lost in the four weeks since Jack and Lily were reported missing. And it is four weeks. It’s four weeks today. Can you believe it?

All right. Well, Global News has interviewed Daniel Martell, the children’s stepdad. He says he’s passed a polygraph. So, let’s go through this news piece. It’s only two and a half minutes. We’ll go through the details, shall we?

Just over a week ago, the road behind me was still swarming with search and rescue personnel as RCMP resumed their ground search for six-year-old Lily and four-year-old Jack Sullivan, who first went missing three weeks ago in Lansdown Station.

Now, this has been a story that has dominated headlines across the country and beyond, as people speculate and wonder about what could have happened to these two missing children.

Now, just because the road is deserted doesn’t mean RCMP are finished with their investigation. In fact, they just put out a statement Wednesday calling on the public for more footage.

Investigators are now asking anyone who has dash cam footage or video along Garlic Road between noon on April 28th and noon on May 2nd to contact Northeast Nova RCMP Major Crime Unit. They add RCMP are committed to exploring all possibilities in the case and have formally interviewed more than 50 people, with more interviews planned in the coming days.

So, I’ve seen comments on social media saying they can’t believe that there’s an abduction if they’re planning on more interviews in the coming days. And I don’t necessarily believe that’s true, because they could be planning to interview drivers of vehicles that they’ve traced, if more dash cam footage comes in.

So, 50 interviews is a lot. I think they are putting the work in behind the scenes. And again, I think they’ve been slow. I think they’ve been slow on the uptake.

A neighbor who lives three miles away — someone called Melissa Scott — was contacted by RCMP on May 20th asking for trail cam footage. She has a 40-acre property. They’ve gone out a fair ways looking for what? Well, I assume suspicious activity.

The RCMP are trying. I think they just put all their eggs in one basket very early and are now catching up on all of the other possibilities that there might have been. Maybe they got surveillance video from close to the home much sooner, but again, I wish they’d put out that call for dash cam footage much sooner as well.

The children’s stepfather, Daniel Martell, says he has been interviewed extensively since Lily and Jack were first reported missing.

“You mentioned last time we chatted that you’d offered to do a polygraph test.”
“That is correct.”
“Has that already happened?”
“That has happened, right?”
“And did you get results from that yet?”
“I do have results, and I don’t know if I can share those results. But they were good — in my favor. We’ll say that.”
“Okay.”
“They were good in my favor. I’ll say that.”

So, he passed. I don’t know why RCMP wouldn’t want him to share the results, but he passed.

There’s a reason why polygraph tests are not admissible in court. They’re not admissible in court for a reason. They’re a tool — an investigative tool.

But apparently, it was Daniel himself who requested a polygraph. So if he passed, you’d think he’d be shouting it from the rooftops — but maybe he’s learned a lesson and isn’t doing as much media these days.

Let’s just look at the accuracy of polygraph tests real quick. This is from AI, but I do know that this is accurate information.

Polygraph tests are estimated to be 80 to 90% accurate in detecting deception. People who are strong advocates for polygraphs say that they’re in excess of 90% accuracy. But there are a lot of factors that determine how accurate polygraphs are — both in terms of the polygrapher (the person actually doing the test), and also the subject.

There are things that people can do to fool a polygraph. Does Daniel know all about polygraphs and was he able to fool it? I mean, maybe.

Look, if you believe that someone’s innocent and they pass a polygraph, you go:
“See? They passed a polygraph — they must be innocent.”

And then if they pass a polygraph but you believe they’re guilty, then you say:
“Well, they’re not accurate anyway, and it doesn’t matter.”

So yeah — Don and Candace Wells passed a polygraph in the Summer Wells case. A lot of people think they’re guilty. And I think the parents have something to do with it in Summer’s case. I do. I don’t necessarily think they murdered her or anything like that, but I do think they know a lot more than what they’ve said.

That’s just my current view on the Summer case. But I’ve gone backwards and forwards and all the ways around in Summer’s case over the last four years.

Chris and Katie Profoot and Seth Rogers apparently passed polygraphs in the Sebastian Rogers case. Personally, I don’t believe that any of the parents in that case had anything directly to do with Sebastian’s disappearance.

But the Michael Vaughn case — we know he was abducted from Fruitland, Idaho in July of 2021. So, coming up for four years for Michael as well. His dad failed a polygraph. And we know absolutely that Tyler Vaughn had nothing to do with Michael’s disappearance. Cops know that Michael was abducted, most likely by four suspects who they’ve named publicly.

But Tyler Vaughn failed the polygraph. I think probably because he felt so guilty because Michael got out of the house while he was in charge — and he was changing the baby’s diaper in another room and Michael just slipped out. And in the few minutes that Michael was gone, neighbors saw him. One neighbor took Michael back to his house — unfortunately didn’t knock on the door to make Tyler aware that Michael was outside.

So, it was just one of those fluke occurrences — that Michael just happened to be outside while monsters were prowling the neighborhood. So, it does happen. It is, thankfully, rare. But it does happen. You’re in the wrong place at the wrong time — quite literally.

So, could Jack and Lily have been in the wrong place at the wrong time? Yeah. Is it likely in a really rural area? No. But Michael Vaughn lived in a very quiet neighborhood. You wouldn’t think that if Michael just went to play on his street that he’d get abducted and never be seen again. But it happened. It absolutely happened.

Anyway — back to this.

This accuracy can vary depending on various factors. While they are more accurate than chance, they are not foolproof and not always considered reliable by legal and scientific communities.

Factors influencing accuracy:

The expertise of the examiner: A well-trained examiner can better interpret physiological responses.

Question phrasing: Clear and unbiased questions are crucial — and also asking the right questions in the first place.

Subject state: Anxiety, fatigue, or medical conditions can affect results.

Countermeasures: Some individuals can use techniques to try and beat the polygraph.

Emotional state: Anxiety and other emotions can influence results, making it difficult to discern if a person is lying or simply experiencing normal stress.

Why polygraph tests are not always considered reliable:

False positives and negatives: They can incorrectly indicate deception or fail to detect it.

Not admissible in court.

Focus on deception rather than truth.

Psychological impact: Being subjected to a polygraph can be stressful. People may feel pressured to confess.

I mean, look — that’s the idea behind polygraphs. It’s not to know absolutely whether someone’s telling the truth or not. It’s used as an investigative tool. If you fail a polygraph, then they’re going to go really hard on you in interrogation.

And Daniel has been extensively interviewed.

Martell says he is glad the police have
