N.S. missing kids: Volunteers to focus search on riverbanks for Lilly and Jack
Global News
The renewed search in Pictou County is being led by the Ontario-based not-for-profit group, Bring Me Home. Lilly and Jack have been missing for over six months.
Dozens of volunteers will be out searching this weekend for Lilly and Jack Sullivan in hopes they’ll find clues about the Nova Scotia siblings more than six months after their disappearance.
The renewed search in Pictou County is being led by the Ontario-based not-for-profit group, Bring Me Home.
The group’s co-founder, Nick Oldrieve, says the renewed efforts will focus on the banks along the Middle River.
“I think that if those children wound up in the Middle River of Pictou, then there’s a high possibility we locate them on Saturday,” he said.
“We’re going to do the best we can to locate these kids.”
