Search for missing Nova Scotia kids continues as stepfather seeks expanded effort
Global News
Lily and Jack Sullivan, aged six and four, were reported missing on May 2 at around 10 a.m. from their home in Lansdowne Station, which is about 30 km from New Glasgow, N.S.
The massive search for two missing children continues for a fifth day in a rural area of Nova Scotia’s Pictou County.
Lily and Jack Sullivan, aged six and four, were reported missing on May 2 at around 10 a.m. from their home on Gairloch Road in Lansdowne Station, which is about 30 kilometres from New Glasgow, N.S.
Since then, upwards of 160 people have been scouring the wooded area on land with search dogs and in the air with helicopters and drones.
In an interview yesterday, the children’s stepfather, Daniel Martell, said he was calling for the search area to be expanded to include provincial borders and airports in case the children were abducted.
“Post any officers they can get, at the New Brunswick border and P.E.I. … and get them out at every airport possible,” he said.
“Anybody who has any information, or you think you seen something, contact your local police services. Anything guys, anything.”
RCMP said there is no evidence to suggest the kids were abducted, and instead believe they “wandered” away. Due to this fact, their disappearance didn’t qualify for an Amber Alert, however a Vulnerable Missing Person Alert was sent out on May 2.
Lily is described as having having shoulder-length, light brown hair with bangs. She might be wearing a pink sweater, pink pants and pink boots. Martell told Global News she was also carrying a white backpack with strawberries on it.
