A desperate search for two children missing in a rural part of Canada’s Nova Scotia province has stretched into its fourth day, with dozens of rescuers combing the dense woods in search of the siblings. Six-year-old Lily Sullivan and her brother Jack, 4, were last seen Friday morning at their home in Pictou County, about 70 miles from the province’s capital city of Halifax, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Police said on Saturday they believe the pair wandered away from their home. In the days since, more than one hundred searchers as well as helicopters, drones and dogs have been scouring the heavily wooded area near their home for any clues about the siblings’ whereabouts. “It has been a few days, but that has not dampened the hopes of the (search) teams and the police who are here trying to get these kids home,” Corporal Carlie McCann, a spokesperson for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) told reporters Monday, according to CNN affiliate CBC News. The search continued overnight Monday despite challenging rainy conditions. Police said searchers spotted a footprint on Saturday and have expanded their search effort in that area, CBC reported. The children’s mother, Malehya Brooks-Murray, told CNN affiliate CTV News that she woke up Friday morning and heard the kids playing in the next room before drifting back to sleep. When she woke up and noticed they were gone, she immediately called 911.
