A desperate search for two children missing in a rural part of Canadaâs
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
provinceâs 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 siblingsâ whereabouts.
âIt 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,â 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 childrenâs 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.
Brooks-Murray told CTV Jack and Lily are not the type of kids to go
outside alone.
âWe always make sure that weâre out there with them, watching them, and
they happen to just get out that sliding door, and we canât hear it when
it opens, and they were outside playing, but we werenât aware of it at
the time, and the next thing we knew it was quiet,â Brooks-Murray told
CTV.
The children are members of the Sipekneâkatik First Nation, according to
chief Michelle Glasgow.
âPlease help bring Lily and Jack back home,â Glasgow said on social
media.
Daniel Martell, the childrenâs stepfather, told CBC Lily and Jack are
âawesome kids.â
âJack just absolutely loves bugs, dinosaurs,â Martell said. âLily loves
girly things but she also loves doing everything with Jack.â
âTheyâre like best friends, not just brother and sister,â he added.
Martell said he is pushing for police to monitor the borders and the
airports to search for the children. The RCMP are not currently treating
the case as a possible kidnapping, according to the CBC.
The RCMP said search and rescue volunteers and officers have
âmeticulously searchedâ the area around Jack and Lilyâs home and asked
the public to avoid the search area in a post to social media Monday.
âSearchers are diligently keeping track of which specific sections of
the ground have been covered and are applying their specialized skills
to allow the searchers on scene to stay safe,â the RCMP said.
Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said people âacross Nova Scotia are
praying for a positive outcomeâ for Jack and Lily in a post to social
media Saturday.
