Authorities in Lansdowne Station, Nova Scotia, are intensifying search efforts for two missing children who have not been seen for over two weeks. Six-year-old Lilly Sullivan and her four-year-old brother Jack Sullivan were reported missing on May 2, 2025, from their home located approximately 140 kilometers northeast of Halifax.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have announced that police and search-and-rescue teams will conduct both aerial and ground searches today, zeroing in on specific areas around the road where the Sullivans' residence is situated. This renewed search effort comes after initial searches that began on the day the children were reported missing were scaled back on May 7 due to concerns about the likelihood of survival in the heavily wooded terrain.

The RCMP reported that multiple searches took place, including the examination of bodies of water in the vicinity on May 8 and 9. However, these efforts yielded no evidence relating to the children's disappearance. As the investigation continues, police have received over 180 tips from the public, leading to the identification of 35 individuals who are set to be formally interviewed. This group includes family members of Lilly and Jack Sullivan.

The situation has created a sense of urgency and concern in the local community, as the days pass without any sign of the missing siblings. The RCMP's engagement with the community has been paramount, encouraging residents to come forward with any information that could assist in locating the children.

The ongoing search highlights the dedication of local law enforcement and search teams, who are committed to bringing Lilly and Jack home safely. As the search teams prepare for today's operation, hope remains that their efforts will yield positive results in the days to come.
