Six-year-old Lilly and four-year-old Jack Sullivan vanished from their rural Nova Scotia home on May 2nd, 2025. Their disappearance sparked an immediate and massive search effort, involving hundreds of volunteer searchers, K9 units, helicopters, drones, and specialized RCMP units, meticulously combing miles of the dense, challenging terrain near Lansdowne Station.
Despite these efforts, there have been no confirmed sightings of the kids, and it seems like the best evidence they have is a child-sized boot print and potentially a piece of blanket belonging to one of the children.
Anyone with information can call the Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program at 1-888-710-9090. If you’d prefer to remain anonymous, you can call Crime Stoppers of Nova Scotia at 1-800-222-8477. There is a $150,000 reward for information leading to Lilly and Jack.
