Lilly Sullivan, 6, and her younger brother Jack, 4, vanished without a trace from their home in rural Nova Scotia on May 2, sparking an international search that has now stretched into its fourth month.
Newly released court documents are shedding light on the investigation, revealing shocking new details about polygraph tests, eerie clues in the woods, and a mysterious car sighting that has investigators scrambling for answers.
According to filings obtained by CTV News, the children’s mother, Malehya Brooks-Murray, and stepfather, Daniel Martell, were subjected to four separate polygraph tests each. Investigators confirmed that the couple passed every single one.
“At this point, we do not have reasonable grounds to believe a criminal offense has occurred,” one investigator wrote in the documents. The children’s biological father, Cody Sullivan, also underwent a lie detector test on June 12 and passed as well. Despite these results, the children remain missing, and authorities admit they are no closer to understanding what happened that morning.
Search teams recovered several unsettling clues near the family’s home. Among the items seized were the children’s toothbrushes, a single sock, and fragments of Lilly’s pink blanket. One piece of the blanket was discovered tangled in a tree less than a mile from the house, while another was found stuffed inside a trash bag at the end of the driveway.
In nearby woods, investigators found two distinct sets of boot prints — one large, one small — but have not yet confirmed whether they belong to the children or a possible abductor.
Adding to the mystery, a witness reported seeing two children resembling Lilly and Jack walking toward a tan or gold sedan around the time they disappeared. Investigators quietly obtained highway surveillance footage from May 1 to May 3, reviewing every vehicle that left Nova Scotia during that window. So far, officials have released no information about whether this lead produced results.
The lack of answers has left the Sullivan family frustrated and desperate. “Just what did CPS do?” asked Belynda Gray, the children’s paternal grandmother, in an interview with The Globe and Mail. “What were their concerns, and what were they investigating? They might even have answers about why this happened.”
Despite parents passing polygraphs and no confirmed evidence of foul play, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police insist that no scenario has been ruled out. Forensic testing continues on all recovered items, and hundreds of tips are still being processed. “Jack and Lilly are still missing,” investigators stated. “Every piece of evidence matters. Every tip counts.”
With each passing day, the mystery deepens. Were the children abducted?
Did they wander off into the woods? Or is the truth even darker than anyone dares to imagine? Investigators are pleading with anyone who might know something — no matter how small — to come forward and contact the Northeast Nova Scotia Major Crime Unit.
