Volunteers Launch Search for Missing Nova Scotia Siblings

Volunteers are actively searching for two siblings from Nova Scotia who have been missing since May. Six-year-old Lilly Sullivan and her four-year-old brother Jack Sullivan were last seen on May 2, 2025, in Lansdowne Station. Their family believes the children wandered away from their home, but despite extensive searches, no trace of them has been found.

Search Efforts Intensify in Pictou County

The search for Lilly and Jack is being spearheaded by the Ontario-based charity Please Bring Me Home, which focuses on locating missing persons and addressing cold cases. On Saturday, volunteers gathered near the Middle River in Pictou County to conduct an organized search. The charity emphasized that the current efforts will concentrate on scenarios involving wandering and misadventure.

Despite the ongoing efforts from the community and the charity, the lack of new leads remains a significant concern. In June, the Nova Scotia government announced a reward of $150,000 for information that could assist in locating the missing children. This initiative aims to encourage anyone with relevant information to come forward, highlighting the urgency of the situation.

Community Support and Ongoing Challenges

As the search continues, community members have rallied to support the Sullivan family, providing emotional and logistical assistance. Volunteers have expressed their determination to find Lilly and Jack, maintaining hope despite the challenges posed by the passage of time.

The absence of any substantial leads has prompted discussions about the need for enhanced search strategies and community awareness. Families are reminded to remain vigilant and take precautions to ensure the safety of their children, especially in rural areas where wanderings can occur.

The plight of the Sullivan siblings resonates deeply across Nova Scotia and beyond, drawing significant media attention and community involvement. As volunteers comb through the area and search for any signs of the children, the hope remains that they will soon be found safe and sound.
