(Jesse Thomas/CTV Atlantic) One month after their disappearance, the search for six-year-old Lily and four-year-old Jack Sullivan continues this weekend. Ground search and rescue teams are expanding their efforts beyond the initial search area near the children's home in Lansdowne Station, N.S. The siblings were reported missing from their home on Gairloch Road on May 2 around 10 a.m. RCMP said the family believes Lily and Jack may have wandered off. Search manager Amy Hansen with the Colchester Ground Search and Rescue team said volunteer crews are focusing on a wider area, including a near nearby pipeline corridor and an area near Lake Lansdowne.

(Jesse Thomas/CTV Atlantic) 'There's not really any updates,' said Hansen. 'We came back in to cover off some more areas that we deemed were crucial to search.' Although there's no new evidence, search and rescue teams discovered a boot print in the area during a previous weekend. Volunteers want to follow up with a deeper search in that area. 'We don't know for sure it (the boot print) was from the children,' said Hansen. 'But it's the only real thing we've had to go on thus far and so we're just investigating that further.' Approximately 75 volunteers from different search and rescue teams are participating on Saturday along with three drones, said Hansen. She said there are no helicopter or canine units assisting this time. RCMP and hundreds of volunteers executed a large-scale coordinated search that spanned 5.5 square kilometres around the children's home following their disappearance a month ago. Efforts were scaled back on May 7th after the extensive search, which included aircraft, drones, search dogs, a dive team and hundreds of rescue personnel. Additional searches were conducted on May 8th and 9th and again on May 17th and 18th. missing children A missing children flyer for Lilly and Jack Sullivan is pictured attached to a telephone pole. (Jesse Thomas/CTV Atlantic) Hansen confirmed volunteers will be back Sunday but said the extensive search through dense forest is exhausting and their numbers are dropping. 'These people have been out weekend after weekend,' said Hansen. 'But we are starting to see some people who physically and emotionally can't return to the search. At this point, it's very taxing on the members.' RCMP said the investigation remains open and anyone with information is encouraged to contact them. search and rescue Search and Rescue personnel are pictured during the search for Lilly and Jack Sullivan in Pictou County, N.S., on May 31, 2025.

With few leads, search for missing N.S. kids focuses on area where boot print found
Social Sharing Searchers looking for two missing kids in Pictou County on Saturday scoured the area where a boot print was found in a previous search. But searchers concede they have little to go on and have no way of knowing if the boot print is even related to Lilly Sullivan, 6, and Jack Sullivan, 4. They were reported missing May 2. "We don't know for sure it was from the children, but it's the only real thing we've had to go on thus far," said Amy Hansen of Colchester Ground Search and Rescue, who is managing the search this weekend. Approximately 75 volunteers resumed the search on Saturday. Lilly and Jack Sullivan went missing from their home in Lansdowne Station, N.S., just over four weeks ago. The rural area is about 140 kilometres northeast of Halifax. Hansen said there has been no new evidence since the search was suspended two weeks ago on May 17, but crews have returned this weekend to cover particular areas of interest. She said the search is focused on Landsdowne Lake and a nearby pipeline trail, where the boot print was located. Hansen said the woods are full of brush and debris that have made it difficult for the searchers. Thus far, crews have done a grid search of about six square kilometres. Hansen expects them to search an additional one or two square kilometres this weekend. Three drones are helping with the search, but poor weather conditions mean that helicopters haven't been able to assist. In addition to the Colchester team, ground search and rescue teams from Pictou, Strait, East Hants, Springhill, Pugwash and Halifax are also helping out today. "We're actually starting to see people that just physically and emotionally can't return to the search at this point," said Hansen. "It's very taxing on the members." On Friday, Daniel Martell, the children's stepfather, told CBC News the last month has been painful for his family. "Every day when I wake up, it feels like I'm reliving a nightmare," he said. "The main feelings of sadness just turn to anger because there's no evidence after one month." The search for the children will continue until Sunday evening, barring any developments, said Hansen.
