World · Nova Scotia · ArchiveMother Breaks 15-Month Silence After Jack, 4 and Lily, 6 Vanished in Nova ScotiaAired August 11, 2026 at 6:25 PM UTCWritten September 7, 2026 at 9:22 PM UTCRead the write-upThis storyTranscript · LOADING0:00After 15 months of public silence, the0:02mother of Jack Sullivan, 4, and Lily0:04Sullivan, 6, who disappeared in Pictou0:06County on May 2nd, 2025, is speaking out0:09and saying she had stayed quiet because0:11investigators advised her not to talk0:12publicly. The timeline shows more than a0:14year passed between the day the siblings0:16went missing in Pictou County and the0:18August 10th interview in which their0:20mother explains why she is now choosing0:22to speak. Jack was 4 and Lily was 6 when0:24they disappeared. And 15 months have now0:27passed without answers or physical0:28trace. The investigation remains listed0:30as a priority, and investigators remain0:32committed to establishing what happened.0:35Yet, there are still no reasonable0:36grounds to believe something criminal in0:38nature happened. No suspects have been0:40identified publicly, and the extensive0:42search in the woods found little trace0:44of the children. For a mother waiting0:45more than a year with no physical trace,0:48the shift is from advised silence to0:50frustration that updates and0:51explanations have become less frequent.0:53While she continues to hold hope that0:55Jack and Lily are alive. This account0:57comes from a single broadcast exclusive0:59interview published August 10th, 2026,1:02which has not yet received broader1:03independent confirmation. And what1:05remains unresolved is whether a priority1:07investigation with no criminal1:08determination and little trace can still1:10answer where Jack and Lily are.1:13For more stories that matter, like and1:15subscribe.Explore with HeyDexThe shortThe short ↗
