USPA NEWS - Around 10AM Friday, May 2nd, 2025, 6 year-old Lily and 4 year-old Jack Sullivan were reported missing to Police by their mother who alleged the siblings walk off their rural property in the Lansdowne Station area of Nova Scotia. A week has now passed, and the children have still not been found. Please share out this information so they can be brought home.

Police are asking anyone with information on Lily or Jack’s whereabouts to call Pictou County District RCMP at 902-485-4333 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Over 160 searchers, aided by drones and canine units, have tirelessly combed the thick forests of Pictou County. Despite these extensive efforts, the only potential clue,a small footprint which has not been confirmed to belong to either child, and no other trace of them has been found. This isn’t for lack of commitment. Still, the large-scale search has now been scaled back. The focus has shifted to a more targeted effort, driven by the ongoing investigation and any tips that come in from the public.

Lily is described as having shoulder-length light brown hair with bangs. She could be wearing a pink sweater, pink pants and pink boots. Jack is described as having short blondish hair. Police said he is wearing blue dinosaur boots.
