After seven months of uncertainty, investigators say the case involving Lilly and Jack Sullivan has reached a critical turning point. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) revealed a series of new findings that dramatically reshape the investigation and may pave the way for criminal charges.

According to officials familiar with the probe, forensic soil analysis has identified decomposition markers at three separate locations on the property tied to the case. In addition, DNA testing confirms that both children bled inside the house, a discovery that directly contradicts earlier narratives about where and how events unfolded.

Perhaps most striking, a delivery driver has placed Daniel’s truck near a wooded area at 5:45 a.m. on May 2, a timeline that investigators say conflicts with his claim that he was home at that hour. Combined with cell phone data, suspicious purchases, and information from a confidential informant, authorities indicate the evidentiary picture has sharpened considerably.

Soil Forensics: Three Locations Raise Red Flags

Investigators say advanced soil testing detected biological decomposition markers at three distinct spots on the property. Such markers can suggest prolonged contact with decomposing biological material and are often used to narrow search areas or corroborate timelines.

Officials caution that soil markers alone do not establish cause of death, but in this case, they align with other physical and digital evidence now under review.

DNA Confirms Blood Inside the House

Forensic testing has confirmed that both Lilly and Jack bled inside the residence, a detail that investigators say is pivotal. The presence of blood inside the home contradicts accounts suggesting the children were unharmed indoors or that injuries occurred elsewhere.

Detectives are examining spatter patterns and locations to reconstruct movements inside the house during the critical window.

A Witness Timeline That Collides With Claims

A delivery driver’s statement has become a focal point. The driver reportedly observed Daniel’s truck near a wooded area at 5:45 a.m. on May 2, placing the vehicle away from the residence at a time Daniel allegedly claimed he was home.

Investigators say corroborating data—including traffic cameras and cell phone location records—are being cross-checked to validate the sighting.

Digital Evidence and Purchases Under Scrutiny

Authorities have also analyzed cell phone data that may clarify movements and communications before and after the key timeframe. In parallel, investigators are reviewing suspicious purchases that could be relevant to the case’s logistics.

While officials have not detailed the items publicly, they confirm the purchases are being assessed for timing and intent.

The Role of a Confidential Informant

A confidential informant has provided information now considered credible enough to factor into charging decisions. Investigators stress that informant tips are being corroborated independently before any action is taken.

Why Charges May Be Near

Taken together, the RCMP says the evidence now forms a coherent narrative that addresses long-standing gaps: where injuries occurred, how timelines align, and whether statements given earlier withstand scrutiny.

Legal experts note that prosecutors typically wait until multiple evidence streams converge—physical, digital, and testimonial—before approving charges in complex cases involving minors.

What Comes Next

Investigators continue to finalize reports and consult prosecutors. While no charges have been formally announced, officials indicate decisions could come soon, pending final reviews.

For the community, the developments mark the first tangible sign in months that accountability may be approaching.
