🚨 BREAKING: FOUND ALIVE JUST 10KM FROM HOME? 🚨

Disturbing new CCTV footage has exploded across the internet — showing two small figures that look exactly like Lilly (6) and Jack (4) Sullivan walking hand-in-hand along a quiet rural road… alive, moving, not alone.

A boy in blue. A girl in pink. An unidentified woman right beside them. Just 10 kilometers from the isolated trailer where they vanished nine months ago without a trace.

Full details:

A purported CCTV clip circulating online has reignited desperate hope — and unleashed a wave of chilling speculation — in the unsolved disappearance of 6-year-old Lilly Sullivan and her 4-year-old brother Jack, who vanished from their rural Pictou County home on May 2, 2025.

Social media posts describe the grainy footage as showing two small children — a boy in blue clothing and a girl in pink — walking along a quiet secondary road approximately 10 kilometers from the family’s Gairloch Road property. An unidentified adult woman is reportedly visible walking beside them. The images, shared widely on platforms like Facebook and accompanied by sensational headlines such as “Found alive just 10km from home?”, have amassed thousands of views and shares in recent days.

As of February 12, 2026, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has not publicly confirmed or denied the footage’s legitimacy, location, date, or relevance to the case. No official statement has addressed whether investigators are examining the clip as part of the ongoing probe under Nova Scotia’s Missing Persons Act. Sources close to the investigation told media outlets that police are aware of the viral material and are assessing its credibility amid a flood of more than 1,079 public tips received to date.

The Sullivan siblings were reported missing at 10:01 a.m. on May 2, 2025, when their mother, Malehya Brooks-Murray, called 911 to say the children could not be found after apparently wandering from the family trailer in the sparsely populated Lansdowne Station area, about 140 kilometers northeast of Halifax. Brooks-Murray and her common-law partner, Daniel Martell, told police the kids had been put to bed the previous night (May 1) around 9–10 p.m., with conflicting details emerging later about exact times and Martell’s activities.

Surveillance from a Dollarama store in nearby New Glasgow confirmed the entire family — including Lilly, Jack, their baby sister, Brooks-Murray, and Martell — together and alive on the afternoon of May 1 at 2:25 p.m. That remains the last undisputed public sighting.

An unprecedented search followed: over 1,700 personnel contributed more than 12,000 search hours across 8.5 square kilometers of thick woods, using drones, helicopters, cadaver dogs, and ground teams. Key evidence included a pink blanket believed to belong to Lilly found hanging in a tree about 1 kilometer from home, and child-sized boot prints matching Lilly’s rainbow rubber boots on a nearby trail. No further clothing, toys, remains, or definitive signs of the children have been recovered.

The investigation has uncovered household complexities. Newly unsealed court documents from January 2026 revealed Brooks-Murray previously accused Martell of physical abuse in their relationship. On January 29, 2026, Martell, 34, was arrested and charged with assault, sexual assault, and forcible confinement involving an unrelated adult victim. Police stressed the charges are separate from the children’s disappearance; Martell was released on conditions and is due in court March 2, 2026.

RCMP has reviewed over 8,100 video files, conducted 75 interviews, administered polygraph examinations, and assigned multi-provincial units to the file. Staff Sgt. Rob McCamon, officer in charge of major crime and behavioral sciences for Nova Scotia, emphasized in early February 2026 interviews that the case “is not going to be a cold case” and expressed confidence in the thorough work completed.

Neighbor reports have added layers of intrigue. Court documents detailed accounts of a “loud vehicle” heard coming and going multiple times after midnight into the early hours of May 2, including one resident hearing activity around 1:30 a.m. near railroad tracks close to where the blanket and boot prints were later found. RCMP reviewed area surveillance and stated no evidence substantiated a vehicle as a key element, though recent indications suggest timelines remain under scrutiny.

The viral CCTV claims — describing children “unmistakably” matching Lilly and Jack’s descriptions — have not been corroborated by official sources. Similar unverified “sightings” and footage have surfaced periodically in high-profile missing-persons cases, often proving to be misidentifications, hoaxes, or unrelated individuals. Experts caution that without metadata, timestamp verification, or RCMP authentication, such clips can fuel false hope or mislead investigations.

Brooks-Murray has remained largely private but, through friends and family statements shared with CBC News in early February 2026, described coping “day by day” and clinging to hope. Her mother, Cyndy Murray (the children’s grandmother), has spoken publicly of the ongoing “torture” of uncertainty, pleading for any information that could bring closure.

The Province of Nova Scotia maintains a $150,000 reward for information of “investigative value” leading to resolution. Authorities continue to urge tips via the dedicated line, emphasizing even minor details could prove crucial.

If the circulating footage proves genuine and recent, it would represent the first potential post-disappearance sighting and dramatically shift the narrative from presumed tragedy to possible abduction or concealment. If debunked, it underscores the emotional toll of misinformation in long-term missing-children cases.

For now, nine months after Lilly and Jack vanished into the quiet Nova Scotia woods, the case remains active and unsolved. The purported CCTV clip has thrust it back into the spotlight, blending fragile hope with darker questions: Are the children still alive? Who might know more? And when — if ever — will definitive answers emerge from the shadows of Gairloch Road?

RCMP urges anyone with information, including about the viral video, to contact investigators immediately. Until verified leads surface, Lilly and Jack Sullivan’s fate hangs in limbo — a heartbreaking mystery that refuses to fade.
