Documents reveal new witness statements to RCMP about missing N.S. children

RCMP released witness accounts describing a vehicle repeatedly near the rural home hours before two children vanished, with polygraph tests showing no criminal suspicion so far.

  • On Oct. 17, 2025, the Nova Scotia RCMP released new investigative details to The Canadian Press ahead of a court hearing, confirming Lilly Sullivan, 6, and Jack Sullivan, 4, were reported missing after a 911 call by their mother Malehya Brooks-Murray on May 2.
  • Following legal challenges, police released court ITOs used to seek search warrants for phone, banking and video records, with Allison Gerrard saying, `The remaining redactions reflect ongoing concerns related to privacy and continued protection of the investigative process.`
  • Two nearby residents heard a vehicle coming and going just hours before the children disappeared, with Brad Wong saying it left and returned three or four times after midnight.
  • Search teams covered 8.5 square kilometres involving about 160 volunteers; last week, cadaver dogs found no remains and May 12 polygraph tests indicated parents were truthful under the Missing Persons Act as of July 16, 2025.
  • On June 26, Brooks‑Murray provided police a SanDisk Cruzer Glide USB with a June 21 video of Patti Pearson and Darin Geddes, who uses the name Derwood O'Grady and suggested unverified theories.
