The head of the research and rescue team looking for signs of Two young children who have disappeared in rural people Nova Scotia a month ago said that the researchers had found no new proof of Sunday afternoon, which marked the second day of renewed research in dense woods near their rural home.
The search for Jack Sullivan, four, and his six-year-old sister Lilly Sullivan, who was allegedly missing from their home at Lansdowne station on May 2, resumed this weekend for two days of targeted research.
Amy Hansen, head of research and rescuers of Colchester County Ground, said that the search for this weekend was focused on the Gairloch Road area – near the place where children lived – and along a nearby “pipeline”, where a small start -up imprint was previously found.
“We continue to search for this pipeline, we try to cover more areas and hope that we will find something,” she said in an interview on Sunday.
The researchers had not discovered anything again in the middle of the afternoon, said Hansen. A RCMP spokesperson said in an email that Sunday police would provide an update in the event of a major research research.
Hansen said that the team of researchers is working hard to move through the rough and densely wooded terrain filled with thick brush and slaughtered trees from the post-topea storm, which hit the region in 2022.

“Some counties in the province, it is quite easy to enter it and do research on the grid. But unfortunately, the County of Pictou is not one of them. It is very, very hard and it is very slow.
A crew of around 75 resumed research in rain conditions on Saturday, alongside three drones and seven drone operators. Violent winds and an incoming geomagnetic storm kept drones on the ground on Sunday, said Hansen.
The initial effort of generalized research and rescue was reduced on May 7, and research this weekend marks the second time that the ground research teams were invited to return to focus on specific areas.
At the end of the first research, the RCMP said that it did not expect to find living children in the surrounding woods. But they said that research would resume if they received new information.
Hansen said there will be a discussion with the RCMP after the end of Sunday research efforts to decide whether a third research is necessary.
“I am sure they remind us at some point. But at the moment, once we have suspended this evening, it is a conversation that will have to be taken on the road between research and rights and RCMP and investigators, “she said.
The research manager said that the work of research and rescue teams, many of whom are volunteers, was exhausting.
“What the people who are here put themselves through, the stress levels and exhaustion … being in the woods that grow through all these brushes so close to each other so that they can see everything for hours … The effort that takes place is unreal,” she said.
Investigators confirmed that the RCMP major crime unit has been involved in the case since May 3, which is a routine for the missing persons. On May 13, the gendarmes said they had received more than 180 public advice. Police said the police interviewed community members and family members.
