TL;DR: Key points with love ❤️

One month after six-year-old Lilly and four-year-old Jack Sullivan went missing from their home in Lansdowne Station, Nova Scotia, the search continues with no answers. A candlelight vigil is planned in Stellarton. The RCMP initially believed the children wandered away and did not issue an Amber Alert, later scaling back the full search due to low survival chances. Renewed targeted searches have occurred, and police are seeking dashcam footage. The children's stepfather, Daniel Martell, has been active in the media and took a polygraph test, while their mother, Malehya Brooks-Murray, has been advised by RCMP not to speak to media.
