Overview
- A Rally for Justice outside the Stellarton RCMP detachment on Saturday drew about 50 people calling for answers.
- At a Thursday briefing, RCMP asked for verifiable tips, reported no evidence of abduction, and said the chances the children are alive are very slim.
- Investigators have interviewed 106 people, reviewed 8,132 videos, executed warrants for phones and banking records, used polygraphs, sent items to the RCMP lab, and deployed human‑remains detection dogs across roughly 40 kilometres.
- Early searches turned up little beyond children’s boot prints and pieces of a pink blanket linked to Lilly about a kilometre from the family home.
- Police warn that online rumours force checks of false leads and say they are withholding some operational details to protect the investigation.
