The mother of two missing children in Nova Scotia’s Pictou County is pleading for their safe return.
Six-year-old Lily Sullivan and four-year-old Jack Sullivan were last seen on Gairloch Road in Lansdowne Station around 10 a.m. Friday. After 24 hours, the two have still not been found.
“We just want them home as soon as possible,” said their mother Malehya Brooks-Murray.
She told CTV News there were footprints in the driveway leading toward the road Friday. She said people “have searched every nook and cranny” and said the two should have been found by now.
“Any information is needed because at this point, we’re scared and we don’t know what to do,” said Brooks-Murray.
Police describe Lily Sullivan as having shoulder-length light brown hair with bangs. The force said she might be wearing a pink sweater, pink pants, and pink boots.
Jack Sullivan has short blondish hair and was wearing blue dinosaur boots. Police said no other clothing description is available at this time.
Multiple agencies are taking part in the search, including ground search and rescue teams, the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association, the Department of Natural Resources Air Services, and several RCMP units.
Brooks-Murray said police dogs were out once again Saturday morning, and drones and a helicopter are expected to take flight.
She said she has seen false claims online about her children being non-verbal and shy.
“They are not,” she said.
A vulnerable missing person alert was issued in Pictou County Friday morning.
Police are asking anyone with information on Lily or Jack’s whereabouts to contact Pictou County District RCMP at 902-485-4333 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
