RCMP say no human remains found after cadaver dog search for missing Nova Scotia children

Police dogs trained to sniff out evidence of human remains found nothing in a concentrated search for two children who were reported missing by their mother more than five months ago in rural Nova Scotia.

Jack and Lilly Sullivan’s mother told police her kids had wandered away from home in the backwoods hamlet of Lansdowne on May 2. Malehya Brooks-Murray and Daniel Martell, her common-law boyfriend at the time, have said they awoke that morning to a quiet home and assumed the young siblings had put on their boots, opened the sliding back door and left the fenced-in backyard.
