The RCMP will soon provide an update on the search for two children who believe they moved away from their home in the northeast of Nueva Scotia six days ago.
Mounties are expected to celebrate an informative media session at 2 pm.
Up to 140 crew members have been involved in the search every day for Lily Sullivan, six years old, and Jack Sullivan, four years old, to whom the police believe she wandered from her rural home in Gairloch Road at Lansdowne station last Friday morning.
RCMP SGT. Josh Wiese, the incident commander, said that some of the search engines have been there since day 1.
“They are tired and optimistic. They have a job. This is all that the search and rescue does is that they try to take people home safely,” Wiese said Tuesday near the search area, about 25 kilometers southwest of New Glasgow.
“They are trying to stay in the mission. They are sacrificing their personal lives. They are sacrificing a lot to be here to try to help this family bring these two children home.”
RCMP spokesperson CPL. Carlie McCann said that teams were expected to continue searching Tuesday and Wednesday morning “with the tools and resources that are identified as necessary.”
On Tuesday afternoon, McCann said that the case remains an investigation of missing people.
“The police are studying all the investigation and there are a variety of teams involved that are applying the tools and skills and the experience necessary to locate and take Lily and Jack home,” he said.
The drones went to the skies on Monday and Tuesday night, using “infrared technology with vision of the future” to detect temperature differences, which can point people to specific areas for land searches.
But McCann would not say if there has been any children’s sign. She repeated that the police were following all the information as it enters.
The RCMP has enlisted four drone operators to help with the search in Pictou County. Drones use “infrared technology with vision of the future” to detect temperature differences. Cassidy Chisholm has the story.
Police and helicopter dogs have also been helping in the search, and it is the first time that the Guard of New Scotland, an organized voluntary group, was deployed provincially. The public has been asked to stay away while the teams do their job.
Daniel Martell, the children’s stepfather, said he thinks the children slid down his back door while he and the mother of the children were in his room with his one -year -old daughter.
In the days after the disappearance, Martell has remained at home, receiving daily updates from search and rescue officials and talking to journalists who have descended to the rural community.
The mother of the children, Malkya Brooks-Murray, left the area to be with her family in another part of the province.
Children’s grandmother, Cyndy Murray, spoke with the Canadian press in a brief telephone interview, added that the police have advised the family not to talk to the public.
“We just wait and pray for the best, that’s all, so that our babies return home.”
Daniel Martell, Lily’s stepfather and Jack Sullivan, made a supplication on Tuesday for anyone with information about the two children who disappear in Pictou County to appear to the Police.
