The mother of two missing Canadian children has voiced her agony six months after they disappeared, while authorities continue to dismiss abduction theories.

Malehya Brooks-Murray is in despair over her missing kids, four-year-old Jack and six-year-old Lilly Sullivan, who vanished on May 2 near Lansdowne Station in Pictou County, Nova Scotia.

With winter drawing near and no new leads emerging, Brooks-Murray has made a heartrending plea for their return through a Facebook page titled “Find Lilly and Jack Sullivan.”

“As a mother, I love my children more than life itself and feel utterly heartbroken not being able to hold Lilly and Jack, kiss them, breathe in their scent, or tuck them into bed. I miss waking up to their sweet, smiling faces,” she expressed in a post dated October 13.

“The longing I feel for them to come home is beyond anything I could have imagined. There isn’t a single day, minute, or second that passes without me thinking about my children.”

‘I walk into a store and all I see is things they love, that I want to get for them when they come home, the candy they like, the clothes they wear, the toys they love, all I see is them.’ 

Meanwhile, a reward of $15,000 Canadian dollars is being offered for information about their disappearance.

Brooks-Murray said she ‘so desperately’ aches for her children’s return ‘back into my arms where I will never let them go.’

‘I am truly traumatized not being able to hear the sweet sound of their voices, their laugh, when they would sing a Gabby’s doll house song, that now only makes me cry when I hear it because all I hear is Lilly and Jack singing along,’ she continued. 

Jack, 4, and Lilly, 6, went missing from their home in Nova Scotia six months ago and were reported missing by their mother, Malehya Brooks-Murray, on May 2

As the cold of winter approaches and no new theories have been unearthed, Brooks-Murray made a heartbreaking plea for their return on a Facebook page, Find Lilly and Jack Sullivan

‘Not being able to breathe in their scent when I embrace them tightly. I don’t want these moments to be memories, I want my babies home. My Lilly Mae and Jacky. The pure pain I suffer of just not knowing where they are has impacted my life and M and my family in the most devastating way.

‘Life feels extremely hard to keep going. With no answers it is just pure lostness, like I can no longer feel at home anymore. No matter how lost I feel I have not given up hope that my children will be returned home to me safe and sound. I have all the faith and hope I will see them again.’

The missing children’s mother praised ongoing search efforts on the part of family members, friends and the volunteer group Please Bring Me Home, which is conducting a search on November 15.

Brooks-Murray vowed to ‘never stop searching’ for Jack and Lilly and wrote that ‘someone, somewhere, knows something so please bring my babies home.’

Her heartbreaking plea for the return of her children comes as theories over their disappearance continue to swirl.

The children, who lived with their mother and stepfather, Daniel Martell, disappeared from their home in Lansdowne Station on the morning of May 2. 

Police have released no new leads on where the young children could be and have dismissed theories of an abduction after witness statements weren’t able to provide any evidence.

The Nova Scotia RCMP released statements from nearby neighbors, who said they heard a car going back and forth near the home in the middle of the night before the children vanished.

Nearby resident Brad Wong told constables that he had heard a ‘loud vehicle’ coming and going around the area in the early hours of the morning on the day the children were reported missing, CBC reported. 

RCMP Corporal Charlene Curl wrote that Wong ‘said his residence is elevated from Daniel’s [Martell] residence and he could see vehicle lights over the treetops.’

‘He said the vehicle left three or four times after midnight and into the early hours of the morning. He said the vehicle would drive off in the distance and he could hear it stop and then return. He said it remained in earshot the entire time,’ court documents stated, according to CBC. 

Another nearby resident, Justin Smith, told investigators on May 17 that he heard a vehicle on Highway 289 turn around by railroad tracks near an intersection close to the children’s home around 1.30am. 

‘[Smith] later spoke with Brad Wong who informed him Daniel’s vehicle came and went five or six times that night. Wong said the car Smith heard was Daniel,’ the constable added. 

Police said that with no evidence such as surveillance footage available, the witness statements could not be proven. 

Spokesperson Cindy Bayers told The Canadian Press on October 21 that police ‘found no evidence of any vehicle activity at that time. As such, no driver has been identified, and the presence of a vehicle has not be substantiated as a key element in the investigation.’ 

Staff Sargent Rob McCamon has said that the case is still being treated as a missing persons case, and no criminal activity has been found at this time.

Please Bring Me Home Executive Director Nick Oldrieve said their search set for November 15 is focusing on the ‘misadventure/wandering’ theory 

‘There are multiple aspects of this investigation ongoing simultaneously,’ McCamon said in a release. 

‘Each piece of information, including the results from the search teams, helps inform our next steps. With support from agencies across Canada, the investigative team is working to validate or eliminate leads and follow the evidence wherever it takes us.

‘At this stage, and as we’ve said all along, we’re considering all possibilities. We’ll keep going until we determine, with certainty, the circumstances of the children’s disappearance and they’re found.’ 

A search on October 8 around Lansdowne Station and the children’s home did not result in the finding of any human remains.  

A ‘last ditch’ search effort, set for November 15, is set to focus on and potentially rule out a ‘misadventure’ or ‘wandering’ theory, according to Please Bring Me Home Executive Director Nick Oldrieve.

Oldrieve told the Daily Mail that the organization was contacted by the children’s paternal grandmother, Belynda Gray, as well as ‘associates’ of their mother, Brooks-Murray. 

He noted that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is set to continue searching in ‘full force’ come spring as the season is ‘bar none’ the ‘best time to search for anybody.’ 

‘At this time we’re only involved from a wandering slash misadventure search effort. And that involves waterways,’ he said. 

‘So ponds, lakes, standing water, and creeks, have to be revisited,’ he added.

He said that the low water levels will help reveal more to the search teams as they are expected to be scouring around a little more than three miles. 

Oldrieve said that along with his team, the group has invited volunteers and members of the public to scour land near the children’s home for any sign of Jack and Lilly.
