Grandmother of missing N.S. children says RCMP should share more information on case

The grandmother of two missing children from Nova Scotia says she's disappointed how little information about their case has been publicly provided by the RCMP.

Six-year-old Lilly and four-year-old Jack Sullivan went missing May 2 from their home in Lansdowne Station, North Carolina.

Jack and Lilly's paternal grandmother Belinda Gray says the RCMP should say more about their investigation so the public can provide more helpful tips.

Gray says she felt frustrated and confused by the redactions of case documents released by the Crown and police to The Canadian Press and other media.

The redacted documents, released in August, include investigators filing court requests for permission to search phone records, bank records and videos related to the case.

This week, the RCMP agreed to remove some redactions from the documents after discovering that the children's school bus had been captured on video surveillance and that the bus driver had joined the search for the children.

Gray says police told her they are limiting the information they share to maintain the integrity of the investigation, but she believes they are being “overly cautious.”
