The Northeast Nova R-C-M-P Major Crime Unit says tracking dogs trained to find human remains have failed to find any trace of two children reported missing from their home in Lansdowne Station more than five months ago.
The Mounties say that in late September, two cadaver dogs and their handlers covered 40 kilometres in and around Lansdowne Station, where six-year-old Lilly Sullivan and four-year-old Jack Sullivan were last seen May 2nd.
Investigators say the dogs searched the property, trails along and near a pipeline, and an area where a pink blanket was previously found.
Police say these locations were considered areas where there was the highest probability of finding the children.

The source who was briefed on the discussions says Trump was “very receptive” to the Keystone idea during his meeting with Carney at the White House.
