The Nova Scotia government is offering up to $150,000 for information about the disappearance of siblings Lilly and Jack Sullivan, who were reported missing from their rural Pictou County home nearly seven weeks ago.
The province announced the reward on Thursday under a program that is typically used to bring to light information that can lead to arrests and convictions in specific unsolved major crimes.Â
Lilly, 6, and Jack, 4, were reported missing on May 2 from their Lansdowne Station, N.S., home, but children have still not been found despite extensive searches in the surrounding heavily wooded area and a large RCMP investigation.
Police have said they have confirmed the children were with their parents the day before they were reported missing.
Anyone who comes forward with information under the rewards for unsolved major crimes programs must provide their name and contact information, and may be called to testify in court. The number to call is 1-888-710-9090.
There are currently 122 unsolved cases where the province is offering cash rewards for information. Most of those are homicides, but roughly 20 involve missing persons.
