Cadaver dogs to search for Jack and Lilly for the first time since N.S. siblings went missing…
For the first time, Mounties intend to bring in specialized cadaver dogs to search for two young children who went missing more than four months ago from their home in rural northeastern Nova Scotia.
The children were first reported missing by their mother Malehya Brooks-Murray at 10:01 a.m. on May 2.
Brooks-Murray told police she believed the two children had wandered away from their home in rural Lansdowne Station, N.S. Police arrived 26 minutes later.
“In the early days of the investigation, the area around Lansdowne Station was being scoured by trained search and rescue teams. And, Police Dog Services, which was deployed, does have the ability to pick up human scent, including that of recent remains,” Cindy Bayers, a spokesperson for the RCMP, said Friday in an email.
“This is, however, the first time Police Dog Services teams specifically trained in human remains detection have conducted searches in relation to this investigation.”
Mounties currently have between six and eight of the specialized dogs that are operational across the country. The only one on the east coast right now is based in Prince Edward Island and its handler is out of commission for medical reasons.
