Hello, listeners. Before we start, I just want to remind you, you can listen to nighttime

early and ad-free on Amazon Music, include it with Prime.

A desperate search is underway tonight in Nova Scotia. Two siblings, age just four and six,

are believed to have wandered away from their home on Friday morning and haven't been seen since.

I want to hold them and I want them home.

I mean, everywhere I go, people stare.

That's something I have to live with until, you know, the truth makes its way out.

And the truth always makes its way out.

You are listening to the Nighttime Podcast.

It's now been over four weeks since four-year-old Jack and his

six-year-old sister, Lily Sullivan, were first reported missing from the rural Nova Scotia home.

As we detailed in a series of previous nighttime episodes, the children's mother and stepfather

told police that when they awoke at about 10 a.m. on Friday, May 2nd, Lily and Jack were gone.

Since then, this case has twisted and turned in nearly every direction and has become a topic

of both concern and conversation for people all over the world. And as expected, over the past

week, the story has evolved again in several significant ways. The children's stepfather,

Daniel Martel, has shared details at the polygraph test he'd been calling for since public

suspicions found their way directed towards him. The RCMP have clarified details of the timeline

by answering the question, when were the children seen by someone other than their family?

There were also several notable news reports covering the case.

And of course, there's been yet another wave of ground searching.

And in this episode, Madeline Klein and I will again talk our way through all of that and more.
