For more than 15 months, Malehya Brooks-Murray says she has lived in perpetual anticipation — marking childhood milestones not with celebrations, but with a growing collection of sealed cards and wrapped gifts, awaiting a homecoming that has yet to materialize.
Her son and daughter, Jack and Lilly Sullivan, then four and six, disappeared from the sparsely populated community of Lansdowne, N.S., last May under mysterious circumstances, fuelling widespread and enduring speculation about what happened to the siblings.
There are few clues, no named suspects and little is known about the investigative avenues being followed by the RCMP's Major Crime unit. All the while, Brooks-Murray has stayed out of the limelight, something that has been harshly criticized by members of the public.
In an exclusive interview with CBC News and The Globe and Mail, Brooks-Murray said she had nothing to do with her children’s disappearance, doesn’t believe she’s a suspect in the investigation and holds out hope that her children are still alive.
She explained that her silence was not a choice, but rather an instruction from the RCMP.
