In a revelation that’s sending chills through the community, a neighbor living just steps from the Sullivan family home says police asked for multiple days of trail-camera footage—before Lily and Jack Sullivan were officially reported missing.
According to the resident, investigators arrived with a startlingly specific request: not just the night the children disappeared, but several days leading up to it. The implication has ignited whispers of a timeline far more complicated—and far more troubling—than anyone was first told.
“I thought it was strange,” the neighbor said, speaking on condition of anonymity. “They didn’t just want one clip. They wanted everything. Days of movement. Days of nothing.”
The request has fueled a growing question gripping the case: What did police already suspect?
Sources familiar with the investigation say trail cameras in the area capture a narrow corridor of woodland frequently used by locals—and potentially by anyone trying to avoid main roads. That police zeroed in on this footage so early has left residents uneasy, wondering whether authorities were tracking patterns, not moments.
“People assumed the kids vanished suddenly,” the neighbor added. “But if police wanted days of footage, that suggests they were looking for something that started earlier.”
Officials have not confirmed why the extended surveillance window was requested, declining to comment on investigative strategy. But the silence has only intensified speculation online, where armchair detectives are poring over maps, timestamps, and prior sightings—searching for the missing link.
As the hunt for Lily and Jack continues, one thing is clear: the timeline may be shifting, and with it, the story the public thought it knew.
If investigators were retracing steps days in advance, the question haunting this case now is simple—and terrifying:
What happened before anyone realized the children were gone?
