Crime Bit with Danelle Hallan

Part 2: New Tips Shift The Search

In this episode of Crime Bit , we continue the investigation into Lily and Jack Sullivan as new tips, reported sightings, and digital leads complicate what was already a difficult search. From reports of a loud vehicle and possible hotel sightings to trail cameras, volunteer searches, and repeated RCMP briefings, investigators sort what could be verified from what was ruled out, while online rumors grow faster than facts. The case matters because misinformation can overwhelm real leads and pull focus away from verifiable timelines. We track the developments that stood up to scrutiny and what the latest updates suggest about where the investigation goes next.

Part 1: The Vanishing From A Remote Home

In this episode of Crime Bit, we examine the disappearance of 6-year-old Lily Sullivan and her 4-year-old brother Jack Sullivan from their rural home in Pictou County, Nova Scotia on May 2, 2025. With a remote property, no cell service, and a narrow window between backyard play and silence, family and neighbors raise the alarm as RCMP launch an urgent search using K9s, drones, and ground teams to lock down the first hours. The case matters because remote terrain can erase clues fast, leaving investigators dependent on timelines, search coverage, and what can be verified early. We break down the confirmed facts, the first leads, and the questions that shaped the initial response.

The Boy In The Chimney: The Joshua Maddox Mystery

In this episode of Crime Bit with Danelle Hallan, we examine the disappearance of 18-year-old Joshua Maddox in Woodland Park, Colorado. After he left for a walk, he never returned, and early assumptions that he ran off stalled urgency as searches came up empty. Years later, a demolition crew uncovered his remains inside a cabin chimney less than a mile from home. Authorities called it accidental, but a blocked fireplace, neatly folded clothes, and unresolved logistics fueled suspicion and left the family without clear answers.

Dan Davis Crashed, Walked Away, And Vanished On Camera

In this episode, we examine the disappearance of 59-year-old Dan Davis outside Chicago after he stopped answering texts at all. Hours later he crashed his car, refused medical care, was dropped at workplace, and then walked out alone, never seen again. Security footage shows him wandering for a day through yards and alleys, falling, circling streets, and asking for directions he should know. His apartment was left in disarray, and the last sighting came near a church before the trail went cold.

The Shelby Thornburgh Case Has A Face, But No Arrest

In this episode of Crime Bit with Danelle Hallan, we examine the 2015 murder of 20-year-old Shelby Thornburgh in Houston. A client texted that he had arrived, and minutes later she was dead in her apartment, with almost no trace left behind. Within months, police released unusually clear surveillance footage of a man entering and leaving the building in a tight window. With no match to the burner phone and no public identification from the video, the case shows how even strong leads can stall when key evidence cannot be tied to a name.
