When you go hard in the corners, you elbows up, the time in a game, we drop the gloves in the first period and you send a message. And we've done that. But there's also a time in a game where you want the puck, you want to stick handle, you want

to pass, you want to put the puck in the net. And we're moving later into the game. And we're at that time in the game.

We're learning more about the investigation

into two young children that have been missing for months in Nova Scotia. Six-year-old Lily Sullivan and her four-year-old brother, Jack, disappeared from their home in May and newly obtained court documents reveal how police were focused on the family. Angela McIver reports. The freshly unsealed documents detail how RCMP combed through bank records, phone data, and GPS information. Investigators wanted to piece together the movements of the children's mother, Malaya Brooks Murray, and stepfather Daniel Martel, in the days leading up to their disappearance.

Martel says he's always been open and transparent with investigators. They know my life inside and out and I was happy to share it with them. It's important for me not just because Jack and Lily were my stepkids and there's two innocent children that are missing. The documents reveal that as of July 16th, investigators did not believe the case was criminal. Six polygraph tests were done, including on both of the caregivers. Brooks Murray was given a polygraph in what RCMP say was an effort to eliminate her as a suspect in causing her children's disappearance and possible murder.

She passed and so did Martel. To date, RCP have received 740 tips and more than 9,300 videos and say a tremendous amount of careful, deliberate, investigative work is ongoing.
