Following new information received last evening regarding the whereabouts of Mary (Molly) Martin, RCMP Nova Scotia requested that a localized alert be sent notifying residents of communities east of the Mira River in Cape Breton to be on the lookout for 14-year-old Martin who was last seen August 13 at approximately 4 p.m. in Eskasoni.

Police believe Martin and Darcy Doyle were in the area of Canoe Lake in Southeast Cape Breton at approximately 7 p.m. yesterday and are thought to be using a green coloured ATV.

Martin is described as Indigenous, 5-foot-1 and 100 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She has a rose tattoo on her left forearm and may be wearing eyeglasses.

Martin is believed to be with Doyle, 47, from Mira Gut. Doyle is described as 6-foot tall, 190 pounds, with long black hair, a full beard and moustache, and brown eyes.

The RCMP has been partnering with the Nova Scotia Department of Lands and Forestry to conduct aerial searches by helicopter. In addition, RCMP aerial surveillance was initiated last night and continues today. The Cape Breton Regional Police Dog Service is also assisting in the investigation.  

Multiple RCMP detachments and the Cape Breton Regional Police Service are collaborating on the investigation and continue to follow up on each tip. We are encouraging Molly to reach out to police or to family. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Molly Martin is asked to contact Eskasoni RCMP at 902-379-2822.
