Category:RCMP dossier inaccuracies
In law, a dossier is defined as:
a well-organized and meaningful collection of information compiled for a specific purpose, such as a legal case or investigation.[1]
Research shows that the accuracy of recorded/reported details significantly impacts the outcome of an investigation.[3]
Dossiers published on the RCMP's website include printable "official" missing persons posters for over 2,000 cases[4] — but Lisa's stands out from the rest.[2]
A recent study of the accuracy of police records in missing persons cases found:[5]
- 23% of the cases contained 1 discrepancy.
- 3% contained 2 discrepancies.
- None contained more than 2 discrepancies/errors.
Lisa's dossier contains at least 8 errors/discrepancies, even though it's been edited several times in recent years. In fact, investigators were provided with a list of these mistakes, however, a subsequent edit of the document showed no corrections made — but new misinformation was added.[6]
As a result, Lisa's "official" dossier could be described as “mostly wrong”.
There are several versions of Lisa's dossier saved on archive.org (Index of archives) — the most significant changes were in 3 updates:
