An update from the Nanaimo RCMP today is giving renewed hope to the friends and family of Lisa Marie Young, who vanished without a trace, 19 years ago. Police say "numerous witnesses have now come forward who were previously too afraid to speak out."

Young's file contains "thousands of documents and hundreds of witnesses" but the hope is that somebody out there still holds the key.

(Cpl. Markus Muntener) "Obviously finding Lisa would be, uhh, really significant and we haven't done that yet, umm, but, it's hard for me just to say that we have, you know, a small little bit left to do, umm, that can change overnight if, if an important person comes forward and talks to us, um, that adds a very significant piece to that puzzle, and that, that could change."

Following this recent update from police, dozens of people marched from the RCMP detachment in Nanaimo. This is the annual march aiming to raise awareness in Young's disappearance. Organizers hope one day justice will be served.

(Cyndy Hall) "This brings a lot more attention to the file. I think people will watch this and realize that they can come forward with new information, and they are not alone."

Anyone with information on Young's disappearance is asked to contact Nanaimo RCMP.
