Ha-Shilth-Sa, June 13, 2013[1]

Departure Bay in an area of Nanaimo, near the Barons Road apartment building where Lisa lived next door to her parents,[2] which was near the call centre where Lisa was scheduled to begin training on July 2nd, 2002.[3][4][5]

  • When Lisa's parents contacted their daughter's cellphone provider, they were told that the final signals from Lisa's phone were traced to the Departure Bay area in the early hours of Canada Day 2002[1], indicating the phone stopped functioning in the area soon after her final ominous text message to a friend, "Come get me, they won't let me leave."[6][7]
  • A house party took place annually at a large home located on Departure Bay Road,[8] near the beach. The host was an associate of the host of the first house party to which Lisa was brought on the evening of her disappearance[9]. Lisa may have been taken to the Departure Bay Road party for some time before being returned to the Nanaimo Lakes Road party where she was later murdered and buried.[9]
  • A "psychic" from Pennsylvania in July 2002 led Lisa's parents to perform a search at Northfield Park, which is located on Departure Bay Road.[10]
  • The Mac's Convenience store (at the corner of Departure Bay Road and Country Club Drive) sold CD copies of "Lisa's Song" by Allison Crowe,[11][12], and also allowed Lisa's mother to place a donation box[13], to raise funds to help with search efforts.
