"RCMP keep searching for woman"

Nanaimo Mounties are continuing to follow up leads in the case of a missing Nanaimo woman.

Lisa Young, 21, went missing in the early hours of June 30 and has not been seen or contacted by family or friends since. She was last seen on Skinner Street in downtown Nanaimo after leaving The Jungle Cabaret around 2 a.m.

Const. Jack Eubank said Monday five serious crimes investigators were working on the case. Eubank said they have had two dozen tips officers were looking into and, and more are coming in.

Lisa was supposed to move that Sunday and to start a new job Tuesday. Her parents, Don and Joanne Young, also said they were very close with their daughter, and it was unlike her not to be in touch with them if she were going to be away for any length of time.

The disappearance is apparently causing the family great stress. On Monday, Eubank requested news outlets to direct all inquiries to himself rather than the Youngs.

The family is beginning to feel the strain of the disappearance of their daughter and the many requests from news outlets, said Eubank.

Anyone with information about Young or her whereabouts, or who saw her on Saturday night, is asked to call police. Information can also be passed on anonymously, and for a potential reward, to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
