Why not involve Crimestoppers?

Unfortunately Crimestoppers and the Nanaimo RCMP don't work together anymore. If you report a tip to Crimestoppers the police will not look into it. This is because of changes to the law. So if you have information we need you to go directly to the police. Corporal Markus Muntener is the lead investigator of Lisa's case and he is working hard to find Lisa. He communicates regularly with the family. We need you to trust Markus and his team. If you talk to the police they do not make it public you spoke with them. It only becomes public if Lisa's case goes to court and what you told the police is a part of Lisa's case. The police can offer you protection if you are concerned about your safety. Please do the right thing for Lisa and come forward.

This is the primary case that explains how Crime Stoppers Tips must be handled. If a tip is disclosed inadvertently or police act on that tip in a way that creates evidence then charges can be stayed by Crown. AKA the file never goes to court.
