Nanaimo songstress records 'Lisa's Song'

The family of Tla-o-qui-aht's Lisa Young, who has been missing since June, is hoping to keep her memory alive through a song written by Nanaimo songstress Allison Crowe.

Lisa's father Don Young, along with her grandfather Moses Martin have been handing out copies of Lisa's Song, which Crowe performed at a vigil for Lisa Marie Young last December.

Young says he understands that memories fade with time, and he's hoping that hearing the song will ensure that his daughter isn't forgotten. He hopes that one day he'll learn of her fate. "You just learn to live with the pain, there's nothing else you can do," he says.

Copies of Lisa's Song have been given to local radio stations, who have promised to give it airtime. Lisa Young, 21, has been missing since June 30. The Nanaimo woman was last seen leaving a Nanaimo house party with a man driving a burgundy Jaguar.

Nanaimo RCMP say there is nothing new to report in the case.
