Divers comb Colliery Dam for Lisa Young
Eyeing the upper Colliery Dam as he prepared his diving gear Friday, Terry Tom hoped to finally unravel the mystery of what happened to his cousin Lisa Marie Young.
Based on information given by Chemainus psychic Christine Brant, Young's family decided to ask Tom and Andrew Jackson — both certified divers from Lisa's west coast Tla-o-qui-aht band — to search the dam for signs of her.
"Joanne (Young, Lisa's mother) is my aunt and we're doing all we can to help the family," Tom said.
"We searched the entire area for Lisa last year, and we're prepared to keep looking for as long as it takes to find her. It's the least we can do."
Lisa went missing on the July 1 weekend in 2002 and hasn't been seen or heard from since. She was last seen leaving a downtown nightclub, and police suspect foul play.
Brant, who claims to be a medium, said she connected to Lisa and the missing woman described an area with three connected bodies of water, a flat-roofed building and grown-in paths.
Don Young, Lisa's father, said the description fits the Colliery Dam area, and the fact the family believes Lisa was at a party just a few blocks away on the night she went missing led to Friday's search.
"It's frustrating for us that, after all this time, Lisa still hasn't been found," he said. "My family is looking for closure."
