When the day finally came for the RCMP's first ground search in relation to Lisa's case (80 days after her disappearance), the event may have seemed more like a half-morning training seminar, rather than a vigorous search for Lisa.

20 officers were on-site for 9am and finished shortly before noon — less than 3 hours minus setup/takedown, breaks, and a detailed instructional lecture by a senior officer.[1]
