RCMP failed to provide support or guidance for Lisa's family

From lisamarieyoung.ca

Summary

Lisa's family members were not provided emotional support, and were given no guidance or advice to assist with their own extensive search efforts.

Detail

It is very clear that the police did not respond in a proper way...It was members of her Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation...who conducted searches on their own, without the aid of the RCMP.
House of Commons, Ottawa Parliament, October 8, 2020 (MP Paul Manly)[1]

Lisa's family received an outpouring of support from the communities, but very little support from, or guidance by, the RCMP.[2] [3][4]

It was not until 2018 that a support worker met with a family member to discuss Lisa's file.[5][6]
