Summary

RCMP inexplicably questioned Chris Adair not in Nanaimo, Kamloops, or Qualicum Beach, but in Parksville — a town with no tie to the case, but with a possible conflict of interest due to Adair's family history.

Detail

Bill Kurtz Obituary
Bill Kurtz (Chris Adair's grandfather) was formerly Alderman and Mayor of Parksville
Today in Business, June 12, 2003[1]

Adair was questioned about his involvement in Lisa's disappearance at the Parksville RCMP detachment.[2][3][4]

Oddly, Nanaimo RCMP did not question Adair in Nanaimo (where Lisa was last seen), Qualicum Beach (where Adair's grandparents — and the Jaguar in which Lisa was last seen — resided), or Kamloops (where Adair was arrested).

Adair's grandfather (with whom Adair was staying at the time) was a former Mayor of Parksville.[1][5] Depending on the mayor's involvement with the police force, this could be considered a "conflict of interest".[6][7][8]
