"Two officers from the Nanaimo detachment showed up at their house, warning Don they would charge him with Obstruction of Justice if he pursued media coverage. RCMP said that did not want the Young's 'interfering with the integrity of the RCMP'".[1]

Separately, the Jaguar driver's grandmother threatened to sue both the RCMP and Lisa's parents.[2]

Lisa's parents learned the identity of the driver when investigators brought Lisa's mother to Parksville RCMP detachment to take part in their questioning of the driver.[3][4]
