RMH Teleservices in Country Club Mall, Nanaimo (circa 2002)
she was poised to start a new job at a call centre
Calgary Herald, April 18, 2004 (Jim Gibson)[1]

RMH Teleservices (later called NCO Group) was a Pennsylvania-based telecommunications company which operated a large call center located within Country Club Mall in Nanaimo.[2]

The call center was a 5-minute walk from the Barons Road apartment building where Lisa lived next door to her parents.[3] At its peak, RMH was Nanaimo's 2nd-largest employer in Nanaimo (after the mill), with over 1,500 full-time employees.[2] RMH handled customer service for American customers of MSN, and in 2002 expanded to take on a second client, MCI.

Lisa was initially hired in April 2002 and offered a telemarketing (outgoing) position, which she declined, opting instead to hold off for a customer service (incoming) position with the new segment which was to begin in July.[1][3]

Lisa was originally scheduled for a training class starting July 29th, but she had a friend call in a favour owed by a member of management.[2] Her friend indicated that Lisa was eager to get started because she intended to move quickly up through the ranks, aiming for a position as a Trainer.[4]

Lisa's start date was changed to Tuesday, July 2nd.[5]

Her failure to show up for her first day of training was one of several reasons her parents knew their daughter had met with foul play.[6][7][8]
