<small>This is an unfinished outline of events, created in hopes of grabbing the attention of someone at CBC News who can/will bring this outrageous scandal into the public eye at the national level, hopefully resulting in a public inquiry and resolution for Lisa's case, and ideally, spurring sweeping change within our federal police force.<br><br>I have the all facts and can present them meticulously, but I am not skilled at presenting them in a way that gets people's attention and trust, and hopefully, upsets them.</small>

'''Lisa Marie Young''' was a 21-year-old{{NDN20020704}} half-[[wikipedia:Indigenous peoples in Canada|Indigenous]]{{MM20180404}} woman who on Canada&nbsp;Day&nbsp;2002{{YT20090515}} "[[wikipedia:Missing person|disappeared]]" from [[wikipedia:Nanaimo|Nanaimo]],&nbsp;[[wikipedia:British Columbia|BC]]{{NDN20090506}} while out celebrating with friends.{{NDN20090626}}

The case has seen no arrests, and no remains were recovered... despite RCMP receiving "thousands" of tips from the public, including precise burial coordinates

----

Lisa and her friend Dallas got a ride to a big houseparty from a man they'd just met who was driving a distinctive maroon Jaguar. After the trio moved on to a second party, Lisa and the driver got back in the car with the plan to bring food back to the party.

An hour later Lisa called Dallas, upset: "He won't bring me back." She then texted: "They won't let me leave."  Soon after, her phone was shut off, and Lisa's friends and family have never heard from her since.

Lisa failed to show up for morning plans with her dad to help her move into a new apartment.

The next morning, Lisa didn't show up for plans with her dad, to move her into her new apartment.
Her parents called "all" of Lisa's many friends
