== Summary ==
When Lisa's mother first called Nanaimo RCMP to report Lisa's disappearance, '''RCMP staff refused to accept the report''', and advised her to call back in 2 days.

This was despite the fact that <u>no</u> police force in Canada has <u>ever</u> had a "waiting period" before a ''missing persons'' report can be filed, and, in fact, research clearly shows that '''the first 72 hours are the <u>most</u> crucial''' to a ''missing persons'' investigation.

== Detail ==

=== Parent's efforts before calling RCMP ===
Lisa's parents had reason to be concerned; it was not without due diligence that the decision was made to contact the RCMP.

'''Lisa had failed to show up for early-morning plans with her father''',{{NDN20020704}} who was going to help her move into her new apartment using his [[Purolator Courier]] truck.{{NDN20020725}}{{TC20040404}} The move was something Lisa had been looking forward to,{{P20020902}} and she had pre-paid a deposit on her new unit. As Lisa was normally extremely reliable, her parents were immediately very concerned.{{NDN20020710}}{{CD20210505}}{{FMT20020710}}

'''Calls by Lisa's mother to her cellphone were forwarded directly to voicemail'''.{{NDN20020704}} This added concern as Lisa had purchased the cellphone proactively/primarily so that her parents could always contact her (as she'd always been very close to her parents).{{NDN20020709}} Lisa always carefully ensured the phone was charged, and she had never powered it off.{{HSS20190624}}

'''Lisa's parents retrieved her address book and called ''"all"'' of her many friends.'''{{NW20150501}} Multiple friends said they saw her the previous night, in conversation outside the bar with the unknown male driver of a maroon [[Jaguar]].{{NDN20020712}} Others reported seeing her at a [[827 Nanaimo Lakes Road|houseparty]] on Nanaimo Lakes Road{{NDN20030529}}, or leaving a second party around the [[Cathers Lake]] area, in the maroon Jaguar.{{VS20110226}} But nobody knew where Lisa was now.{{HOC20201008}}

By this point, Lisa's parents were frantic.{{NW20150501}}

On '''Monday, July 1<sup>st</sup>, 2002''' (Canada Day) at about '''11:30am'''{{NDN20020710}}, Joanne Young (Lisa's mother) called the Nanaimo RCMP detachment to report that her daughter was missing.{{NW20150501}}

RCMP staff told Lisa's mother that '''''a report couldn't be filed until 48 hours after Lisa was last seen'''''.

She was advised to call back to file the report after 2 days had passed.{{NDN20020704}}{{HSS20190624}}{{HOC20201008}}{{NW20150501}}

=== Policy & Research ===
{{ABC20181008a.png|right|200px}}

While once a common myth, '''<u>no</u> police force in Canada has <u>ever</u> had a policy requiring a "waiting period"''' before submission of a ''missing persons'' report.{{MP20121201}}

Research shows that the first 72 hours are actually the ''most'' critical time frame of a "missing persons" investigation.{{ABC20181008}}{{First72hours}}
