=== Incorrect date of disappearance ===

The dossier has always misreported the date on which Lisa was last seen:{{Dossier2019}}

=== Additional error added in 2022 ===

In 2022, an additional date was added to the dossier &mdash; '''also incorrect''':{{Dossier2022}}

=== Comparison to dates in re-enactment ===

The Crime Stoppers video re-enactment produced in 2009 about Lisa's disappearance &mdash; which was based on information provided by Nanaimo RCMP investigators &mdash; also contained incorrect/misleading details, but ironically, the dates were one of the few details reported ''accurately'' in the video.{{YT20090515}}

The dossier's dates remain uncorrected despite investigators' ability to update it at any time. They have, however, recently added further misinformation.{{Dossier2022}}
