{{Hammock-captioned.gif}}

A neighbour of the Nanaimo Lakes Road residence said that [on or around Canada Day] he saw '''''"what looked like a body in a hammock"''''' in the backyard of [[827 Nanaimo Lakes Road]], around the time that Lisa Marie Young went missing. Soon after, he saw '''''"equipment moving a lot of soil around in the backyard"'''''.{{CN20201217}}

The neighbour said he '''reported this to RCMP at the time'''{{CN20201217}}, however there was <u>no response</u>.

<!-- This report to the Nanaimo RCMP may have taken place on Canada Day, as were Lisa's parents' first several calls to RCMP (which were originally deferred 48 hours). It's conceivable that the detachment had improper staffing levels for the Canada Day long weekend/Nanaimo Bathtub Festival, and also possible that Lisa could have been saved, had police acted immediately. -->
