The posters are placed each year showing a young, vibrant woman, just starting out in life. Like many others her age, she had hopes, dreams and aspirations. Sadly, her friends and family can only wonder what life had in store for Lisa Marie. It all changed, when, in the early morning hours of June 30, 2002, she disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again.

This year marks the 21st year of Lisa Marie Young’s disappearance. The Nanaimo RCMP Serious Crime Unit continue to investigate her disappearance and believe she met with foul play, and are treating it as a homicide. Even with Nanaimo experiencing an unprecedented increase in homicides, which require significant resources to investigate, this investigation has continued to be a priority with their Unit. "Over the years, investigators have received hundreds of tips, have interviewed as many people, conducted numerous searches, and have diligently followed up on old and new information", said Reserve Constable Gary O’Brien of the Nanaimo RCMP.

At 11 AM on Sunday June 25, 2023, friends, family and the community at large will come together outside the Nanaimo RCMP detachment for song, prayer and words to mark and acknowledge Lisa Marie’s disappearance. Those in attendance will then march to the pavilion at Maffeo Sutton Park. "We want the public to know that this investigation continues to move forward. If you have information that you have never shared with police, now is the time to do so. It’s never to late", said O’Brien.

If you have information on the disappearance of Lisa Marie Young, please call the Nanaimo RCMP non-emergency line at 250-754-2345.
