''"We're hoping that keeping Lisa's name out there might somehow bring in some information. And I hope people listening to Lisa's Song will remember to keep themselves safe, to keep their family members safe if they can."'' ~ Joanne Young, Lisa's Mother

Lisa Marie Young's life was taken from her in the early hours of Sunday, June 30, 2002. Lisa, who'd turned 21 that May 5, was murdered – and the killers and accomplices in Nanaimo have not given her family opportunity to bury her body. This grievous tragedy continues to irreparably harm Lisa's family and loved ones and her community. There is no justice – yet.
 
Lisa had gone out socializing on Saturday, June 29, a festive night in the midst of the Canada Day long weekend. After leaving a nightclub in downtown Nanaimo, B.C., Lisa had gone to a pair of house parties with companions - celebrating the birthday of a friend, Dallas Hulley.
 
As Saturday evening became Sunday am, Lisa wanted to get a bite of food from an all-night shop or fast-food location and to go home. Chris(topher William) Adair, a man in his 20s whom Young, Hulley and friends had joined earlier at the nightclub, offered to drive Lisa in a burgundy Jaguar. But, CA, or, more exactly, CWA drove Lisa to another location. On her cell-phone Lisa Marie communicated to her friends back at the house party.
 
Hulley has recounted that final early am conversation: ''"Sure enough it's Lisa on her cell-phone. I call her back. She goes, "Dallas, I don't know what's going on - this guy won't bring me back! We're sitting in a driveway on Bowen Road and he won't bring me back'."''
 
The car in which Lisa was taken from her friends was owned by Chris(topher William) Adair's grandmother - Geraldine Lorna Adair, a prominent member of the business community in Qualicum Beach (a Vancouver Island community not far from Nanaimo, BC). "Gerry" Adair, a realtor, subsequently sold the Jaguar, and threatened to sue over talk that could implicate her grandson in the disappearance. CWA's Grandfather, William "Bill" Kurtz, was a longtime island politician - and held the position of Alderman (1972-75) and Mayor (1976 - '81) of nearby Parksville, BC. (Kurtz passed away on June 12, 2003, one year after Lisa's death. "Gerry" Adair passed on June 9, 2011.)
 
When he encountered Young, Hulley and co. that 2002 weekend in Nanaimo, Christopher William Adair had a criminal record - convictions for assault, and unauthorized use of credit cards arising from crimes in Kamloops, BC and Edmonton, Alberta (places where Brenda Adair, his mother, and other family lived). Charges of fraud, theft (Kamloops, BC) and assaulting a peace officer (Yorkton, Saskatchewan) would soon follow.
 
"Where is Lisa?", a 2020 podcast series that's reignited information about Lisa's case,  tracked Chris William Adair to be currently residing in Japan.  (NB "Jag guy" Christopher William Adair - is not the same person as lives in Nanaimo, BC with a similar, but different name and character.) This recent investigative series can be heard on iTunes and Podbean <small>(click these platform links @  https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/where-is-lisa-island-crime-season-1/id1513479877 and https://islandcrime.podbean.com)</small>
 
In Lisa Marie Young's hometown police have failed to bring to justice those responsible for her murder / disappearance. Identities of those involved with Lisa's death, as wel as witnesses, even a local dubbed the "clean-up girl" are all known and discussed within - and beyond - the island community.

Lisa Marie Young's life was taken from her in the early hours of Sunday, June 30, 2002. Lisa, who'd turned 21 that May 5, was murdered – and the killers and accomplices in Nanaimo have not given her family opportunity to bury her body. This grievous tragedy continues to irreparably harm Lisa's family and loved ones and her community. There is no justice – yet.

Lisa had gone out socializing on Saturday, June 29, a festive night in the midst of the Canada Day long weekend. After leaving a nightclub in downtown Nanaimo, B.C., Lisa had gone to a pair of house parties with companions - celebrating the birthday of a friend, Dallas Hulley.

As Saturday evening became Sunday am, Lisa wanted to get a bite of food from an all-night shop or fast-food location and to go home. Chris(topher William) Adair, a man in his 20s whom Young, Hulley and friends had joined earlier at the nightclub, offered to drive Lisa in a burgundy Jaguar. But, CA, or, more exactly, CWA drove Lisa to another location. On her cell-phone Lisa Marie communicated to her friends back at the house party.

Hulley has recounted that final early am conversation: "Sure enough it's Lisa on her cell-phone. I call her back. She goes, "Dallas, I don't know what's going on - this guy won't bring me back! We're sitting in a driveway on Bowen Road and he won't bring me back'."

Lisa's song

A few months after the disappearance of Lisa, Allison Crowe and band recorded Lisa's Song - live "Inside Pandora's Box". Pandora's Box is a television studio in Victoria, B.C. - home to A-Channel television.

"Lisa's Song" written by Allison Crowe in 2002, was released on CD in 2003. Engineered & Produced by Seacoast Sound Studio's Rick Erickson. - with thanks to With thanks to Brad Edwards, Mel Cooper, their crew at Seacoast, CFAX and B107.3 Radio, together with the Pacific Music Industry Association for their caring and generous support.

* Several publications misreported dates surrounding Lisa's disappearance (likely confused by the long weekend). Lisa's parents last saw her late Sunday June 30th, and she was last seen by her friends at the bar and at two parties early Monday July 1st (Canada Day), which was also the day she was to move into her new apartment, and when her disappearance was reported to RCMP.   (See the timelines.)
