“The officer who took the initial report is away until Friday...”—Nanaimo RCMP to Lisa's parents
July 2, 2002
Summary
After an RCMP officer finally showed up in response to the report of Lisa's disappearance, he picked up a photo of Lisa, and then promptly went on several scheduled days off.
Lisa's parents were informed of this after several unsuccessful attempts to follow up with the attending officer the next morning, and they were advised to call back when the officer was back at work.
Detail
![He asked some questions and took a photograph of Lisa. Then he told them he was off for the next four days and to call him on Friday. [Lisa's parents] were incredulous. This was on a Sunday. [When they contacted the media] a reporter came over right away.]](/w/File:Nw20150501a.png)
As the day went on and Lisa's parents grew increasingly anxious, they made several more calls to the RCMP that day.[3] Their persistence finally resulted in a uniformed officer stopping by in the evening, though only to pick up a photo of Lisa.Template:NDN20040704[2]
Urgency increased the next morning when Lisa failed to show up for her first day of work at a new job she'd been eager to start.[4] Seeking an update of the RCMP's findings, Lisa's parents tried to contact the officer who'd attended the night before. After several calls they were told that he'd gone on several scheduled days off, and they were advised to call back after that.[5]
The July 4th, 2002 edition of the Nanaimo Daily News, included a quote from RCMP Cst. Murray Conway: "Nothing's come up that would suggest foul play, we just don't know where she is".Template:NDN20040704
By this point, the only known progress by the RCMP was that Lisa's case had been "put on the national police computer".Template:NDN20040704[6]
