RCMP continue to search for missing Nanaimo woman

Nanaimo RCMP will conduct pointed searches this week for the body of a 21-year-old woman who has been missing since she was spotted getting into a Jaguar after a party in the early hours of June 30.

Friends and family of Lisa Marie Young say they are hopeful that the search "planned for Tuesday morning" is proof that police are getting closer to solving the mystery of the popular young woman's disappearance.

"We just try to get through every day," said Joanne Young, Lisa Marie's mother.

Although police have not released the exact location of the search, they have said that they made the decision to examine several areas after receiving information in relation to the investigation.

Police have identified the driver of the red Jaguar and spoken to the man, who is in custody pending charges unrelated to Lisa Marie's case. RCMP have not identified him as a suspect, but say he continues to be a part of the investigation.

In the meantime, Lisa Marie's family plan to hold a candlelight vigil in her memory at 8:30 p.m. today at Swy-a-lana Lagoon, which was one of the missing woman's favourite places to hang out.

They have also increased a reward for information that might solve the case to $11,000.
