“Call back in 48 hours.”
- —Nanaimo RCMP to Lisa's mother
- July 1, 2002 11:30am
Summary
When Lisa's mother first called Nanaimo RCMP to report Lisa's disappearance, she was told that a file could not be opened for 48 hours, and was advised to call back then.
This is despite the fact that no police force in Canada has ever had a "waiting period" before a "missing persons" report can be filed, and, in fact, research clearly shows that the first 72 hours are the most crucial to a missing persons investigation.
Detail
Parent's efforts before calling RCMP
Lisa's parents had reason to be concerned; it was not without due diligence that the decision was made to contact the RCMP.
Lisa failed to show up for early-morning plans with her father,[3] who was going to help her move into her new apartment using his Purolator Courier truck.[1][2] The move was something Lisa had been looking forward to, and she had pre-paid a deposit on her new unit. As Lisa was normally extremely reliable, her parents were immediately very concerned.[4][5][6]
Calls by Lisa's mother to her cellphone were forwarded directly to voicemail.[3] This added concern as Lisa had purchased the cellphone proactively/primarily so that her parents could always contact her (as she'd always been very close to her parents).[7] Lisa always carefully ensured the phone was charged, and she had never powered it off.[8]
![She called every number in [Lisa's phone book]](/w/File:Nw20150501b.png)
Lisa's parents retrieved her address book and called "all" of her many friends.[9] Multiple friends said they saw her the previous night, in conversation outside the bar with the unknown male driver of a maroon Jaguar.[10] Others reported seeing her at a houseparty on Nanaimo Lakes Road[11], or another in the Cathers Lake area.[12] But nobody knew where Lisa was now.[13]
Contacted Police
![[Lisa's parents] called police at 11:30am on July 1.](/w/File:Ndn20020710a.png)
By this point, Lisa's parents were frantic.
On Monday, July 1st, 2002 (Canada Day) at about 11:30am[4], Joanne Young (Lisa's mother) called the Nanaimo RCMP detachment to report that her daughter was missing.[9]
Report refused by RCMP
![[RCMP] said they needed her to be gone 48 hours [before a report could be filed]](/w/File:Hss20190624b.png)
RCMP told Lisa's mother that a report could not be filed until 48 hours after Lisa was last seen, so she should call back at that point.[8][13][3]
Policy & Research
While once a common myth, no police force in Canada has ever had a policy requiring a delay before submission of a "missing persons" report.[15]
Research shows that the first 72 hours are considered to be the most critical time frame of a "missing persons" investigation.[14][16]
