"The podcast did a really good job showcasing who she was as a person which I think draws more interest in regards to helping solve the case," said Bosma.

Called "Where is Lisa?", the podcast quickly ranked among iTunes's Top 10 true crime podcasts in Canada since the first episodes were released last week.

A former CBC producer who was in Nanaimo the night Lisa disappeared is behind the podcast.

"I felt it was not acceptable that someone should simply vanish and that no one has been held accountable. I really felt strongly that Lisa's story mattered before the pandemic and it matters now," Laura Palmer said.

Young's family was involved in numerous searches following her disappearance and has kept her memory alive at annual vigils welcomes the attention.

"I think it's important to all of us to get the message out to wherever we can because you know my family, we still haven't had closure to our missing granddaughter," said Moses Martin, Lisa's grandfather.

At the time of her disappearance, Young was described as 5'4, 115 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.
