Notes
Official RCMP investigation remains open/unresolved despite investigators having received accurate, detailed and verifiable details about Lisa's murder and precise burial location.[6]

While officially classified as a "missing persons" case,[7] police admit that Lisa was in fact a victim of homicide.[8][9]

The investigation has made no progress[10] despite RCMP investigators having received "thousands" of tips,[11] as well as accurate, detailed and verifiable information about Lisa's murder — including her precise burial location.[6] (49.14502, -123.97504)[12][13]

This wiki will provide you with the all the publicly-available facts about Lisa's disappearance. Care has been taken to reference every claim with citations including links to original, reputable sources, wherever possible. You'll also learn the independently-verified "inside story" including details that can finally provide closure to this heartbreaking case — and the shocking events that unfolded after the answers were brought to the RCMP.

The Jungle

Lisa turned heads[6] when she entered The Jungle Cabaret at about midnight on Canada Day 2002.[6][1][3] She wore a black miniskirt with zippered black-leather thigh-high boots, cropped black leather jacket, a small leather purse and a unique chain made up of stainless-steel rings,[6][14] which she wore first as a necklace, later changing it to wear as a belt.[6] Her leather items were faux,[12] in line with Lisa's vegetarianism.[15]

Lisa was a popular young woman,[16] with a large group of friends,[17] several of which were at The Jungle that night, occupying multiple tables in a corner of the club,[6] where Lisa had recently worked as a bartender[18] until an ankle injury forced the hard-working[17] girl to take 3 months off of work[19] — her first "vacation" since she'd entered the workforce with a job at McDonald's,[20] where she'd worked her way up to a management position[17] even before she was an adult.[17]

Lisa and Dallas[21] were invited to a party by a man they'd just met.[22] She didn't want to go but felt obligated.[6] The trio attended two house parties that night.[22]


Parties

The first party was on Nanaimo Lakes Road,[23][6] across the street from Colliery Dam Park.[24] The party was huge; people were talking about it days in advance.[6] Hundreds attended over the long weekend, although some didn't stay long due to the "rough crowd" that was in attendance.[12] Lisa and Dallas only stayed an hour[25] before the driver brought them to a second party in the Cathers Lake area.[26] Lisa was seen leaving the second party with the man in the Jaguar, who'd offered to buy food for the group,[27] if Lisa would come along to help him bring the food back to the party.[12]

That was the last time Lisa's friends ever saw her.[28]

Lisa had called a friend, getting upset because the driver wouldn't bring her back to the party.[29][30] Soon after, she sent a text message, Come get me, they won't let me leave.[31] Lisa's parents would later learn that it was shortly after that text message that Lisa's cellphone was either shut off or destroyed.[32][19]

ℹ More info → see: "Timeline: July 1, 2002"


Missed plans

Lisa failed to show up for plans she'd made with her father who was going to help her move into a new apartment,[1] out of her current building where she rented the apartment right next door to her parents.[33]

This was unlike Lisa. She'd always been close with her family[1] and always kept in touch.[34][24] Her cellphone was purchased specifically so her family could always reach her[35] and had never been shut off before, but now calls were going straight to voicemail.[1]

Around 10am on Canada Day, Lisa's parents entered her apartment to retrieve their daughters' list of her many friends' phone numbers,[36] and then called every one of them.[25] Nobody knew Lisa's whereabouts, but some said they'd seen her in the company of a then-unknown man driving a maroon Jaguar,[37] leaving the bar[38] or at one of two house parties.[22]


Initial response

Around 11:30am on Canada Day, following all these foreboding warning signs, Lisa's parents called police to report their daughter's disappearance[37], however Nanaimo RCMP initially refused to accept Lisa's mother's report, telling her to "call back in 48 hours".[39] This has never been the policy of any police force in Canada,[40] as the first 72 hours are considered to be the most critical time frame of a "missing persons" investigation.[41][42] An officer did eventually attend to pick up a photo of Lisa,[1][36] but when her parents tried to follow up with him the next day, they were told he'd gone on 5 scheduled days off, so they should call back after that.[20]

Lisa's family began their own investigation[43], with her father's courier coworkers at Purolator distributing 1000's of "missing" posters across Vancouver Island.[44] The posters included her parents' home phone number,[45] and the flow of tips started immediately,[46] several mentioning a then-unknown man driving an expensive maroon Jaguar,[47][35] and at a houseparty where a "rough crowd" was in attendance.[48][12] The tips led to several ground searches being performed by Lisa's family members,[49][50] organized by her grandfather, Tla-o-qui-aht Chief[33] Moses Martin[51] — all without guidance or support from the RCMP.[43] Many of the tips and searches pointed to the vicinity of Nanaimo Lakes Road.[52]

Reasons for concern

See also: Reasons to suspect foul play

Lisa had now missed her plans with her Dad to help move her into her new apartment[1] where she'd already paid a deposit[6], and the following day she missed her first day of training[46] at a call centre where she'd eagerly pushed for a sooner start date.[6]

It was also around this time that a neighbour of the Nanaimo Lakes Road houseparty contacted RCMP to report he witnessed a burial: he'd seen what looked like a body in a hammock in the backyard of the home, and later, equipment moving soil around in the back yard.[53] RCMP did not respond to the report.

Within the first two weeks after Lisa's "disappearance", over 100 tips were called into her family and to the RCMP.[38]

Despite the influx of concerning reports, Lisa was missing 10 days before the RCMP conceded that she may have met with foul play.[1][52][37]

Around this time unknown person(s) began spreading misleading information in online forums, claiming that Lisa's body was located out of town,[38][54][55][56] causing confusion and upset.[22]

Official search delays

Lisa had been missing 80 days before the RCMP's first search,[35] including an 18-day delay due to investigators being pulled off of Lisa's case to work on an unrelated shooting[57] which was solved in less than 48 hours.[58]

ℹ More info → see: "Lisa had been missing 80 days before the RCMP's first ground search"
ℹ More info → see: "Search was delayed 18 days due to RCMP prioritization of simple 2 day case"

The search location, the Biggs Road area[35] — the location of little more than Nanaimo's jail — was chosen based on a tip reportedly received in August[57][36] — while Chris was imprisoned at the jail.[59]

Officers were on-site for 2½ hours (including setup, training and breaks).[35] Lisa's family returned to search the same location a few months later.[49]

ℹ More info → see: "RCMP's first search was focused more on officer training than on Lisa"

RCMP stated there were more locations they wanted to search, but were unable due to a lack of manpower.[60][43] It would be another 18 years before the RCMP performed their second search in relation to Lisa's case.[53]

Psychics (included for information only)

Chris Adair

The unique car was eventually identified as a late 80's[37] Jaguar XJ-40 and located 50km to the north, in Qualicum Beach.[33] Its owners — Bill Kurtz, a former Mayor of Parksville,[61] and Gerry Adair, a prominent real estate agent[62] — had on June 30th, 2002 loaned the car to their grandson, Christopher William Adair.[25][63]

Chris was a friendly and charismatic[24] 27-year-old,[59] from a wealthy family of lawyers and businessmen.[64] He grew up in Yorkton, Saskatchewan,[25] spending summers with his grandparents on Vancouver Island[65]. Chris dropped out of law school,[12] and would later work for a shady investment firm.[66]

Criminal history

His British Columbia criminal record consists of several similar convictions between 2000 and 2002,[59] and he's been named in several civil lawsuits.[67]

After his encounter with Lisa, Chris returned to Kamloops,[59] a city 500km inland with roughly the same population as Nanaimo. Chris had been, two months earlier, released from Kamloops Correctional Centre where he'd served 10 months for three Fraud-related charges, plus an Assault which may have occurred in the courtroom during the trial.[59]

Chris was located when Kamloops RCMP arrested him around July 20th on charges of Fraud and Theft stemming from an incident in Kamloops a year earlier.[59] In an unusual move two days later, the courts transferred the two charges from Kamloops to Nanaimo — although only the Theft charge arrived.[59] There is no mention of the Fraud charge after it was transferred out of Kamloops.

Chris was transported back to Vancouver Island, and released.[59] The next day he was questioned about Lisa's disappearance.[59]

Questioned

The interrogation took place not in Nanaimo where the RCMP file was located, nor in Qualicum Beach where Chris was staying,[33] but in Parksville,[64] where his grandfather was Mayor a few years earlier.[61]

In another unusual move, Lisa's mother Joanne was brought in during the questioning[24] and told to hug the man with whom her daughter was last seen.[64] Joanne asked him where her daughter was, to which he replied, I can't, before pausing and then trailing off with I'm sorry, I don't mean to disrespect your family.[68]

RCMP released Chris without obtaining a logical explanation of the circumstances under which Lisa left the car he was driving.[59] It would be another few weeks before RCMP seized the Jaguar for forensic inspection, only to find that the car had recently been thoroughly steam cleaned,[43][64] thus destroying any potential trace evidence.

After Lisa

At Chris's criminal hearing for the outstanding Theft charge, he was found guilty but handed an unusually lenient Conditional Sentence Order (CSO) requiring that, for 90 days, he remains in the province and doesn't commit any other crimes.[59] Thirty days later, he breached both of those conditions when he assaulted an RCMP officer in Saskatchewan.[25][33] He was returned to Nanaimo to serve the remainder of his CSO in jail. The Breach charge was dropped. Chris was convicted of Assaulting a Peace Officer but he was sentenced to only one day in jail.[59]

It's believed that soon after his release, Chris left the country, first relocating to Japan[69] before settling in Turkey[66] where he's reportedly remained ever since, other than a trip back to Canada in 2021 to attend his grandmother's funeral.[70]

Nobody has been held accountable for Lisa's "disappearance" despite police having received thousands of tips from the public.[11]


Private search efforts

Frustrated with the lack of progress in the case,[71] Lisa's parents intensified their own investigative efforts.[23][72] Now armed with Chris's name, they were able to obtain contact information for Chris's grandparents, which led them to locate the Jaguar parked at Chris's grandparents' home.[33]


Silencing Lisa's family

Lisa's father, Don, was warned by RCMP not to proceed with the distribution of an updated batch of "missing" posters, this version including a photo of the Jaguar as well as Chris's full name; he went ahead anyway.[24] Chris's grandmother threatened to sue the RCMP and the Young's.[73]

Lisa's mother, Joanne, was warned on a separate occasion via a letter on RCMP letterhead for telling a Nanaimo newspaper about the man who was taken into custody and then released[43]

Lisa's parents wanted to hire a private investigator but were dissuaded by RCMP investigators who said doing so would interfere with the official investigation.[74]

Within a year of Lisa's disappearance, Lisa's parents were threatened by RCMP with an Obstruction charge.[43] A letter was subsequently sent, on RCMP letterhead, formally cutting Lisa's parents off of information about their daughter's case.[24]

RCMP told Lisa's parents that she was never at the Nanaimo Lakes Road party,[52] despite the fact she'd been seen there by several people.[23]

Lisa's family wanted to have a Crime Stoppers video re-enactment produced about Lisa's case. In 2003, the Nanaimo RCMP's official spokesman told a journalist that Crime Stoppers no longer makes re-enactments of crimes[23] — a claim later revealed to be a blatant lie.[43] Crime Stoppers simply needed investigators to send them some basic information about the case[43] — yet it was still another 6 years before the request was submitted and a re-enactment video was produced and aired.[3]


Official misinformation

The RCMP's official dossier for Lisa's case contains several mistakes, misleading statements, omissions, and spelling errors. (See 8 issues in Category: RCMP dossier inaccuracies)

Nanaimo RCMP investigators provided information about Lisa's case to Crime Stoppers.[43] Unfortunately, most of the information presented in the Crime Stoppers re-enactment video was incorrect or misleading.[3] (See 18 issues in Category: RCMP misinformed Crime Stoppers for re-enactment)
