In 2003, RCMP spokesman[1] Const. Jack Eubank claimed that Crime Stoppers no longer produced re‑enactment videos[2] — a statement which was later proven to be a blatant lie.[3] This is one of several false or misleading statements made by Eubank and other RCMP members regarding Lisa's disappearance.[4]

In 2009 the re-enactment video was finally produced by Nanaimo & District Crime Stoppers with ShawTV[6], based on details provided by Nanaimo RCMP investigators.[3][5] Unfortunately, most of the information presented was wrong.[7]

At 1m45s in the Crime Stoppers' re‑enactment video, narrator RCMP Cst. Gary O'Brien mistakenly states there was an exhaustive search by the Nanaimo RCMP.

The fact is that, by the video's 2009 release date, RCMP had searched one location,[8][9] which took place after Lisa had been missing for 80 days.[10][11] The search lasted about 2½ hours, including setup, break, and the ad-hoc training of several officers.[11]

The search was based on a tip received in August 2002[10][12]


By this point, Lisa's family had conducted dozens of ground searches.[13][3][14] See category: Family searches

The next search for Lisa by RCMP was December 17, 2020 — Eighteen years (exactly 6,666 days) after their initial search.[15]


The re-enactment video was produced based on information provided to Crime Stoppers by Nanaimo RCMP.[3]
