He asked some questions and took a photograph of Lisa. Then he told them he was off for the next four days and to call him on Friday. [Lisa's parents] were incredulous. 'This was on a Sunday.' [When they contacted the media] a reporter came over right away.]

As the day went on and Lisa's parents grew increasingly anxious, they made several more calls to the RCMP that day. A uniformed officer finally arrived around 7pm, but only to pick up a photo of Lisa.

The next morning, Lisa's parents tried to contact the officer for an update, but they were told that he was now away on five scheduled days off, and they should call back after that.[5]

In the July 4th, 2002 edition of the Nanaimo Daily News, RCMP was quoted as having said (the day before) "Nothing's come up that would suggest foul play, we just don't know where she is". By this point, Lisa's case had been "put on the national police computer", without no other known progress.[7]
