we just don't know where she is.”

—Nanaimo RCMP Cst. Murray Conway


Summary

Lisa had been missing 10 days before RCMP conceded that she may have “met with foul play”.

chilling last text message 'Come get me, they won't let me leave.'

"Sure enough it's Lisa on her cell phone", said Hulley at the time. "She goes 'Dallas, I don't know what's going on. This guy won't bring me back. We're sitting in a driveway on Bowen Road and he won't bring me back.' She says, 'I'm bored. I'm getting pissed off." Police believe Young met with foul play and are still investigating her disappearance. I want to bash my knuckles against the cement, Hulley said in 2002."

Lisa's family and friends were immediately worried that something had happened to Lisa, and their reasons to worry compounded as each day passed with no visible RCMP investigation underway.

Lisa's final phone call was a message to her friend Dallas (who'd been waiting at the Cathers Lake houseparty for Lisa to return): "I don't know what's going on... We're sitting in a driveway on Bowen Road and this guy won't bring me back."[1][2]
