Detail
![[Adair is] being held in Saskatchewan awaiting trial on a charge of assaulting a police officer.](/w/File:P20020902e.png)
When Adair was being questioned in by Nanaimo RCMP at the Parksville RCMP detachment (July 23, 2002), Lisa's mother was brought in and asked to hug him.[1]
In the interrogation room there was a whiteboard with a photo of Lisa, and only three words written:[1][2]
- Rape
- Murder
- Accident
When Joanne directly asked Adair where Lisa was, he said "I can't... I'm sorry, I don't mean to disrespect your family...", and then trailed off.[3]
Member of Parliament Paul Manly later described this incident to the House of Commons in Ottawa, exclaiming: "This is outrageous! Who does that?"[2]
