Where is Lisa Marie? After more than a decade, a family still doesn’t know.
Walk to remember Lisa Marie Young Nanaimo – The family of missing Lisa Marie Young invites everyone to join them in a walk June 30 to remember the missing young woman. Lisa went missing from Nanaimo in the early morning hours of June 30, 2002. After a night out at a local club Lisa and her friends accepted a ride from someone they had just met in the parking lot of the club. The group left one party together and went to another party in the Cathers Lake area. At the second party Lisa said she was hungry and the man who drove the friends to the party offered to take her to a nearby sandwich restaurant. Lisa accepted the ride and was never seen again by friends and family. She did, however, manage to send a text message from her cell phone at about 4:30 a.m. to one of her friends. In the message to her friend she expressed concern about her situation. The last signals from Lisa’s cell phone
were traced to the Departure Bay area of Nanaimo. The driver of the car was found and questioned, but the case remains unsolved. Each year the Young family does something to honour the memory of Lisa and to keep her in the minds and hearts of people. “We do these walks to remember Lisa and also for other people who have missing or murdered loved ones,” said Joanne Young, mother of Lisa. The family has invited members of the RCMP and Nanaimo City Council to join in the walk. She hopes representatives from Aboriginal organizations will also take part in the walk. The walk to remember Lisa Marie Young will begin at 11 a.m. at Maffao Sutton Park on the Nanaimo waterfront. Walkers will head toward the ferry terminal and Nanaimo Yacht Club before returning for a candlelight vigil starting at noon.
