Lisa Marie Young was 21 when she disappeared after a night out in Nanaimo, British Columbia. On the night of June 29, 2002, she left her parents’ home to celebrate a friend’s birthday and went to a nightclub. After the club closed in the early hours of June 30, she and friends accepted a ride from a man identified as Christopher William Adair in a red Jaguar. The group attended two parties in the Cathers Lake area; Lisa left with Adair when he offered to drive her to get food, telling friends she would find her own way back.

Around 4:30 a.m. Her phone’s last signal was traced to the Departure Bay area. The RCMP now investigate her disappearance as a homicide, but no charges have been laid and her body has never been found. Christopher Adair is identified as a person of interest and was questioned; he has not been charged. Hundreds of witnesses have been interviewed and searches including ground-penetrating radar have not located remains.

Lisa was a Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation woman preparing to move into her own apartment and start a new job. If anyone has information about Lisa’s movements that night or about the red Jaguar and the parties in the Cathers Lake and Departure Bay areas, please come forward.
