Lisa Marie Young | Missing | Nanaimo
« on: November 21, 2007, 05:29:02 PM »
Lisa Marie Young has been missing since June 30, 2002, from Nanaimo, BC. She is described as a 21 year old female, 5'4"tall, and 115 lbs. She has long dark brown hair and brown eyes. LSW Black skirt, black top, high black boots and a silver hoop necklace. She has a tattoo of a band of flowers with a heart in the middle on her right arm. Lisa was last seen in the Jingle Pot area of Nanaimo.

That evening, she had been out at a club in downtown Nanaimo, with friends, for a birthday party. After the club, Lisa went with a friend, to a couple of house parties, where she met a man. She wanted to get something to eat at a local sandwich shop, where the man said he would take her. A friend received a call from Lisa shortly thereafter, saying that the guy didn't take her to get something to eat, but rather, to another house party, where she didn't feel comfortable. No one has seen/heard from her since.

The vehicle the man was driving (a burgundy? jaguar) was registered to his Grandmother, who has since sold the vehicle and vehemently denies any involvement by her Grandson.

The case is still open

I noticed this below for red sports car as well... Also i checked and Kelly Reilly was last seen getting into a yellow sports car with two unknown males.
~kindheart

Around this time a witness observed a female matching Roberta FERGUSON?S description speaking to a male inside a red sports car at the intersection of Vedder Mountain Rd., and Cultus Lake Rd. The witness described the man in the car as average height, with blond or light brown hair and a prominent jaw.

I came to this topic to look at the information for Lisa Marie Young which in turn led me to the info on Roberta Ferguson due to the fact that a red sports car was mentioned. I wonder if the other case where you thought that "Vedder" might be the key is the case of Joanne Pederson who was last seen in a phone booth near the corner of Vedder Rd and Watson Rd in the Vedder crossing area of Chilliwack, BC. Is it just me or does anyone see a similarity in appearance between Lisa Marie Young and Roberta Ferguson? The shocking thing to me about all of this is that as I was searching thru this info I realized that each of these three victims share a common middle name "Marie". Is that weird or what?

I also just found another one where Chilliwack police received a report of unidentified skelatal remains on Dec. 6,2007 .These on a logging road in the Vedder Ridge area of Vedder mountain. No other info on whether they have ever been identified. Once you start looking it seems like a lot for this area.

Many serial offenders DO have a certain 'look' they prefer. Two striking examples of this are Ted Bundy and David Berkowitz (Son of Sam).

Berkie Boy, may not have been the only killer in the Son of Sam cases. He was hooked up with the Carr Family From Yonkers, who were into Satanic Rituals, and Death. Wheat Carr, the only female member, is said to have killed, also. She later married a COP from the NYCPD.

Book: The Ultimate Evil by Maury Terry.By the end of the book 67 people had died.The Cult was then called the Process.

I just want to include this link I stumbled upon on Lisa Marie. 
I found the comments interesting - so to speak! I echo these comments!

God; I wish there was some conscience in this case.  It seems so predictable that so many keep their mouths shut.  Will our young people and young adults ever realize how evil it is out there in night clubs, at party houses and party sites.  When you get among crowds, especially drinking crowds - nobody cares about others, just themselves.  When you get into a situation in these party atmospheres, you have "no friends".  Once danger rares it's head, your so-called friends turn into cowardly deaf mutes.  My heart goes out to Lisa Marie's family.

Someone told 'A' channel that the body in found in Nanimo could be related to this case. CBC made no mention of the case.

Human remains found in Nanaimo

NANAIMO - A cold case in Nanaimo may be heating up again.
A couple looking at a piece of rural property for sale in the Rock City area made a grim discovery today when they stumbled upon human remains.

Now, police are considering whether those remains could solve a seven-year-old mystery.

Lisa Marie Young went missing in June of 2002 and investigators have long believed she met with foul play after attending a late-night party in the Nanaimo area.

Police confirm they are looking at all missing person cases including the disappearance of Lisa Young in connection with the discovery.

There was a large police presence at arrowsmith Road - a wooded area where police say the gruesome discovery was made.

Beyond the police tape, through dense brush, you could just make out investigators as they combed through the scene. 

The property where the human remains were found is for sale.

Lisa Marie Young disappeared the night of June 30th, 2002.  Police have never found a body or charged anyone in connection with her disappearance.

People who live in the area say a house nearby used to be problematic with loud parties into the early morning.  They were shocked with the news.

There is a pretty good case for another suspect in Roberta's murder.

This same description keeps popping up in other cases where Terry Arnold is the prime suspect.

what an awesome write-up solvy.... I do hope this downtown neighborhood will keep talking and backing the parents.  Who knows!  ..maybe one of these days, somebody will walk into one of these businesses and make the "right remark" or give the "right lead" to find this dear girl.  Maybe somebody noticed something back then ...not even realizing it is important... every little detail about Lisa Marie's night out is important.  ...and who would not notice this car wherever it drove to, or stopped at.  Lisa's story has to be kept circulating; it's not over until it's over.

Missing person: Lisa Marie Young

File # 2002-22236

2011-02-24 11:41 PST

Nanaimo RCMP are asking the public for their continued assistance in solving the disappearance of Lisa Marie Young.

For the past 9 years Nanaimo RCMP have continued to revisit this file in the hope that one day her disappearance will be solved. A Crime Stoppers re-enactment of her last know movements was produced by Shaw TV in 2008. Officers assigned to the case have maintained contact with her family annually and just last year a walking vigil attended by many was held in downtown Nanaimo marking her disappearance.

Lisa Marie Young was last seen at approximately 3 AM on the evening of June 30th 2002 leaving a house party in the Cathers Lake area of Nanaimo. She left the party in the company of a male who was driving an older model red Jaguar. At 4:30 AM she phoned one of her friends .That was the last known contact anyone has had with her.

The vehicle and the male who she left the party with have been identified by police. The driver, like many others involved in this file, is simply a person of interest. ”Through the years we have received hundreds of tips on the car, on the male driver and her whereabouts on the evening of June 30th. Many of those tips were helpful in our investigation. Now we want to hear from those persons who, for whatever reason, have not contacted us. Someone knows what happened to her and the time to call is now ,” said Constable Gary O’Brien, media spokesperson for the Nanaimo RCMP .

If you have any information on what happened to Lisa Marie Young, please contact the Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS). You can also go online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com and submit your tip and watch the Crime Stoppers re-enactment of her disappearance.

Police continue working 2002 Lisa Marie Young case

February 24, 2011 3:08 PM

Nanaimo RCMP are again asking the public for help to solve the disappearance of Lisa Marie Young.

Lisa Marie Young was last seen at about 3 a.m. on June 30, 2002, leaving a house party in Nanaimo's Cathers Lake area with a man who drove an older model red Jaguar.

The last known contact anyone had with her was when she phoned one of her friends at 4:30 a.m.

Mountieshave identified the car and the man Young left the party with although the driver, like many others involved in this file, is simply a person of interest, police say.

A Crime Stoppers re-enactment of Young's last known movements was produced by Shaw TV in 2008, while a walking vigil, which drew a large attendance, was held in downtown Nanaimo in 2010 to commemorate her disappearance.

Nanaimo RCMP have worked the case since 2002, hoping to one day solve her disappearance and officers assigned to the case maintain contact with Young's family.

"Through the years we have received hundreds of tips on the car, on the male driver and her whereabouts on the evening of June 30th. Many of those tips were helpful in our investigation. Now we want to hear from those persons who, for whatever reason, have not contacted us," said Const. Gary O'Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman. "Someone knows what happened to her and the time to call is now."

Anyone with information about what happened to Young, is asked to contact  Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or  online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com and submit tips and watch the Crime Stoppers re-enactment of her disappearance.

This was posted on a UC thread for women missing from daily life. I thought it would be good to add here too.
