"We're hoping that keeping Lisa's name out there might somehow bring in some information. And I hope people listening to Lisa's Song will remember to keep themselves safe, to keep their family members safe if they can." ~ Joanne Young, Lisa's Mother
Lisa Marie Young, a friend of Allison's since high school, went missing in the early hours of Sunday, June 30, 2002. Lisa had been out socializing with friends the night before, a Saturday during the Canada Day long weekend. After leaving a club in downtown Nanaimo, B.C., Lisa had gone to a pair of house parties accompanied by a friend who was celebrating a birthday.
When Lisa wanted to get a bite of food at a local sandwich shop, another man in his 20s offered to drive Lisa in a burgundy Jaguar. But, instead of taking Lisa to get food, the young man drove Lisa to another house. On her cell-phone Lisa Marie made a call to her friends back at the earlier house party - expressing concern about what was happening, and about the driver. She has not been seen since.
The car, in which Lisa was last known to be, was owned by the driver's grandmother - a prominent business person in a nearby Vancouver Island community. This woman subsequently sold the Jaguar, and threatened to sue over talk that could implicate her grandson in the disappearance.
Police efforts have, so far, failed to find Lisa. Lisa's family continue to organize vigils and to conduct their own searches. It is now more than five years since Lisa vanished to her family and loved ones.
Alley has written a song for Lisa and her family. A special EP, "Lisa's Song + 6 Songs", was released in Fall 2003.
We are grateful to the supportive and generous souls at Seacoast Communications, CFAX 1070 and B107.3 All Hits Radio (in Victoria, B.C.) ~ together with the Pacific Music Industry Association ~ for financing this recording of "Lisa's Song". It was created "live-off-the-floor" and Engineered & Produced by Seacoast Sound Studio's Rick Erickson. Deep thanks to Brad Edwards and Mel Cooper & their team for such commitment to this cause.
