It's been almost five years since the Nanaimo RCMP first sat down with me to discuss Lisa Marie Young's disappearance. Now, there's a new lead on the case. In this episode, I get an update from outgoing lead Corporal Markus Muntener and introduce you to the new investigative lead on the case, RCMP Constable Hayley Pinfold.

If you have information about Lisa's disappearance, it is never too late to do the next right thing. Call the RCMP at 250-754-2345.

Please note. This episode begins with tape recorded outside at the tree planting for Lisa Marie Young. It was a windy day, and the audio isn't great. So I've kept it brief, including only short clips from Lisa's grandpa Moses Martin and Nanaimo Mayor Leonard Krog.

In this episode, you'll hear two never-before-published interviews. One is with the late Dallas Hulley and the other is with Lisa's mother, the late Joanne Young. I learn about these recordings when I scratch an itch I've had for a while now. It's been reported that Lisa sent Dallas a text message with the words 'Come Get Me. They won't let me leave.' I've come to believe it's most likely that the text never happened.

Apologies. These two phone recordings are of poor audio quality. But given that both of the subjects are now deceased, I believe it is important to air the tape.

Huge thanks to reporter Verity Stevenson. Verity recorded the interviews with Joanne and Dallas and had the good sense to hang on to them for almost a decade. More than that, Verity had the generous spirit and kind heart to share them with me and with you. 🙏

34 years ago, police in Canada reached out to the FBI's famed behavioural analysis unit for help on Michael Dunahee's abduction. 9 Canadian detectives flew to Quantico on a B.C. government jet. The resulting profile helped inform the investigation. But it has never been fully released to the public. In this update to 'Missing Michael, newly acquired police notes on the profile are discussed by two high-profile FBI analysts. Jim Clemente and Kathy Canning-Mello host a podcast called 'Real Crime Profile' by Wondery-and the interview will also air on their show.

Boring bureaucrat. That’s the image of Ian Indridson that some may have seen in his Missing Person poster. He’s a senior government spokesperson. A happily married man whose colleagues describe him as a creature of habit. In this episode, we begin peeling back the layers to uncover some conflicting aspects of Ian Indridson's personality that may be clues to what happened to him and why.
