The Victoria police say the brown van tip was their best lead when Michael Dunahee was taken. But over the years, questions have been raised about the reliability of the child witness who first reports seeing the brown van. Tim Barron also witnessed a brown van that day. He told police what he saw and has been interviewed by them many times down the years. But this is the first time he has shared his story publicly. The brown van tip is complicated. Vehicle identification has come a long way since 1991. So this episode is also informed by two vehicle identification experts.

Note: Since publishing the episode, I have now spoken with the owner of the black van that Tim Barron knew. That vehicle was a 1963 Volkswagen. It was not lowered. And to be clear, his van was not in the vicinity that day. I've updated the podcast to reflect this new information.

'The ultimate act of control. I killed you, but nobody knows where you are' -Tad Dibiase, Author of No Body Homicide Cases.

No body, no crime. Right now, on Vancouver Island, I know of several missing person cases which I am reasonably certain are homicides. But in the absence of a body, I appreciate that it is challenging for police to lay charges. But it's not impossible.

Thomas A. (Tad) Dibiase has been studying consulting and writing about no-body murder cases for close to 20 years. He got started as a prosecutor in the US Attorney's Office in DC. He is the author of No-Body Homicide Cases:   A Practical Guide to Investigating, Prosecuting and Winning Cases When the Victim is Missing. In this episode, I speak with Tad about the challenges of finding justice when you can't find a body, and I ask him to reflect on Lisa Marie Young's case.

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. 🙏
