In February 2005, 25-year-old Lisa Dorrian attended a party at a caravan park in County Down, Northern Ireland. By the following morning, she had vanished without a trace.

More than two decades later, investigators believe Lisa was murdered, yet her body has never been found. Hundreds of searches, countless interviews, and years of relentless campaigning by her family have failed to answer the question that still haunts everyone who knew her: What happened to Lisa Dorrian? 

In this episode of Recipe for Murder, we examine the final days of Lisa's life, reconstruct the timeline leading up to her disappearance, explore the many twists in one of Northern Ireland's most enduring unsolved murder investigations, and discuss the unwavering determination of her family—especially her sister Joanne—to keep Lisa's name in the public eye while searching for the truth. We also look at the police theories, the years of silence surrounding the case, and the recent developments that have renewed hope that someone, somewhere, may finally come forward. 

Some cases fade with time. This one never has. And until Lisa is brought home, her story remains unfinished.
