[Music] Vancouver Island known for breathtaking scenery astonishing postcard beauty and
00:00:20
amazing wildlife heaven on earth but on certain parts of the island beneath the beauty some will tell you
00:00:29
there lies a dark underbelly and in the early hours of the morning June 30th 2002 that underbelly came to the surface
00:00:45
[Music] lisa-marie Jung was born on the fifth of May 1981 she lived in the non a city on
00:01:19
Vancouver Island in British Columbia Canada she lived with her parents Don and Joanne young and her two younger
00:01:26
brothers [Music] lisa was so sweet and gentle very loving and protective of her younger brothers
00:01:37
if anybody ever had a problem Lisa would always be there for them she was a good listener a beautiful and
00:01:45
vibrant person she did have a fiery side as well though Lisa would never argue for the sake of arguing but she always
00:01:55
stood up for what she believed in Lisa enjoyed hanging out with friends dancing waterskiing playing basketball and
00:02:04
rollerblading as athletic as she was she also enjoyed music and painting on Saturday the 29th of June 2002 Lisa who
00:02:15
was 21 at the time was at home she lived in an apartment with a roommate next door to her parents but she was moving
00:02:23
out into a new apartment the next day Sunday Lisa was looking forward to the future not only was she moving to a new
00:02:31
place but she was also starting a new job later that week at a call center she had plans to go back to school - with
00:02:39
the aim to become a TV sports announcer but first it was time to party it was the Canada Day long weekend and one of
00:02:48
Lisa's friends was also celebrating his birthday his name is Dallas Holley Lisa left a pretty light it was 11 p.m. that
00:02:58
said I died not when she left the parents apartment and mentioned she was heading in her parents were worried
00:03:04
saying it was too late especially since she was moving the next day but Lisa told them not to worry she would be fine
00:03:14
Lisa made her way to the jungle night club on Skinner Street in Deonte on Nanaimo it's now called Club 241 she
00:03:23
arrived there just before me Belem Lisa actually used to work in the club police
00:03:30
say it wasn't a place they readily associated with trouble being a long weekend downtown was a happening place
00:03:37
there were people he had everywhere having a good time there were no problems inside the club
00:03:42
Lisa was just having fun with her friends Lisa left the club about 2:00 a.m. she walked out into the parking lot
00:03:50
with her friend Dallas Holly and another male friend they were hanging around outside talking
00:03:56
and laughing when one of Lisa's friends struck up a conversation with another male person also hanging out in the
00:04:03
parking lot no one in the group knew who this male person was but he seemed friendly enough
00:04:09
and they were most impressed with his car which was an older model red Jaguar Lisa Dallas into their other friend
00:04:19
mentioned they wanted to go to a house party the male they just met in the red Jaguar
00:04:24
offered to draw --them and they accepted the lift they headed to the house party
00:04:29
where they stayed for about an hour before deciding they wanted to move on to another house party in the covers
00:04:34
lake area the male in the red Jaguar again offered to drive them Lisa and their friends accepted shortly after
00:04:43
arriving at the second house party Lisa mentioned she was hungry and wanted something to eat
00:04:48
the male in the red Jaguar overheard the conversation and offered the drive Lisa
00:04:53
to get some food police say accepted his offer Lisa's friends remained at the party the reason
00:05:01
for this happening was that Lisa was a vegetarian her friends were not and so they were happy to eat the food that was
00:05:08
at the party but Lisa couldn't eat what was there and wanted to go and get a vegetarian meal so she jumped in the red
00:05:15
Jaguar alone with the male driver about 4:30 a.m. Lisa made a call to her friend
00:05:23
Dallas who was still at the party Lisa said the male in the red Jaguar had taken her to a house and she was
00:05:30
uncomfortable with the situation she didn't like the house or who was there and she wasn't being allowed to leave
00:05:38
[Music] that was the last her friends heard from her later that day Sunday the 30th of June
00:05:47
Don and Joann was supposed to be helping Lisa move but they hadn't heard from her
00:05:52
and they were starting to worry they tried calling her phone several times but it just kept ringing here they
00:06:00
checked with Lisa's roommate and started to panic when she told them leasing there became home there was no sign of
00:06:06
her Joann and Don walked inside Lisa's apartment and found her personal phone book they called every single number in
00:06:14
slider but nobody had seen or heard from Lisa since the night before Joann and Don immediately knew something was wrong
00:06:23
this was completely out of character Lisa would always answer her phone or at least call to let them know where she
00:06:30
was especially since she had enlisted their help to move that day she wouldn't just take off without telling anyone
00:06:38
Joann and Don called the police the officer who took the call wasn't overly helpful she's only been missing for a
00:06:46
short time you'll have to call back in 48 hours jo-ann and Don weren't waiting they decided to take matters into their
00:06:57
own hands calling friends and family members and organizing their own search for Lisa they felt as though they
00:07:05
couldn't just sit there they had to do something and it worked in a way because the police did end up sending someone
00:07:11
around that night to take a report an officer from the local Royal Canadian Mounted Police attended the officer
00:07:19
asked some questions and took a photo of Lisa to add to the report but still Joann and Dawn weren't satisfied they
00:07:27
got the impression from the officer who attended that he wasn't that interested the RCMP that came to see us that Sunday
00:07:34
night of the 1st of July has said ok well keep in touch I'll be back to work in four days which would be like a
00:07:42
Friday or something he had said and I was horrified you know I thought like what she's missing now I want people out
00:07:51
there now looking for my daughter so they decided to contact the local media they were interested a reporter arrived
00:08:01
straightaway and that the next day Lisa's disappearance made the news a few days later Joann and Don were told
00:08:08
the Serious Crime Unit had taken over the case this was both good and bad news at least now Lisa's disappearance was
00:08:15
being taken seriously but the fact the Serious Crime Unit was in charge of the investigation wasn't encouraging so the
00:08:26
big question is who was the man in the red Jaguar well he was actually identified Christopher Adair is his name
00:08:36
he was born in 1975 making him 27 the night Lisa disappeared Chris had been in some trouble with the law
00:08:45
he had charges for fraud assault traffic matters and for breaching court orders police brought crusing for questioning
00:08:54
the month after Lisa's disappearance July 2002 while he was at the station Joanne young Lisa's mother says she was
00:09:03
brought in as well to confront Chris this is not confirmed by the police but Joanne says it happened she was taken
00:09:12
into the interrogation room where Chris was being questioned there was a large photo of Lisa on the whiteboard next to
00:09:19
the photo were three words rape murder and accident Joanne asks Chris the tillow where Lisa was Chris replied I
00:09:30
can't there was a pause before he continued with I'm sorry I don't mean to disrespect your family Chris then
00:09:40
trailed off Joanne says the meeting was only brief and that she was surprised when she saw Chris he didn't look or
00:09:49
seem like a monster just the normal guy whatever account Chris gave to police in
00:09:55
that interview room is unknown what he said happened when he was with Lisa has never been made public but whatever his
00:10:05
story was it was good enough for him to be released without charge an examination of his vehicle but police
00:10:12
failed to uncover any evidence suggesting foul play however there were whispers around town that the red Jaguar
00:10:21
had been steam-cleaned before the police got anywhere near it Chris has always remained a person of interest even years
00:10:29
later in media reports police have made appeals to the public that anyone who may have seen the red Jaguar that not in
00:10:36
a suspicious area or idling for an extended period of time to immediately come forward I should clarify the red
00:10:45
Jaguar wasn't Chris's vehicle that belonged to his grandmother Geraldine Adair also known as Gerry
00:10:53
Gerry was a powerful and prominent realtor and a businesswoman in the town of Qualicum Beach also located on
00:11:01
Vancouver Island less than an hour's drive away from nanano she promoted and sponsored many organizations local
00:11:10
groups and charities there are some reports that suggest that Gerry told the police her grandson Chris had nothing to
00:11:18
do with Lisa's disappearance and if they kept harassing him she would take legal
00:11:23
action Gerry sold her red Jaguar after Chris was declared a person of interest but it had already been examined by
00:11:31
police at that stage Don and Joann Young had organized posters to go up appealing for anyone
00:11:38
with information about Lisa to come forward after learning that police had identified the driver of the red Jaguar
00:11:45
they updated the posters naming Chris Adair when the police learned that the posters had been updated with Chris's
00:11:54
name they urged the Youngs to reconsider the Youngs didn't reconsider and went ahead with the posters
00:12:02
no one refused to display them the police are still treating Lisa as a missing person they say the
00:12:10
investigation is ongoing they suspect she met with foul play but they refused to make further comment it does seem odd
00:12:19
that so much information is known about Lisa's last movements they know who she left the party with and they know she
00:12:26
was taken to a house if you've listened to episode 14 the case on Helen Munnings
00:12:32
there was a similar story there police know who she was with before she disappeared but there is no trace of her
00:12:39
they can't prove exactly what happened the last court appearance Chris Adair made in British Columbia was on the 11th
00:12:48
of October 2002 he was charged with assaulting a peace officer in Yorkton in the province of
00:12:57
Saskatchewan over 1,000 miles away that assault occurred in August 2002 two months after Lisa disappeared for
00:13:09
whatever reason though he appeared in Nanaimo Court in relation to the charge on the 11th of October he may have left
00:13:16
the Yorkton before justice caught up with him there and returned to Nanaimo where he was picked up for it
00:13:22
whatever the reason that is the end of his criminal record and court appearances in British Columbia because
00:13:28
Kris packed up and moved away so whose house did Chris take the Lisa to nothing has ever been officially released but if
00:13:40
you do enough searching on this case you will come across this line everyone knows what happened it is believed among
00:13:49
many that when he offered Lisa a ride to get food Chris took her to a house only
00:13:54
ten minutes away from the party they were at and as you've already heard Lisa expressed discomfort with what was
00:14:02
happening and where she was taken to what happened once Lisa and Chris reached this location is said to involve
00:14:10
men who are notorious around then an amo area men with extensive criminal associations and there are persistent
00:14:19
rumors of links to crime gangs but it wasn't just those men said to be responsible others are said to be
00:14:27
involved with what happened to Lisa including a woman referred to as the clean up girl
00:14:35
[Music] a bit of background on Nanaimo at the time of Elise's disappearance it is
00:14:48
reported that there was a thriving drug trade that existed there as Nanaimo is a
00:14:55
central location on Vancouver Island with access along highway corridors large amounts of drugs were said to be
00:15:01
moved through there at the time the Hells Angels were very prominent and still do have a presence there although
00:15:08
the authorities of crackdown on seizing their Clubhouse under the civil forfeiture act claiming that it could be
00:15:15
used for criminal activity in the future that seizure is actually still before the courts the Hells Angels are fighting
00:15:24
it along with the Hells Angels and has said that there was an Asian triad presence in Nanaimo as well as other
00:15:31
crime figures it's not publicly known whether or not police ever formally searched the house to which Lisa Marie
00:15:38
Yuen was taken by Kris Adair in the early morning hours of the 30th of June 2002 there are other properties said to
00:15:46
be connected with the case as well it's not publicly known if they were searched
00:15:50
either all the police will say is it's an open case and if they suspect foul play
00:15:56
as for what Chris took Lisa to the house and what happened after they reached this location we don't know but clearly
00:16:06
there are people that do and that's where the trail ends for Lisa's case when you google the case you'll get some
00:16:15
newspaper articles and some basic facts but if you dig a little deeper you'll get taken down a rabbit hole to some
00:16:24
very dark places it's hard to talk about anonymous internet comments on the show
00:16:30
there's just no way to verify what is being said and most the pretty vague and aren't that clear anyway so I won't
00:16:38
mention what they are but it looks to be a case where there are people with the story to tell we just need them to come
00:16:46
forward and tell it [Music] unfortunately the Youngs have been victims of numerous prank callers on one
00:16:57
call the person said on moving Lisa's body right now the police managed to trace the call but all they did was tell
00:17:05
the caller not to ring again Joanne young still does everything she can to keep Lisa's memory alive she
00:17:13
hands out pamphlets and still puts up posters although some businesses are no longer is happy to put them up grumbling
00:17:20
about the clutter they create on their windows the Youngs have organized a vigil and candlelight ceremony each year
00:17:28
since Lisa's disappearance Joanne believes there is more than one person who knows what happened to Lisa
00:17:33
and she prays that one of those people will come forward to finally give them closure until then she's doing
00:17:41
everything she can to make sure no one forgets Alison crow was a friend of Lisa's Alison is a musician and she
00:17:51
wrote a song called that Lisa's song it is beautiful and touching and is played at the vigils held for Lisa Lisa's song
00:18:02
