Police in the North of Ireland have issued a renewed appeal for information on the 20th anniversary of Lisa Dorrian's murder.
Police in the North of Ireland have issued a renewed appeal for information on the 20th anniversary of Lisa Dorrian's murder.
The 25-year-old went missing after attending a party at a caravan site in Ballyhalbert, County Down on February 29th 2005.
It is believed she was murdered that night or the following morning.
AdvertisementLisa's body has never been found, despite extensive investigations and searches.
The PSNI has released CCTV footage and still photos which is the last known footage of Lisa in the days before her disappearance.
Officers are urging anyone who can help them bring the murderer to justice to speak up.
âDespite hundreds of extensive search operations and thousands of lines of enquiries completed, Lisaâs body has not been found, and those responsible for her murder have not yet been held to account,â Detective Chief Inspector Kerrie Foreman from the Police Serviceâs Major Investigation Team said.
âTwenty years have now passed - thatâs 20 long years of unimaginable torment for a loving family.
âYet, despite their pain, theyâve never given up their search for answers and, likewise, our determination has remained steadfast.
âWeâre releasing CCTV footage, along with still images - this is the last known footage of Lisa in the run-up to her disappearance.â
Detective Chief Inspector Foreman said her hope is to jog memories and to encourage anyone with information to speak up.
âThose who have information, but who are reluctant or frightened to come forward, must surely have a troubled conscience,â she said.
âPlease be assured that information can be passed, with 100% anonymity, to the independent charity Crimestoppers.
âThe charity is offering a reward of up to ÂŁ20,000 for information given directly to them that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Lisaâs murder or, noteworthy, for information that results in the recovery of her body.
âWith Crimestoppers, calls are never recorded, thereâs no caller line display or 1471 facility, and computer IP addresses can never be traced.â
Ms Dorrianâs family also released a statement, remembering their sister and daughter on the 20th anniversary of her murder.
â28th February marks 20 years since Lisa was murdered and disappeared,â the statement read.
â20 years ago, we lost our beautiful sister and daughter but, even more importantly, Lisa lost her life at the hands of people she knew and trusted.
âEvery day without Lisa is hard, but 20 years has been a lifetime of pain for us.â
The family described Lisa as a vibrant person and said she was âdenied all of her hopes and dreamsâ.
They added that Ms Dorrianâs mother passed away without any closure around the murder of her daughter.
âSince Lisa was murdered we have had family celebrations, birthdays, births and deaths and have felt the loss of Lisa at every single one,â the statement said.
âWe are grateful to have an active PSNI investigation with a team intent on getting justice for Lisa.
âWe hope to see Lisa's murderers in court one day.
âTwenty years of secrecy could end with a phone call, a letter, a message.â
The family concluded with: âPlease tell us where Lisa isâ.
