Show notes

A family member of Christopher Adair reaches out to set the record straight. But their story opens up another possibility: could the key to Lisa Marie Young’s disappearance lie in the backwoods around Coombs? Then, geographic profiler Douglas MacGregor explains how an offender’s behaviour and familiarity with the territory might help narrow the search for Lisa more than two decades later.


Note: The statements and allegations about Christopher Adair discussed in this episode are unproven and have not been tested in court. Christopher Adair has not been charged in connection with the disappearance of Lisa Marie Young, and no finding of legal responsibility has been made against him in relation to her disappearance. Any theories, opinions or inferences expressed are attributed to their respective sources and should not be understood as findings of fact. Lisa Marie Young’s disappearance remains unresolved.
