A Detective investigating the murder of Lisa Dorrian has today, 21 March, made a renewed appeal for information on BBC Crimewatch.

The appeal comes 20 years after the 25 year old’s disappearance on Sunday 27 February 2005, after attending a party in Ballyhalbert Caravan Park.

Detective Chief Inspector Kerrie Foreman said: “We are appealing again today, for people to come forward and tell us anything they remember about the weekend Lisa went missing, no matter how insignificant.

“We believe there are people watching today who know how Lisa’s life ended and we believe those answers are out there, within the community.”

Joanne Dorrian, who also appeared on the Crimewatch episode, said: “We really looked up to Lisa, she was my idol. She was just a really beautiful person to be around and we have so many great memories. We’ve campaigned now for 20 years and this has been all-consuming for our family.

“There are people out there who could come forward and tell us what happened. This is not impossible to solve and Lisa is not impossible to find.

“Just think about Lisa, come forward and tell us where she is.”
