Fresh PSNI Search For Lisa Dorrian Underway
A large-scale police search for the body of murdered Bangor woman Lisa Dorrian got underway at a County Down caravan park yesterday, Monday 01 April.
The 25-year-old was last seen alive while attending a party at Ballyhalbert Caravan Park in 2005. Detectives are now carrying out fresh searches of the area and a disused airfield behind it.
It comes after a fresh appeal for information on Lisa's disappearance was broadcast on the BBC Crimewatch programme last year.
Detective Superintendent Jason Murphy, who is leading the investigation, said: "The determination of the PSNI to bring those who killed Lisa Dorrian to justice is as strong today as it has ever been.
"The purpose of the search operation is two-fold: Firstly I want to recover Lisa's body and allow the Dorrian family to finally put Lisa to rest. And secondly I am looking for evidence relating to her disappearance."
