Police renew appeal for information to find Lisa Dorrian on BBC Crimewatch
Police have made a renewed appeal for information around the murder and disappearance of Co Down woman Lisa Dorrian on BBC Crimewatch.
The 25-year-old from Bangor vanished on February 27 2005 after attending a party at Ballyhalbert Caravan Park.
Despite extensive searches in multiple locations and campaigning by her family, Ms Dorrian's body has never been found.
Detective Chief Inspector Kerrie Foreman said police believe there are people out there who know what happened to Ms Dorrian.
'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,' she said.
'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.'
Ms Dorrian's sister Joanne also appeared on the Crimewatch episode.
She urged anyone with information come forward.
'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,' she said.
A Detective investigating the murder of Lisa Dorrian has today, 21 March, made a renewed appeal for information on BBC Crimewatch.
This comes 20 years after the 25 year old's disappearance on Sunday 27 February 2005.
