Deceased/Not Found UK - Lisa Dorrian, 25, Bangor Northern Ireland, 28 Feb 2005

New Posts

I have been reading about Lisa lately and this is a very complicated issue. We are dealing with Protestant/Catholic tensions, drugs, murder, assasinations, etc. It is widely believed that Lisa was killed by LVF - Loyalist Volunteer Force. Lisa had recently begun dating and hanging out with a new circle of friends and it the man she had become involved with was a drug dealer and LVF member. According to Lisa's family she had been doing drugs and partying to excess lately and was promising to quite. Her family seems to have some knowledge as to why they believe she went ot the party that night, received a call on her cell phone to meet someone, she left to do so and was taken to an abandoned house where she was severely beaten and eventually died. It was never quite clear to me what they wanted from her but it seems alluded to that they wanted info regarding her boyfriend and drugs. It is unclear if she was killed because of her religious affliations. LE believes she was hidden on land for several days or weeks and then taken out to sea sometime in 2005 and dumped. Several people have been arrested and subsequently released in regards to Lisa death.

PSNI draw blank in Lisa Dorrian search

Tuesday, 23 October 2012

Nothing of significance has been found during a search of farmland by police investigating the murder of Lisa Dorrian, the PSNI has confirmed.

Detectives investigating the disappearance of the 25-year-old hairdresser last week began searches of an area of land close to Comber.

Article from 2 months go explaining what they was looking for during the above article from 2012.

It is understood the PSNI was looking for a car which was used to transport the young woman's dead body after she went missing in February 2005.

The searches were carried out on farmland belonging to Seales, who was last week convicted of the murder of Comber man Philip Strickland.

Police searched the farm in Comber in October 2012 while Seales was in prison awaiting trial over the murder of 37-year-old Mr Strickland.

Officers used specialist equipment to survey an area on the edge of the village. It is understood they were looking for a vehicle that could have been used in the murder – but nothing was found.

Last year Seales told the Sunday World cops had been looking for Lisa Dorrian on his Comber farm but he was adamant that he was not connected to it.

“They spent a whole week digging up my farm searching for Lisa Dorrian but I have no idea why,” he told us during a jailhouse rant.

“It had absolutely nothing to do with me. The cops have it in for me though – that’s for sure.”

Bumping for Lisa and her family. I just read about her for the first time today. This article is from June 2015 and the most recent information I could find.

Life sentence prisoner Jimmy Seales, who says he was in possession of the car used to transport her remains, made the bombshell admission during a behind-bars interview with Sunday Life.



  • The millionaire farmer, who is serving a minimum 15-year jail term for the 2012 murder of Philip Strickland in Comber, further alleged that:



  • Cops unwittingly pulled the navy Vauxhall Vectra with Lisa’s body hidden in the boot from a hedge at Six Road Ends near Bangor
  • The car was then sold to Seales, who had no idea at the time it was used in her murder
  • Police later seized the vehicle from his scrapyard at Comber
  • Lisa’s body was put into a 40-gallon container, the lid of which was welded shut before it was hidden in land at Ballygowan
Seales — who has extensive criminal contacts throughout North Down — also said he had urged the drug dealers involved in Lisa’s murder to give up her body.

He said: “I told the guys involved in her murder at the time to give the family her body back, but they wouldn’t. They said to me, ‘it’s gone too far Jimmy, it’s gone too far’.”

Seales insisted that he was prepared to “stand over everything” that he told Sunday Life, including, if necessary, meeting with the PSNI and the Dorrian family.

Obviously, I have serious reservations about the accuracy of any information Seales offers up, but with or without him I hope that Lisa can one day be brought back to her loved ones.
 
I've read every tidbit I can find about this. I am quite sure the police know exactly what happened but ain't nobody gonna talk about this one. A whole lot of background noise. May she RIP.

@chimpface I was wondering if this is the guy who she allegedly ran off into the woods with when they allegedly saw flashing lights?

It is yes.

Detectives want to talk to him but he's not spoken since he made a statement 12 years ago according to this article below. He's previously been arrested on suspicion of her murder so I don't think it takes a great deal of imagination to suggest it's him and his dad they're talking about.

Lisa Dorrian Ballyhalbert search underway

A large-scale police search for murdered Bangor woman Lisa Dorrian is underway near the Co Down caravan park from which she vanished in 2005.

Around 20 specially trained PSNI officers arrived in Ballyhalbert on the Ards Peninsula this morning.

An operations trailer with computers and a mapping suite has also been set up in the car park and a buggy has been unloaded to allow officers to access marshy ground at a disused airfield behind Ballyhalbert caravan park.

Lisa disappeared 14 years ago after a night out socialising.

And today police, under the lead of Detective Superintendent Jason Murphy, are following a major line of inquiry that she was secretly buried by two men known to each other, only one of whom was known to Lisa.

Det Supt Murphy said: "I firmly believe that the answers to Lisa's disappearance lie with a small number of people. They may believe that they are bound by a common bond and have maintained their silence as a result. That silence will be a heavy and lifelong burden.

"We can help to unlock that burden, but we cannot do so whilst they remain silent.

"We have not given up on our pursuit of justice. We have not given up on our search for Lisa's body. Those who choose to withhold what they know should expect us to rigorously investigate them.”

Lisa, 25, was last reported seen at 5am on February 28, 2005 after attending a house party at a caravan park in Ballyhalbert . Her handbag and belongings were discovered inside the caravan.

Now police are back at the spot where Lisa is believed to have died.

Three former airfield buildings and the surrounding land is being studied today by a police search team.
