Family of missing woman offer £10k reward

The family of murdered Bangor woman Lisa Dorrian have offered a £10,000 reward for anyone who can provide information leading to the recovery of her body.

Lisa’s parents made the offer on Thursday, exactly two months after their 25-year-old daughter went missing following a party at a caravan site in Ballyhalbert, Co Down.

Three men have questioned about the killing but were later released while extensive air, land, and sea searches have failed to trace her whereabouts.

Last month police expressed concern after loyalist graffiti was daubed on walls suggesting a link between the missing Bangor woman and the Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF). However, police dismissed such speculation as unhelpful and that said that they were concentrating on more solid lines of inquiry.

Officers investigating the disappearance have appealed for anyone with information to contact Newtownards police station on 028 9065 0222 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
