On 28 February 2005, Lisa Dorrian, a 25‑year‑old Northern Irish woman, disappeared after the last confirmed sighting of her in the early hours of that morning. Despite nearly a dozen suspects being arrested and questioned, along with hundreds of potential witnesses interviewed and thousands of lines of inquiry examined, no one has ever been charged in connection with her disappearance. More than 400 land, sea, and air searches have been carried out, including several potential crime scenes examined by forensic teams, but no trace of Dorrian has been found and police inquiries have continued to the present day. She is officially considered missing, presumed dead, and the authorities believe she was murdered soon after she was last seen alive.
