People shielding the killers of Lisa Dorrian should identify where her body was dumped, a senior churchman urged today.

People shielding the killers of Lisa Dorrian should identify where her body was dumped, a senior churchman urged today.

The Church of Ireland Bishop of Down and Dromore the Right Reverend Harold Miller said: "It is morally unacceptable to leave a family not knowing where their loved one is to be found."

Lisa, 25, went missing from a caravan site in Ballyhalbert on the Co Down coast last February.

Despite extensive searches no trace of the Bangor woman has been found.

Rev Miller urged people with information about Lisa's disappearance to visit a memorial website set up by the Dorrian family.

Rev Miller said: "At the beginning of a new year, the whole sense of her loss has been greatly heightened.

"We can only imagine how her family must be feeling.

"Thankfully, the new website about Lisa set up last month has had many responses and messages of goodwill, but, although helpful, we need more at this time.

"People in the community who have any details of her disappearance must come forward with the relevant information." The bishop said anyone who knows what happened to Lisa must consider the heartbreak caused by her disappearance.

Rev Miller said: "I appeal, in God's name, to everyone who can help in any way to do so now in a very focused way in these weeks leading up to the first anniversary of Lisa's disappearance.

"None of us would want her family and loved ones to face another year in a vacuum of uncertainty."

Detectives have arrested five suspects but they have all been released without charge.
