Her body has never been recovered.

A 49-year-old man and 34-year-old woman were arrested on Friday on suspicion of murder.

Police have been granted an additional 12 hours to question them.

A large scale search was launched earlier this week at the caravan park where Lisa was last seen, as well as a disused airfield behind it.

Detective Superintendent Jason Murphy, who is leading the investigation, insisted the PSNI is still focused on bringing those who killed Lisa to justice.

He said: "Fourteen years have now passed, but our resolve has not diminished.

"It is important that we bring the Dorrian family the answers that any grieving family deserves."
