Seven years without justice in Buziak case Daniel Palmer News staff
In the seven years since Jeff Buziak’s daughter was brutally stabbed to death, not a month passes without an email or phone call to remind the 60-year-old father that those who plotted her murder haven’t yet paid for their crime. Buziak tirelessly pursues those leads – even arranging meetings with anonymous tipsters in the hope of discovering some nugget of new information – and forwards the information to the Saanich Police Department, while his belief in the justice system continues to unravel. “I’ve met gangsters in garages at midnight and phoned guys up and emailed, but what good does that do you,” says Buziak, staring intently through circular, bronze-coloured frames at a busy Saanich café. “They’re not going to say,
‘Yeah sorry, we didn’t mean to do it.’” Lindsay was 24 when she was stabbed to death on Feb. 2, 2008 while showing an unoccupied Gordon Head home to a welldressed couple. Despite a continuing investigation, Saanich Police have not publicly identified a suspect in Lindsay’s murder and no arrests have been made. As the anniversary date approaches each year, it only amplifies the rage felt by her father. “My daughter was executed,” says Buziak, who lives in Calgary and returns to Saanich each February for a 17-kilometre walk in Lindsay’s memory. “I want to kill somebody. But then I think, ‘No. I’ll just be doing the same thing they did.” “They” remain elusive, at least to those observing the complicated case without the full picture. PLEASE SEE: Murder, Page A3

Jeff Buziak displays one of the signs he distributes each year during an annual walk through Saanich in memory of his daughter Lindsay, who was murdered in February 2008. Buziak is struggling to retain his faith in the justice system as the case marks its seventh anniversay on Monday. Despite no arrests, Saanich Police say the investigation remains active.
