The suffering a parent goes through after losing their kid is something we can only begin to fathom. Tragically, Jeff Buziak was forced to endure such an ordeal when his daughter, Lindsay Buziak, was murdered in February 2008. Real estate agent Lindsay was fatally stabbed by an unidentified assailant while showing a home to two clients in Saanich, British Columbia.
‘Dateline: The Dream House Mystery’ examines the horrible slaying and follows the investigation that tried to get to the bottom of the crime. Let’s investigate the crime’s specifics and learn where Jeff Buziak is right now, shall we?
Who Is Jeff Buziak?
A native of British Columbia, Jeff Buziak has a great relationship with his daughter, Lindsay. Although Lindsay was brought up in a loving and close-knit family, Jeff’s marriage began deteriorating, and he was already divorced from his wife in February 2008. Nevertheless, they remained cordial, and many who knew Jeff said that he got along well with most individuals in his vicinity. In addition, Jeff is renowned for going above and above to assist others and prioritising his family.
Jeff was quite proud of Lindsay’s accomplishments in the real estate industry and had no idea that a house viewing could result in her untimely death. When Lindsay initially received the phone about a couple requiring a house within two days, she felt the caller was faking an accent. In fact, she even spoke about her concerns with Jeff but was excited to make a massive sale. Hence, Jeff did not think much of it and remained naïve to the calamity that was going to befall his family.
On the evening of February 2, 2008, police officers found Lindsay lying in a pool of her own blood on the floor of the house she had planned to sell. The victim was initially noticed by her boyfriend, Jason Zailo, but there was no sign of the perpetrators. The murder was thoroughly investigated by the authorities, but in the months that followed, very little to no progress was made in the case. For one thing, there were no obvious suspects at the crime scene, and Lindsay’s loved ones insisted that she had no enemies in the public eye.
However, despite the fact that the police scoured the neighbourhood around the crime scene and even drew sketches of two potential suspects, it was impossible to find the offenders. Moreover, while the original inquiry looked at Jason Zailo as a possible suspect, the authorities immediately ruled him out and absolved him of all accusations.
Where Is Jeff Buziak Now?
When years began passing without any real headway on the investigation, Lindsay’s father, Jeff Buziak, started criticising the Saanich police department. Hence, in order to get to the truth, he launched a blog about Lindsay’s death and requested the public to come forward with any information they might have. It’s interesting to note that in 2017, a user who chose to remain anonymous posted a disturbing confession on the blog, claiming, “I killed Lindsey and stupid cops will never prove it so you all got nothing.” Jeff immediately singled out this post as a possible lead and implored law enforcement officers to pursue it.
Besides, once Jeff learnt how one of Lindsay’s friends recovered the garment worn by the woman who last saw Lindsay alive, he accepted it as an essential piece of evidence and hoped that further tests would lead to his daughter’s killer. With all avenues closed, Jeff has been spreading the word about Lindsay’s disappearance through his blog as well as other TV shows and documentaries. He even made an appearance on a 2019 episode of “Dr. Phil,” hoping for any fresh information or hints that might point to a suspect.
On the other hand, in 2022, Jeff Buziak recruited the Zonta Research Group of Vancouver, a private investigation agency, to check into the subject. Besides, readers will be startled to find that Jason Zailo’s mother launched a defamation case against Jeff, saying that the statements he posted on his website impacted her business. Still, with the courts yet to pass judgment on the lawsuit, Jeff currently resides in Calgary, Alberta, and organizes a “murder day” walk every February in Lindsay’s remembrance.
