Jeff Buziak is tired of playing the waiting game.
The 65-year-old father of Lindsay Buziak, a realtor who was killed while showing a house in Gordon Head on Feb. 2, 2008, said he heard the same thing from Saanich Police that heBԪַs heard for 11 years.
BԪַIBԪַm given the same lines IBԪַve heard every year for 11 years, but from different officers,BԪַ Buziak said. BԪַIBԪַm told, BԪַWhy donBԪַt you just let us do our jobBԪַ and I say, BԪַBecause youBԪַre not doing your job, in the real world, if you have a job to do, you go do it, you donBԪַt wait for it to sort itself out.BԪַ It sounds sarcastic and elementary but itBԪַs simple, theyBԪַre not doing their jobs.BԪַ

On Saturday Buziak led the 11th annual Walk for Justice to bring awareness to his daughterBԪַs unsolved murder, walking from the Royal Oak Burial Park where Lindsay is buried to the crime scene at De Sousa Place and then to Saanich Municipal Hall.
What makes the case so mystifying is the targeted, brutality of the killing itself. Experts concluded it was an organized murder. She was stabbed 40-plus times, her breasts mutilated.
Her boyfriend at the time, Jason Zailo, was the first to find her body though he was cleared as a suspect and no other suspects were ever named.

Since 2008, the internet has hosted dozens of conspiracies about LindsayBԪַs murder and it continues to reappear as a topic of interest, most recently among the rejuvenated true crime genre.
BԪַPeople are scared. Women who came on the walk are scared, theyBԪַre scared because Lindsay was murdered and no one was even held accountable,BԪַ Buziak said. BԪַTheyBԪַre scared because thereBԪַs killers in the community, killers and co-conspirators are walking the streets and whoever organized it, they knew her.BԪַ
Buziak noted he was told years ago by Saanich Police that while the case remains open there are no officers deployed in pursuing the case. However, Saanich Police Sgt. Julie Fast says the investigation remains open and active.
BԪַMembers holding primary roles in this case remain in those positions to retain continuity of the investigation and can then triage any new information so that it is adequately resourced and investigated,BԪַ Fast said. BԪַWe remain fully committed to solving this murder but need the publicBԪַs help.
BԪַSomeone knows what happened to Lindsay but has not come forward with their information yet. We ask that now is the time to do so.BԪַ
