Lindsay Buziak would have celebrated her 42nd birthday on Nov. 2.
However, she was only 24 years old when she was killed on Feb. 2, 2008.
“February 2nd will mark the 18th year of her horrific murder,” said Lindsay’s mother Evelyn in an update posted to YouTube on Nov. 2.
“Another year without closure, without knowing who or why.”
Lindsay was working as a realtor at the time of her death. She was killed in a second-floor bedroom of an empty house in Saanich, B.C.
Police said she was the victim of multiple stab wounds to her head and chest, and that she had been lured into the home as part of a fabricated meeting with a couple who said they were interested in buying the home.

Saanich police have said in the past that they know two people went into the home with Lindsay, but haven’t found what they need to recommend charges or make an arrest.
Evelyn said she was recently informed that the active investigation into her daughter’s death was ending and the detectives assigned to her case were being reassigned to other departments due to resources.
“The news has been devastating,” she said.

“Even though the years passed without answers, at least with it being an active investigation, I had hoped, one day, justice would be served.”
Evelyn said she is frustrated about the news.
She said police have told her there are people out there who could provide details about those responsible for her daughter’s death but they are either too scared or reluctant to get involved.
