Buziak father says he knows killers

SAANICH - The father of murdered realtor Lindsay Buziak says he and a team of volunteers including a private detective have been working day and night to find his daughter's killers.

"We have five people that we are targeting," he tells /A\ News from his Calgary office. "We know who they all are and we know why."

Jeff Buziak's revelation comes nearly two and a half years after his daughter was found stabbed to death in a Saanich home.

Investigators believe the realtor was lured to the home by her killers posing as prospective home buyers.

But solving the murder has been tough for Saanich police.

With leads drying up Lindsay's family and the Greater Victoria Real Estate Board put up $100,000 reward for information.

Three days ago the family took the reward off the table. Police say the move was not unexpected.

Sgt. Dean Jantzen from the Saanich Police department says "It was apparent to investigators that a monetary stimulus is not what the person or persons with information in this incident are looking for."

If Jeff Buziak's investigation has lead to solid leads the reward money might now be a moot point.

He says he has given some of that information to Saanich investigators and to the US television program Dateline NBC.

Saanich police say they don't know when that program is going to air but the expect it to be sometime later this month.

"We are hoping it will bring this investigation to the public's attention," says Sgt. Jantzen, "It will be a much wider audience in the hope it will assist our investigating detectives."

But Jeff Buziak says investigators now have the information they need. He expects police to follow up on his leads and make an arrest.

And as for the people Jeff Buziak believes murdered his daughter, he has a warning.

"You can run but you can't hide," says Buziak, "We're there. We are right on you. We know who you are and it's just a matter of time. You are going to have to take responsibility for your actions and that day is coming sooner than you think."

Lindsay's family, friends, and the team of investigators looking for her killers hope that day is soon.
