CANADA Canada - Lindsay Buziak, 24, Victoria, BC, 2 Feb 2008

[Lalalacasbah]

That was one of my thoughts as I was running the theory through my head. I think the murder weapon may have been an attempt to confuse investigators. I think the entire scene was probably staged.

Ya, the choice of death, weapon and location breaks off from the whole "lead police to think it's cartel snitch execution" theory a bit to me at this moment (it might change as I flip flop a lot on this thread).

If the conspirators wanted police to think drug dealers did it - they would do it in drug world style, no? ie: drive by shooting, underground parking lot, ambush while exiting home, lure them somewhere remote and do somewhere isolated

So then we have to ask ourselves that question or do pros and cons... why a knife and not a gun?

It may be harder to get a gun in Canada, but that if it's done legally I'm guessing. Surely if it was a 'cartel' or a drug gang 'hit' they'd have underground/black market guns that can't be traced to use. If it was drug gang motivated, that'd be a hell of lot easier, less planning, less headaches, less messy and less risk.

Then we go back to something personal. Who had such contempt for Lindsay to make her suffer?

To me, I feel like that's something that happens over time. Like someone who had known her for a while and it built up and then a "how dare she" moment where that person then decided to hatch a plan to kill her. Almost like her murder was to "put her in her place" or something. Which seems like a woman thing to do or intimate relationship (friendship, business, lover, etc.) JMO MOO

The entire murder scene at 1702 DeSousa Place was a theatrical illusion set in motion by a group of people whose main goal was to distract & confuse. The fact that after 18 years of investigation the murder has not been solved, only goes to prove that the conspirators plan was a success. I agree that only a woman could have put this elaborate scheme together, and that woman had to be someone very close to Lindsay. A woman with an axe to grind, not a jealous woman in my opinion, but a woman who was either protecting/covering up for someone else very close to her, and/or protecting herself at the same time.

Do you have similar cases in mind, that you're thinking of?

 

[Professor Moriarty]

Is this a case where there is some sort of consensus on the island as to who did it? By this I mean do people think they are fairly sure that they know who did it, but it has not been proven?

IMO, that entirely depends on whether the person trusts or distrusts the Saanich police

I think the police theory is well known, but never directly stated, and people realize they don't have enough proof, and the perps are not even in the country.

Then there are the people, beginning with Jeff Buziak, who believe Saanich police are utterly incompetent and they know far more than police do.

From what I gather, there seems to be an unspoken feeling that a certain group of people very close to Lindsay were involved.

And depending on what people you think, as Cedars said - they may not be in the country. MOO

I'll agree that the killers may not be found here in Victoria but I'm confident that the conspirators are still living here right under our noses.

I'll agree that the killers may not be found here in Victoria but I'm confident that the conspirators are still living here right under our noses.

If that is the case, it would be difficult to get a conviction. No forensic evidence or CCTV. Eye witness evidence not great and relating only to the killers, not to the conspirators. Killers out of the country.
