Stranger Than Fiction: The Unsolved Murder of Lindsey Buziak
As I’ve said countless times on this blog, safety is an illusion.
Even those of us who get strong gut feelings about certain people and situations struggle to follow those feelings and make decisions based on them. Gut feelings are usually right, but we worry that in following them, we are being judgemental or plain old silly.
Even when we’re surrounded by red flags, we don’t always want to believe the worst.
On February 2, 2008, 24-year-old Lindsay Buziak, a ReMax Camosun Realtor from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, was murdered on the job. When she was asked to show the house she was killed in, the job seemed too good to be true. Something was sketchy about the whole thing.
But if Lindsay sold the house, she would earn a massive commission, earn some prestige, and advance her career.
Some risks are worth taking. And the odds of being in danger were so slim, it didn’t seem to make sense to turn it down.
Who arranged for Lindsay Buzak to show that house on that particular day, and why were they determined to make it the last showing of her life?
