The father of Lindsay Buziak, the murdered realtor whose case has gone unsolved for the past 12 years, has written an open letter to Saanich Mayor Fred Haynes pleading with him for help in finding his daughter’s killer.
“Sir — father to father — and for God’s sake please, as head of Saanich Municipality, do something about this problem you have inherited because your police department [is] obviously not capable,” pleads Jeff Buziak in the letter, which was posted on his public Facebook page and circulated through email.

You have inherited a 12 year old situation in Saanich that your less than brilliant police are capable of finding any resolution to except for excuses; The Unsolved Murder of Lindsay Buziak
Sir, I'm certain you are very aware it doesn't take 12+ years to do a job or accomplish a task. I'm sure your formal education was concluded in far less time. As I review your credentials I see the following:
Very effective 1st term Councillor
Produces win-win solutions
Energetic problem solver
Small business owner
Decades of community service
Ph.D. in diabetes research
Former teacher
Father of three, with his wife, Cathy
Very impressive and very fitting, I must admit, for the messy situation of the Unsolved Murder of Lindsay Buziak Feb 2, 2008 file you have inherited as Chair of the Police Board and Mayor of Saanich. Now, please don't go blurting out you can't get involved in the work of the police. They are no different than Sanitation, Parks, Roads or any other department at Saanich that is failing, they need attention and assistance or reorganization. If any of the many departments in Saanich failed to complete their duties and put the Corporation of Saanich and/or its citizens at risk I'm sure it would be given a high priority to resolve.
Well Mr Mayor, there was a murder on your streets of a wonderful young woman while at work nearing 12 years ago now that is unsolved. The killers are freely roaming your streets and your Department of Police are doing nothing about it of any significance. This certainly should have been dealt with swiftly, efficiently and without delay; not calculated in years sir. All your Department of Police have accomplished on this task have been pay raises, promotions, retirements, creative excuses, blaming, explanations, threats and publicly clearing of main suspects. The citizens of Saanich are at risk; their lives are at stake!
Mayor Haynes, I see from your credentials you claim you are very effective, you produce win-win solutions, you are an energetic problem solver. you have done decades of community service, you are a former teacher, you have the highest degree formal education provides so you undoubtedly are very smart and disciplined and finally you are a father. Sir, these are the qualities required to solve the conundrum your Police Department have been facing with attempting to resolve the unsolved murder of Lindsay Buziak and make your community safe once again. They just can't do it! Mayor Haynes they are failing badly and need your assistance, direction and leadership skills you claim to have to resolve this file. It is clear by the time that has passed they are severely lacking in the skills you have that they desperately require. Their only strong points to this date are explanations and excuses why they have not done their duty to the citizens of Saanich. Lindsay Buziak was born, raised, educated and murdered in Saanich.
Sir, father to father, and for God's sake please, as head of Saanich Municipality, do something about this problem you have inherited because your police department are obviously not capable.
Mayor Haynes, the murder of my daughter Lindsay Buziak has drawn international attention and has been presented on a world stage. That exposure is not stopping and will continue with new projects in the works. It is clear your police department has exhausted their strategies of stalling, balking, defending, secrecy and defensiveness and silence to protect what little reputation they have besides probably in name only now. They just don't know how to do the job they have a mandate to do! Its way beyond time something is done here before Saanich is humiliated further worldwide and known as a murder free zone with useless police. You are new as leader Mayor and do you want to be known as "The Mayor Who Doesn't Care" or do you want to live up to and even exceed your reputation which is clearly stated above which includes energetic problem solver? You have a major problem here Mayor Haynes and ignoring it won't make it go away. Please prove yourself and go assist your Police Department as they are really lost and lacking the leadership, knowledge, know-how and other abilities you possess. The world is watching sir.
Sincerely
Jeff Buziak, father of Lindsay Buziak (murdered)
