Its been seven years since she was brutally murdered,and despite the passage of time, Jeff Buziaks voice still shakes a little when he talks about his daughters death.

LindsayBuziakwas just 24 years old when she was killedshowing a $1million home inSaanichon Feb. 2, 2008.

Police said the young realtor was lured by an unknown couple to the home, and stabbed multiple timesin an upstairs bedroom.

Her father has made it his mission to keep her memory alive and to keep her unsolved murder in the spotlight.

Like anybody else, the grieving is huge because your child was senselessly murdered by somebody," he said.

"And the other part of course is that its seven years and its unsolved and its a reminder to both the public and the authorities that Lindsays murder remains unsolved and that killers are in the community."

"Theyre not in jail. Theyre not held accountable.Theyre out there functioning, and they could be there in the lineup with you when you pick up your next coffee or fill your car up with gas, or maybe theyre your neighbour."

Celebration of life planned

As he did last year, Jeff Buziak has travelled to Victoria from his home in Calgary to lead the annual Lindsay Buziak Walk for Justice on the anniversary of her death.

Saturday afternoon, Buziak's family,friends and supporters will hold a Celebration of Life and fundraiser at the Breakwater Cafe and Bistro in Victoria. Proceeds will be donated to the CridgeTransition House for Women.

On Monday, Buziakwill lead loved ones and supporters in a walk that begins at her grave site, proceeds to the home where she was killed, and ends at Saanich Municipal Hall, where the police department has an office.

The Saanich Police Department has yet to make any arrests a situation that continues to frustrate Jeff Buziak.

"The police claim they are working on it hard," he said. "They dont give you any indication of what they are doing, whether theres going to be resolution or not. They dont release anything."

"Its a form of slow, painful torture and Im not saying that to be derogatory against the police."

Police have said the young realtorhad no knownconnections to the drug trade or the criminal underworld, and have never publicly confirmed any motive for the killing.
