Oh good grief! Another woman involved in the kidnapping! I wish we knew more about how all these suspects are connected? What kind of business were they running that drew them all into such violence.

The Ontario Provincial Police and York Regional Police are offering a combined $100,000 reward for information on the whereabouts of Elnaz Hajtamiri, who was abducted from a home in Wasaga Beach on Jan. 12, 2022. - Hajtamiri family photo

''Meanwhile, an arrest warrant remains active for Deshawn Davis, 35, of Toronto, who is also wanted in connection to this incident. Additionally, police say there is one, possibly two, individuals of interest who rented vehicles in December 2021 and may have information that could help in this investigation.''

 

[whiterhino]

I forgot the two "random" POIs.

JMO but the photo below of Elnaz, she doesn't look as bright or happy as other photos. The one below, she looks very tired. FWIW, MOO.

I've never attempted to search Elnaz online. There was a Facebook that some have referenced. Just wondering if there might have been any kind of hint online that something was wrong? On the flipside, often times when people are in controlling situations they do not always have access to their own devices. Sometimes people are pressured to curate their lives to look as if everything is great. Particularly within certain cultures. Idk if that might've been an element in Elnazs' life?

As I recall, her FB was set to private.

According to media, she had been happily married in Iran, but her veterinarian husband had died in 2017, when she would have been in her early 30s. The following year she emigrated to Canada and got an administration job (possibly through family ties?)

HUNTER: Answers sought in 'kind-hearted' Elnaz Tamiri's Wasaga Beach kidnapping

On Jan. 12, three armed men dressed in police gear snatched her from her relatives' home

torontosun.com

[This portion edited out, media headlines identify Lillo as her ex-boyfriend.]

I think the combination of being a new widow, and a recent immigrant, could make a woman very vulnerable to getting involved with someone before she was really ready, and then, as she became more self-confident, the dynamic of the relationship would change.

There are numerous cases of women being killed when they try to leave a relationship. Usually that happens before she actually has the chance to complete the rejection, less often, it happens after she's already broken up.

For example, a Saskatchewan cabinet minister, Colin Thatcher, made two attempts to murder his ex wife, accomplishing it in 1983, three years after their divorce.

That level of vindictiveness is, fortunately, uncommon, but I don't think humans are immune to it.

I was confusing Elnaz FB with another woman. I do remember the part about her husband passing and agree that anyone in that state would be vulnerable.

Without TMI I can say IME yes, the period of time when a victim is leaving their abuser is a very dangerous time. People can be extremely possessive and obsessive.

Don't you think there are far too many unrelated people involved for this to be domestic violence?

 

[whiterhino]

Don't you think there are far too many unrelated people involved for this to be domestic violence?

I've never said what I thought this was about, let alone that I thought it was dv (though I have speculated that it could be related before I'm called out for it).

The post you quoted was a general statement replying to another poster but with regard to Elnaz as well. I'm just saying, she was leaving her ex boyfriend who had recruited people to attack her. Just because Lilo and Elnaz were romantically involved doesn't mean that's what this was about but would any of these things have happened if Elnaz hadn't been with Lilo? Again, that doesn't qualify it as dv. I have been in a dv situation FWIW.

 

[2soccermom]

I'm sorry to hear, whiterhino, about your experience of dv. Glad you're still with us.
(Just sending a little note of appreciation and support.)

Well, they did say the remains were ''historical''..

CANADA - Canada - Mistie Murray, 16, Goderich, Ont, 31 May 1995

This case shares so many (too many?) similarities with Christine Harron's disappearance. Same area (a good 1 hour's drive from Goderich to Hanover, where CH was last seen), same age, height and weight, brown curly hair, last seen going to/leaving school, both in May (just over two years apart)...
