The deadly appointment at Saanich house | Forensic Files

[Music] two weeks ago we covered the case of Lisa Marie young we are back on Victoria
Island this week a one and a half hour drive south of nanano to Victoria located on the southern tip of Vancouver
Island British Columbia Canada a place where there is one degree of separation between people everyone is connected to
everyone to a certain extent [Music] twenty-four-year-old Lindsay boo Zach was absolutely loved and treasured by
her family and many friends she was a spectacular young woman who could make friends with anybody and was loved by
everyone Lindsay pursued a career that was a natural fit for her it suited her lover people and her
popularity her father Jeff Busey AK has been in the industry for 30 years Lindsay landed a job at Remax commotions
real estate in Victoria the Remax Comeau Sam has multiple offices around the Greater Victoria area Lindsay lived in
Victoria with her boyfriend at Jason's a Lowe who was a mortgage broker who also
had a real estate license and was deeply connected to that world Jason's mother Shirley Zola was a manager of Remax
commotions real estate where Lindsay worked Lindsay was smart and driven really focused on her career and wanted to
succeed as a real estate agent a call she received from a new client on the 31st of January 2008 really got her
attention the call was from a female she told Lindsay that her husband had just gotten a transfer to Victoria and they
needed to look for a new house they wanted a home near the city ready to move in - they wanted a house with at
least three bedrooms three bathrooms a large master bedroom and a separate area for a nanny and they were in a rush they
were headed to the island on the ferry that weekend that was staying for three days to look at places and they wanted
to buy something within that three-day period what really got Lindsay's attention was the price range they were
looking at up to $1,000,000 2008 the economy wasn't doing so great suddenly a mystery woman rings up and
wants a million-dollar house within three days this was massive although she was excited at the prospect of her new
big-money clients there was something nagging at her something that wasn't quite right about the call the female
caller spoke with an accent but Lindsay couldn't quite put her finger on what the accent works
she described it as kind of Spanish but not really to Lindsay it sounded like the caller was faking the accident
Lindsay was nervous and apprehensive she was a junior real estate agent just starting young why had these mystery
clients called her Lindsay did ask the female caller that question and she said a previous client of Lindsay's made the
recommendation Lindsay called that previous client to check but she was out of luck
her previous client was out of town and she couldn't be contacted at first Lindsay struggled to find a house that
matched what her clients wanted once she felt did was a four-bedroom four-bathroom executive home at seven a
no two d'souza place in the upmarket Victoria suburb of Saanich the listing price for the house was 964 thousand
dollars the client said they would be headed to the island on Saturday the second of February on a later ferry and
they asked to meet Lindsay straight at the house at 5:30 p.m. on the day of the viewing Lindsay got another call from
her mystery clients to confirm the booking but this time it wasn't from the female it was from a male the male said
his wife wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be attending so just to expect him there before meeting the couple at
the house Lindsay had a late lunch with her boyfriend Jason Zelo at a restaurant
called sauce Lindsay had been expressing her concerns about the call and the couple to her friends and family she
called her dad who told her to make sure there was somebody with her at the viewing that somebody was Jason Jason
assured Lindsay he would be there and encouraged her to go get the million dollar sale they finished the lunch and
paid the bill at 4:24 p.m. from source they left separately Jason telling Lindsay he would be at the
viewing Jason left and went to see clients at SH C which was nearby he was working on a deal there SH C is an auto
shop he arrived there at 4:29 p.m. Lindsay is believed to have gone home to change her clothes
Jason left s HC at 5:30 p.m. he left there with his mortgage partner Cullen Oakman who also played in his hockey
team they weren't really close friends as such they were business partners who played on the same hockey team they are
captured on security camera getting into Jason's Range Rover at 5:30 p.m. Jason is seen walking to the vehicle
next to Cullen Cullen gets in the passenger side of the vehicle while Jason is standing right next to him
almost as if he was escorting him Jason and turns looked up at the security camera and walks around to the driver's
side Jason then sent Lindsay a text message saying I'll come meet you and I'll be 10 to 15 minutes or so Lindsay
had expressed her concerns about the clients and the viewing something about the call had made her apprehensive and
she requested Jason meet her at the viewing Jason doesn't contact her until 5:30 p.m. when the viewing was due to
start saying he's 10 to 15 minutes away as captured on the security footage in phone records
Lindsay replied to Jason's text message okay I'll see you in a bit I've got to go the Mexicans are here the Mexicans
was Lindsey's nickname for the couple at 5:29 p.m. Lindsay had accessed the real
estate lockbox at 1702 de Souza place de Souza place is a small cul-de-sac Street
the house itself was on the corner block of de Souza and Torquay Drive at 5:30 p.m. when Jason is underneath the
security camera getting into his Range Rover Lindsay was seen to greet the mystery couple by the back of her car in
the driveway of the house there was no other car in the driveway Lindsay and the mystery couple then make their way
inside the house Jason starts making his way but has to call his brother Ryan Zelo for directions
despite Lindsay's concern about the viewing and that they had just had lunch together he didn't know how to get there
and had the ring brother Ryan to find out at 5:38 p.m. Jason sends another text message to Lindsay just a couple of
minutes away Lindsay never opened that message at 5:41 p.m. Lindsay's blackberry made a
phone call where the police believe this was a pocket dog a direct result of Lindsay being attacked the buttons being
pressed during the attack it's within that window of 538 p.m. to 541 p.m. that police believe Lindsay boozy AK was
murdered at 5:45 p.m. Jason and Cowan driving to the Sousa place Jason drove past the house and he and Cullen noticed
movement at the door it was getting dark and the lights were run in the house they saw silhouettes through the opaque
glass of the front door because it was opaque glass they couldn't get a clear look they couldn't say for sure how many
people were at the door Jason drove up to the end of the cul-de-sac and parked his Range Rover facing away from the
house Jason still had a view of it in the rear view mirror they stayed in Jason's Range Rover for 10 minutes at
5:55 p.m. jason drove out of the souza place and turned right onto Torquay Drive parking along the side of the
house Jason did this because he didn't want to be the meddling boyfriend there was a large fence and trees and
shrubbery so really no view of the house at all from where he parked about 10 minutes later Jason sent another text
message to Lindsay are you okay Lindsay didn't respond Jason and : then got out of a car and walked up to the front door
they found it locked Jason could see Lindsay's shoes in the foyer through the opaque glass of the
front door the time is now 6:05 p.m. Jason and Cohen had been there for 20 minutes and this is the first time they
got out of the car and approached the house Jason checked the lockbox to see if there was a key there but there
wasn't there was an electronic keypad for the garage door Jason called his mother Shirley and asked if she knew the
code for the guy surely didn't know it but said she would make a call to say she could get it and
Shirley rang Jason back quickly saying she wasn't able to get the code Jason started to panic and called 9-1-1 he
told the operator that his girlfriend was in the house doing a viewing the door was locked and he couldn't get in
Jason gave the address and said he was going to break in Jason boosted : over the fence : gain
entry via the already opened back patio doors he walked through the house and unlocked the front door
Jason quickly push past : as he was opening the door he ran straight up the stairs and : stayed downstairs Jason
found Lindsay straightaway in an upstairs bedroom Lindsay had been viciously murdered stabbed over 40 times
throat cut Jason tried to give her CPR another call was made to 9-1-1 at 6:00 11:00 p.m. the
police were already on their way responding to the first 9-1-1 call when police arrived to Jason and Cohen were
waving their arms in the upstairs bedroom window the police went into the home up to the bedroom and took both
Jason and Colin to the police station separately police secured the crime scene and deployed k-9 units to try and
track the killers but they didn't pick up much leaving police to believe the killers escaped in a vehicle parked on
torquay Drive neither Jason nor : heard or saw The Killers leave what motive could somebody have to lure a young real
estate agent to her death like that robbery was quickly ruled out there was nothing in the house for Steele every
room was completely empty it was for sale and ready to move in - and Lindsay's purse watch wallet and money
were all left at the scene there was no evidence of sexual assault either a forensic examination located foot prints
and finger prints matching Jason and : which confirm they were telling the truth with their story as to how they
came to be inside the house the police are extremely tight-lipped about it but they located DNA samples at
the crime scene as well just weeks before her murder Lindsay had gotten breast enlargements Tom had been spent
by her attacker to mutilate these they also found three fence boards had been kicked out on the back fence of the
house he could have walked off the back patio veered off to the right and walked
through that gap in the fence the gap led you to a spot behind trees and shrubs where you wouldn't be seen from the road
from there you can make your way onto Torquay Drive into a getaway vehicle or over into the back neighbor's yard in
garage police canvassed the area which is when they located the witnesses who saw Lindsay greeting the couple at the
front of the house in the driveway about 5:30 p.m. Lindsay shook their hands and appeared
to be introducing herself leading police to believe she hadn't met them before it
was clear that Lindsay had been lured to the scene of her murder by this couple so who were they
one witness was able to assist police with a sketch of the female suspect she was described as Caucasian aged 35 to 40
years old with short blonde hair police suspect that this could have actually been a short cropped blonde week she was
wearing a bright colorful dress that really stood out it was white black and either red or
pink colored with a distinctive pattern the male was described as Caucasian six feet tall medium build dark hair and it
was also well-dressed wearing a light to medium Breann colored jacket the sketch
and descriptions of the couple weren't released to the public until the first anniversary of Lindsay's murder in 2009
the police saying they waited until the one-year anniversary in order to maximize exposure police were able to
find the phone number that the mystery couple had used to contact Lindsay it was stored in her blackberry under their
nickname the Mexicans the number belonged to a cell phone which was purchased at a convenience store in
Vancouver in late November 2007 due to the time that it passed there was no surveillance tape available of that
purchase the phone was a pay to talk phone the only registration required was the
type in your name and address online and any old name and address would do the name used to register the phone was
Paulo Rodriguez which is believed to be a fake name the address used was legitimate but it belonged to a business
in Vancouver believed to be completely unrelated just an address picked at random
despite being bought six weeks earlier the phone was only activated days before the murder it was activated in Vancouver
in late January 2008 and that's when the first calls to Lindsay were made the phone then traveled to Victoria from
Vancouver 24 hours before Lindsay's murder this information was gathered through phone tower records the phone
was used to make six calls to Lindsay after her murder it was never used again this shows planning and organization but
why Lindsay had no known enemies she didn't lead a high-risk lifestyle she was a much-loved 24 year old real
estate agent who got along with everybody the theory is that her killers were hired or arranged by somebody close to
Lindsay so who called it Lindsay's father Jeff Busey AK could only think of two scenarios when the news was first
broken to him her boyfriend Jason Zelo or her ex-boyfriend Matt McDuff police were on the same page and focused in on
those two in the early part of the investigation Matt Macduff was Lindsay's ex-boyfriend
they dated from 2001 until 2006 he was extensively questioned by police about the murder at the time of Lindsay's
murder they had been separated for almost two years and had both moved on to new relationships they had no contact
with each other for months before the murder Matan acknowledges that their relationship wasn't always a happy one
it was at times stormy and rocky Lindsay could be fiery despite that they had an
enormous connection which they felt was a deep love that was irreplaceable there
is no evidence at all pointing to Matt no reason to suspect him at the time of Lindsay's murder he was at a location
over an hour away with his new girlfriend and her family however information was put forward by somebody
that just 24 hours before her murder Lindsay disclosed she was afraid of men this information came from Shirley's
Ayla the mother of the prime suspect at the time Jason Salem Shirley is the only person
who has ever heard Lindsay say she was afraid of math in fact Lindsay's friends have a totally different story they say
Matt had a bit of a hold over Lindsay they had a connection few would experience but their relationship got
too dramatic and they both knew it had to hint Jason's a low Lindsey's current boyfriend the man whose girlfriend was
nervous about meeting this mystery couple and requested him at the house the man who parked past the house in the
cul de sac for 10 minutes then drove out of the cul-de-sac and parked around the
corner for another 10 minutes meaning he waited 20 minutes before approaching the
house and he was 15 minutes late say Lindsay had been inside for 35 minutes at the viewing she was nervous
about before Jason checked on it police found Jason hunched over Lindsay covered
in her blood he was handcuffed taken to the police station question for hours and to ask to give a
DNA sample which he didn't do and refuses to this day a few days later Jason went with police back to 1702 de
souza place and participated in a videotape - reenactment of his movements that day the following audio is from
that reenactment so today I pushed it open okay he was already in front of me yeah and I
said I'm running upstairs and I was yelling I was Yellin on Lindsey Lindsey Lindsey and where did : girl she went
straight at your work straight ahead of that okay or just hang on a sec there so
he was ready yep and you you went running upstairs yeah okay so let me case let me go upstairs first
and then you can talk to your wait well the stairs envelope to the yet right you
okay so I was running inside the house I just came running up the stairs do you remember on the bastard ever done
anything you smell anything put yourself back there the time I got to from the door upstairs at one two seconds okay so
your nose was running upstairs yeah I got it walking the second I open the door it was a fog bedroom full bathroom
executive home in the last months of her life Lindsay was telling family and friends
she was thinking about breaking up with Jason as soon as several real estate deals closed in December 2007 six weeks
before her murder Lindsay flew to Calgary Alberta to visit her father Jeff during that visit she
told him that her relationship of Jason wasn't working she missed Matt she had made a horrible mistake and didn't know
what to do about it Lindsay's friends confirmed that's how she felt but not long after making those
comments she went on a ski trip with Jason and his family Lindsay's friends say on this trip
Lindsay softened reconsidered and decided to try and make it work with Jason Jason says there is no truth to
the stories at all that Lindsay was ready to leave him Jason was described as being unemotional
after Lindsay's death no tears when asked about this jason says people showed their emotions in different ways
and that he is deeply affected he loved Lindsay still thinks about her every day and once the case solved as
soon as possible Saanich police have said publicly Jason Zelo is no longer considered a suspect
Matt Macduff was never really considered a suspect at all as part of the investigation police have conducted
1,500 interviews followed up on 750 tip offs and executed 30 search warrants but
no arrests have ever been made and no suspects have ever been named publicly by the police so that there is your
typical rundown of the story of Lindsay Busey AK but let's have a look at some other information and some other people
that may or may not be related to this story I understand that some of what I say may seem totally off topic and you
may even get a little bit lost but you're gonna have to stick with me here and pay attention where we are going
isn't easy to get your head around but just remember what I said at the start of the show Victoria is one degree of
separation between people everyone is connected to everyone to a certain extent as you've already heard Lindsay
was dating Matt McDuff between 2001 into 2006 Matt McDuff has a twin brother Malcolm
the McDuff brothers are hardworking and successful Matt and Lindsay had a connection that most people would never
get to experience the McDuff twins have some colorful friends some of their friends and acquaintances were involved
in activities that led to raids on the British Columbia legislature this was due to a drug scandal in British
Columbia government parliament buildings more serious some of these people were linked to the British Columbia Rail
sell-off where political corruption was to such an extent that the premier of British Columbia resigned and the
current government is refusing to make the drugs in Parliament and rail sell-off
public just think about that for a second such massive stories and not only has it been barely reported on the file
is a sealed shut now where are we going with this well to try and keep it as simple as possible just now the McDuff
twins had links to some of the people involved in these scandals we aren't suggesting their players are involved in
anything illegal at all but they had associates who were involved and the files are still sealed we don't really
know the full extent of it how is this relevant Lindsay was in a relationship with mat Macduff when all
of this was going down in fact during the investigation both Matt and Lindsay's phones were tucked
shortly after breaking up with Matt the Lindsay started her real estate agent course Ryan Zelo was on that same course
pretty soon suggestions from Ryan that they should study together turned into him fully hitting on her yo Ryan was
very keen on Lindsay and introduced her to his mother Shirley Zelo surely gave Lindsay her job at Remax commotions real
estate where she was the manager then Lindsay caught the eye of Jason Zelo pretty soon Jason constantly popping
into the office with coffees for Lindsay turned into a few dates which turned into a relationship the early part of
the relationship went well and they decided to move in together Shirley Zelo bought them a waterfront
property on Shawnigan Lake which is about a 20-minute drive north from Victoria that was in the early summer of
2007 it was worth 1.3 million dollars and she spent another 250,000 on renovations and furnishings but it
wasn't long before Lindsay started to see Shirley Zelo was going to be a bit of a nightmare
she described her as being controlling and demanding with massive mood swings and lots of anger not only that she
described to Jason as controlling and too possessive Lindsay wanted out she said she was done and was moving back to
Victoria Linsey started looking for her own place she wanted to be downtown close to the
gym and close to her friends but Jason was able to woo her back and they decided to leave the place at Shawnigan
Lake and they moved to a condo at a place called shutters located on the Victoria Inner Harbor the condo was
owned by Ryan Zelo and they had to kick out the tenant who was already there Shirley's a lay spent another $70,000 to
repaint and refurnished the condo they moved there in the fall of 2007 but it didn't last long
three months later Lindsay was freaking out she couldn't do it anymore in December 2007 Lindsay flew to Calgary
to visit her father Jeff Busey AK remember that's when she tells Jeff that things aren't working out with Jason she
still love Matt and she had made a terrible mistake she had a few deals she was waiting to close and wanted to get
those deals done before leaving Jason well Lindsay told Jeff something else she mentioned she saw something she
shouldn't have Lindsay didn't elaborate on what she had seen what was it about a
week after Lindsay returned home on the 22nd of December 2007 she was with her friend Nikki at her and Jason's condo
they had just returned from an idea and it was the early hours of the morning she told Nikki all about her problems
with Jason and that she was going to break up with him Jason was asleep at a time and Lindsay wasn't concerned about
what she was saying but Jason wasn't asleep he was standing up with his ear on the bedroom door listening in Nikki
and Lindsay busted him Nikki freaked out and Wren Lindsay went after her Jason started calling Lindsay but she didn't
answer that didn't stop Jason no he kept going and going making about 30 calls in total
Lindsay never picked up so Jason then called his mum Shirley Zelo on Christmas Day Lindsay received
extremely expensive gifts from Jason and then she was taken away on a ski trip to
Whistler that's when she tells friends she's softening and reconsidering and maybe
will try and make her work with Jason and all of this leads us into the story of the biggest drug bust in the history
of our Berta [Music] on the 22nd of January 2008 11 days before Lindsey's murder 25 kilos of
cocaine was seized from a house in Calgary on the 28th of January 2008 another 42 kilos of cocaine was seized
from the same house the cellphone used in Lindsay's murder was activated soon after and the call
from the female with the strange accent was then made to Lindsey within later months another 13 kilos of cocaine was
seized from that same investigation making that total bust 80 kilos worth about eight million dollars fourteen
people face charges in total two of those 14 faced conspiracy to traffic charges Ericsson Delhi Alcazar was one
of the men to receive a conspiracy to traffic charge Ericsson Delhi Alcazar from Victoria has
four brothers Edwardson also known as sandy Jefferson Ericsson and Emerson their uncle's are
Antonio Lopez and Sorella Lopez sorello Lopez is currently in jail on drug trafficking charges but at the time of
Lindsey's murder he was around they all live around Victoria let's have a look at what the Delhi Alcazar brothers are
known for Ericson who went down in the biggest drug bust in the history of our Berta also has a record for assault
resisting a peace officer breaching a conditional sentence aggravated assault and breaching probation Eldridge then is
known for assault causing bodily harm and breaching probation jefferson is known for assault causing bodily harm
driving offences breaching probation and he has two charges for possession for the purpose of trafficking and one
charge for trafficking in a controlled substance Emerson is known for assault with a weapon
aggravated assault causing bodily harm possession of an unauthorized firearm and breach of undertaking a week after
Ericson daily Alcazar gets busted the cell phone used in the murder of Lindsay is activated
six weeks before that drug bust Lindsay had been in Calgary and while she was there she made contact with Erickson del
Alcazar they were both from Victoria and Lindsay knew a lot of people plus the del casar brothers are good buddies with
the McDuff brothers yes that is Lindsay's ex I'm referring to Matt McDuff it's believed her contact with Erickson
daily Alcazar was by phone only and the nature of their contact is unknown from their stem the rumors that Lindsay could
have been the snitch in that investigation but that's not true the police investigation into that drug
operation in Calgary started before Lindsay was even there when she made contact with Erickson the investigation
was already well underway she wasn't the snitch but what if you wanted Lindsay dead then suddenly that opportunity
presents itself Lindsay visits Calgary not long after that an eight million dollar drug bust
and she had contact with the guy who got busted or what if he didn't necessarily
want Lindsay dead but you knew about her visit and you knew you would be out there use it a lot of money was lost a
lot of people angry scrambling panicking finger-pointing threats being made what
if a wrong had to be made too right everyone answers to someone even though she had nothing to do with it you could
make it seem like she did those are just a couple of the theories flying around or maybe her trip and contact with
Erickson and the drug bust is just a complete coincidence but a week after that bus the cellphone used in Lindsay's
murder was activated Lindsay receives the call from the woman with the strange and possibly fake
accent two days later she's viciously murdered let's have a look at a couple of other
friends of the del alcazar brothers edgar Acevedo otherwise known as vide Vedas good friends with the del
Alcazar's the local word on the street around Victoria is that vehicle allegedly be involved in some illegal
drug activity son they are suspected anyway a good body of vid and the del Alcazar's as well is Zachary Scott
Matheson otherwise known as ze some suspected Ziggy could allegedly be involved in some illegal drug activity
as well let's have a look at what Ziggy has been charged with over the years trafficking in narcotics aggravated
assault assault with a weapon assaulting a peace officer possession of a controlled substance trafficking in a
controlled substance breach of probation possession for the purposes of trafficking murder use firearm
committing an indictable offense and disobeying a court order and the last charge that appears on Ziggy's record is
the sixth of June 2013 possession for the purpose of trafficking with this last charge ze was arrested with his
friend Ally Zoe from three locations police seized 13 kilos of marijuana two kilos of cocaine one kilo of crystal
meth 10 litres of the date rape drug GHB 200 pills of ecstasy one kilo of a cutting agent 9 millimeter
ammo scales our money counter and gun holsters guess who won in the house Ziggy was living in when he got busted
with all those drugs surely Zelo surely owned it Ziggy rented it for 5 years after the bust Shirley came out publicly
and said that neither her nor her family had any association with ze and had no idea what he was using her house for she
said she couldn't be held responsible for the actions of their tenant but then you go on Facebook and see
Ziggy played in the same hockey team as Jason and Ryan Zelo and they're smiling and posing for pictures together then
you hear the stories that the sailors were always hanging out and are indeed very close to Zeki and to his good buddy
vid as well it's one of the larger drug busts to have happened on the lower island in some reports police are quoted
as saying these are solid mid-level guys other reports police are quoted as saying they are at the top of the chain
in Victoria who really knows it was Big D the way Ali Zoe has since pleaded guilty as part of his plea agreement he
doesn't have to testify as each trial Zoe was sentenced to two and a half years jail those in the know say that
sentence seemed pretty light considering the size of the bust we can only speculate why that may be Ziggy's trial
is set for later this year that has already been all sorts of delays and motions and whatever else so who knows
if it will actually go ahead when it is scheduled as Iggy's lawyer is Brad hick furred the same lawyer that the zola is
called straight after Lindsay boozy axe murder the same lawyer that is seen on the re-enactment video Jason did with
Saanich Police days after her murder also you remember when I was reading through some of Ziggy's criminal history
I mentioned a murder charge let's go through a quick rundown of that Ziggy was in a romantic relationship with a
girl Shannon their relationship ended in February in the year 2000 a few days after the split Shannon turned up to
liquid nightclub with a man by the name of Kevin black they appeared to be romantically together also present at
liquid nightclub was EE and his friend David Nabarro Ziggy wasn't happy seeing Shannon and
Kevin strutting into the nightclub holding hands there was tension after leaving the club Shannon and Kevin went
back to Shannon's place kevin was shot dead and Shannon was knee beaten to death
David Nabarro Lindsay you were both charged with Kevin's murder the Ziggy alone was charged with assaulting
Shannon with a weapon the weapon being a handgun Shannon was beaten to within an inch of
her life and was unrecognizable to her parents Shannon ended up surviving the attack
but died of a heroin overdose before the trial the word is that Shannon was known
more for her cocaine use than heroin after that the crown made an offer to Ziggy and David if someone pleads guilty
to the murder of Kevin black the other one will be led off and the person who pleads will get the minimum 10 years non
parole sentence at first - neither accept it then David started mentioning he was considering the idea his legal
counsel advised him no they were totally against it but David decided to take the
deal his counsel withdrew from representing him and David had to get new counsel he pled guilty and was
sentenced to life with a non-parole period of ten years the minimum as promised now back to the celos the
property at 1702 de souza place where Lindsay was killed was a new development the property developer Joe D'Souza had
just subdivided the land and was building new houses the house next door was still being constructed but the
builders packed up and left at 5:00 p.m. making 5:30 p.m. a good time to book a viewing in that area if you wanted to
ensure the minimum amount of people would be around Joe D'Souza was good friends with Paul Berghof Paul had moved
to Victoria from the Netherlands with his family he later split from his wife and hooked up with Shirley Zelo he was
still in a relationship with Shirley Zelo at the time of Lindsay's murder so Shirley's boyfriend Paul his good
buddies with Joe Joe is the developer who built 1702 D'Souza place where Lindsay was murdered after the murder
Jeff Busey AK confronted Joe D'Souza after being told Joe was overheard saying the [ __ ] got what she deserved
referencing Lindsey Joe denied making that comment a few years after the murder Joe's good buddy
Paul Shirley's now ex-boyfriend suddenly packed up sold his business interests and moved back to the Netherlands his
ex-wife and kids still remain in Victoria Paul isn't talking remember the three fence boards that were kicked out
along the re-offense of 1702 D'Souza place you could walk through the gap and not be seen from the road dude at the
trees and shrubs from there you could walk out on the Torquay Drive or you could go to the house behind the front
yard of the house behind connected to the backyard of 1702 de su the place the garage of that house behind was close by
as well this brings us to another story your theory of what happened that day the story of Terry Sheen's alleged
behavior Terry Shane lived in a house on Torquay Drive located behind the murder
house this is all alleged as thority various people online will tell you but on the day of Lindsay's murder Terry
Shane was said to be at home by himself most of the day his wife was with one of
their sons at a sporting tournament we will call him Jake their other son was in Vancouver visiting a friend we will
call him Dale that day Terry told his wife to take his car to the sporting tournament something that was unusual he
never usually let her drive his car that meant Terry would now be driving his wife's minivan Terry called Dale who was
in Vancouver and told him to get on the later ferry back to the island that Neil
meant that Terry jumped into his wife's minivan and left to pick up Dale from the ferry just before the cops arrived a
next-door responding to Lindsay's murder Terry picked up Dale who was expecting to go straight home but Terry had other
ideas Terry wanted to go to the sporting tournament and then out for dinner Dale didn't want to so Terry left him
and went to meet up with his wife and other son Jake who was still at the sporting tournament when Dale got back
to Torquay Drive and saw the cops and news crews everywhere he called Terry in a panic the cops even told Dale they had
to search their house as the killer could still be on the loose Dale relayed all this information to
Terry who didn't seem concerned at all he told our chili I can get something to eat
by the way Terry didn't tell his wife any of this so Terry and his wife head out for dinner with Jake which they
didn't really want to do either they'd been at the sporting tournament all day but Terry insisted Terry made no mention
of the cops and news crews next door no mention of their house getting searched Terry had been unemployed for a little
while he was fired from his last job due to some money issues he worked at Victoria Golf Club the
Victoria Golf Club is where the wake was held for Lindsay which was organized by
there's a Lowe's the day after Lindsay's murder Terry cleaned his wife's minivan gave it
a detail that story is what he's alleged by some Terry Sheen has never come forward to either confirm or to denooyer
: open remember him the business partner of Jason the word is that Kalyn and Jason weren't all that tight in fact
Colin was said to be somewhat surprised when Jason invited him out for dinner he didn't even really want to go Jason
had to plead with him so eventually Colin agreed turned up met Jason at SHC jumped in his Range Rover thinking no
headed out for dinner not knowing they were going to check on Lindsay Jason didn't mention that until though in the
car and already on the way when Jason made the call to his brother Ryan to get directions
Ryan was with a girl called Ashley lung sister - Michelle lung Michelle lung another one of these people said to
allegedly be involved in some criminal activity per record shows that she has been
charged with unlawful confinement or imprisonment and possession for the purpose of trafficking she was also a
witness in a murder trial in 2006 she lived a block and a half away from where Lindsay was killed and it's rumored
Ariane Victoria that she is very fond of a short cropped blonde week the timing of Lindsay's murder is pretty
interesting too as if there wasn't enough going on here the day before her murder Friday the 1st of February of
2008 7 experienced senior police officers retired from the Saanich Police Department including three detectives
one of which was their main senior lead detective who would have been calling the shots on Lindsay's case between
those seven officers they had a combined experience of two hundred and ten years
in policing so they all retire the day before Lindsay gets murdered there is a big retirement function that Friday
night the next day Lindsay a lot of their experienced guys had just left and now they have a brutal murder of a young
girl in a place not known for its brutal murders despite this Saanich police ran
with it refused to call back any of their experienced guys they never contacted any of them for help in fact
one approached the department and asked to be let back on to work it he was told
no they were fine they had it under control during the course of the investigation
the detectives working the case were locked away in a separate room access was monitored and extremely secure this
was done as Saanich police felt there may be a leak a few years after the murder
Shirley Zelo started dating an ex Saanich police officer there may be something to the location
of Saanich - in Victoria there are five different police departments that cover an area with a population of about
450,000 people it's thought that this causes a lot of fractured policing so the Attorney General implemented a new
strategy he formed the Vancouver Island integrated a major crime unit a specialized team of police major crime
investigators better equipped to deal with major crimes such as Lindsay's but Saanich police elected not to be a part
of that Major Crime Squad the reason they gave was that their homicide detectives solve most of their
cases on their own and in a cost-effective way during the course of Lindsay's investigation as Saanich
police officer was asked if maybe they should have joined that major crime unit he said no he didn't regret not joining
the unit and he didn't think the choice had anything to do with why Lindsay's case remains unsolved but retired RCMP
homicide investigator ray Kalin who used to provide support to these smaller departments has the view that rather
than err on the side of caution you want to err on the side of expending as much
effort in doing all that you can to solve the case he says the integrated units such as the
Vancouver Island integrated major crime unit can often provide help with unsolved files but it's up to Saanich
police if they want to help it's now been eight years no arrests have been made and they've never even
named a suspect after they quickly cleared the jason's Eila the Major Crime Unit can't take over Lindsay's case the
only one that has the authority to turn it over is the Saanich Police Department
and for unknown reasons they don't want to do that despite the fact that Geoff Busey AK was called into the station and
told that Lindsay's case is no longer being actively investigated and the officer in charge of the case detective
Horsley has been reassigned Saanich police refused to let go of Lindsay's file their case that's it
hopefully they reconsider especially when you consider the facts and now this becomes even stranger Saanich police are
now part of that integrated Major Crime Unit they recently joined up to it so now they are a part of that major crime
unit yet they still refuse to let go of Lindsay's fault even though they aren't actively investigating it and it's just
sitting there the day after Lindsay's murder 22 year old real estate agent Jasmine Parsons
got a call from a woman with a heavy accent the female caller said can you come over I want to list my house
Jasmine said okay what's your address the female caller said well you know what I'm not sure can I'll call you back
she never called back Jasmine Parsons is Jason Zelo his ex-girlfriend a few days
after that still only days after Lindsay's murder Lindsay's friend Nikki was woken up by a
phone call Nikki answered and a female speaking in a weird accent started talking and Nikki was still half asleep
so didn't catch what was being said but it didn't take long for her to be struck
with fear when she remembered Lindsay was called by a female with a strange accent
Nikki asked the caller who she was and what she wanted but the caller hung up Nikki was able to call the number back
she called it 20 to 30 times repeatedly before someone finally answered Shirley Zelo Nikki asked her what was going on
Shirley responded nothing this story is strongly denied by Shirley who says Nikki is crazy
when confronted about it Shirley said her office manager's name is Nikki and she strolled through her phone saw the
name Nikki and pressed it not realizing it was the wrong Micky when asked how and why she had Nikki's number being
Lindsay's friend Nikki not her office manager she said Jason must have put it in Nikki was the friend with Lindsay
that night they were in the condo when Jason was listening in on their conversation there is another
interesting story about Jason Zelo going around and his actions and what he said
when he was released from Saanich police station after Lindsay's murder police had his Range Rover seized and their
condo was locked down it's alleged by some he traveled to a friend's house where there were other people present as
well and he seemed to be petrified that bikers were coming after him it seems his fear was magnified because
of Lindsay's murder if this is true it's interesting that someone whose girlfriend was just savagely murdered
would instantly be terrified that bikers were coming up then why would he be thinking that instead of deeply mourning
the loss of Lindsay everyone else was crying and mourning deeply about Lindsay not wondering whether bikers were coming
after them obviously jason has never publicly stated this it's just another story circulating around Lindsay's case
and what he allegedly said once he was released from the police station now we go back to vid sorry I know I'm jumping
around a bit with this one and I understand this isn't the easiest story to get your head around but just
remember Victoria is a place where everyone is connected to everyone to a certain extent vids good buddy and close
associate is Madero Rivas Madero is also tight with the deli Alcazar's allegedly vid and Medardo were doing
quite well for themselves before Lindsay's motor flash cars and all the rest of it successful businessman but
since Lindsay's murder people say they haven't been doing so well financially now you're interested in true crime and
listen to true crime podcasts so I know that you know all about cell phone records and cell phone tower pinks well
yes that's where we're going now the murder phone was found to have traveled to Victoria via ferry the day before
Lindsay's murder I've been told that cell phone records show when that phone got to the island
vid Acevedo's phone allegedly pinged in the same location as the murder phone when it came in on the ferry the murder
phone and his phone are then said to have pinged off the same tower later that night as well the one that's close
to his house I have also been told that there are phone records that show four people all come together suddenly from
different parts of Victoria one hour after Lindsey's murder at which time all their phones started to ping together
the four people are allegedly video surveyed Oh Madonna Revis Edwardson and Eldrick sand daily Alcazar I haven't
seen these records I don't have them in my possession I'm just passing on the information that has been relayed to me
while researching this case so again those cellphone records are all very much allegedly in a place where
everybody knows everyone there'd be a chain a hierarchy what if somebody panicked went after Lindsey rush Li a
desperate attempt to right or wrong save face shift blame send a message maybe they didn't think it through that's just
another one of quite a few theories that are out there about this case anyway Ziggy is alleged Sylvain overheard
saying that Lindsey's murder was a big mistake Sony's police aren't currently working on the investigation the
officers have been reassigned it's not being actively worked but Jeff Busey Ark isn't sitting back and letting his
daughter's memory fade allowing her killers and conspirators to walk free each year there is a walk for justice
through Saanich in memory of Lindsey on the 31st of January 2016 Geoff muziek was in Victoria when this
happened [Music] but in a stunning development Jeff muziek claims he not only knows who
killed his daughter he says he was threatened by them this week two days ago I was confronted by one of the
people involved in Lindsay's murder he bullied me intimidated me called me down profanity threatened me with physical
violence the police were called susiaccess there was also an incident at the Victoria courthouse on Monday
involving a drug dealer with a long and violent criminal record who he says knows who killed his daughter you can
see images of Vanessa Veda confronting Jeff Busey ak online a link will be provided in the show notes here is Jeff
commenting further about who he believes is responsible for Lindsay's murder group of local thugs who decided they
wanted to put out a message for people who squawk on them so they singled out my daughter and slaughtered her Saanich
police won't comment on whether the people blue dziak thinks killed his daughter are suspects or persons of
interest jeff says that Matt McDuck is in constant contact with him always trying to help you up the Zelo is on the
other hand he says I've never offered any hope at all in the hunt for Lindsay's killers business though
continues to go extremely well for the celos flash houses fast cars expensive boats no shortage of cash real estate
and mortgages continued to be very profitable in Victoria what did Lindsey know what did she see she told Jeff she
saw something she shouldn't have it's believed all of the mentioned groups in this story know what happened
they all casually accused each other from time to time but where lies the truth in the place where everyone is
connected to everyone to a certain extent it's believed that nobody wants to talk because they are all connected
connected to the extent that Lindsay's murder occurred one day after seven senior police officers retired and not
one was called back to work the case Lyndsey's murder is a murder mystery of epic proportions because so much is know
so much is out there so much has talked about but who called it and wire we contacted the Senate police
department and detective Chris Horsley the officer in charge of the case was good enough to speak to us he actually
listened to the episode before our conversation this is him commenting on Jeff Busey
exclaims he knows who killed Lindsey well I believe mr. Busey AK obviously you know is searching for answers as we
all are however I don't believe mr. Busey AK has any particular knowledge or definitive proof regarding the person
responsible for his daughter's murder I mean Jeff and I have had lots of conversations over the years and you
know I'm a father myself and I certainly you know can't even imagine you know what he's gone through but he's very
very committed to finding out who's responsible for his daughter and it really has gone through some phases over
the years where you know he believed a certain group of parties are responsible not switched to another group but you
know he has people that are assisting him in his own private investigation and based on some of the circumstances he
you know he's discovered he thinks he's on to the people responsible we have been told that Lindsay's case he's no
longer being actively investigated this is what the technically had to say about
that yeah there's been a lot of misunderstanding the reality is is for a good portion of time we had a dedicated
team obviously we have hundreds of investigations just like every other Police Department in the world but we
were dedicating people full time to Lindsay's file and that went on for about two and a half years however some
of the people that were involved were redeployed meaning that they you know they had transfers they went to other
sessions however the files still active I mean we're not going to close down an active
murder investigation it's simply not going to happen nor would any other police agency so some of the people yes
have moved on but right now in the detective division for the people that were part of that full-time team are
still working in detectives and are still affiant to Lindsey's case I mean even this week we receive tips and leads
from members of the public I just reviewed some even though as Jeff probably told you
you know my transfer you know is pending one of these days but I'm still acting as the person who oversees the
investigation and even this week I've reviewed tips that have come in from the public and of course all those tips need
to be followed up so they're still actively investigating and it's by no means what people would describe as a
cold case it's certainly not sitting on a shelf somewhere the Internet is you know I've been in policing you know over
20 years now and I've never had an experience with an investigation like this I think partly because when
Lindsay's murder happened it was right on the cusp of social media really exploding so what we have is a murder
investigation that's really being put out there in the public domain I mean not by the police we we don't share
information with the public but people are putting their own thoughts and their own theories out there in the public
domain through the internet and through blogs I don't think it's a bad thing I really don't but the vast majority of
the information that's being put out there is simply not true the investigation is I described it one for
someone it's like an iceberg and as most people know ninety percent of that iceberg is under the water and you don't
see it and that's exactly the way this police investigation has gone the public only seen the ten percent that's above
the water and of what is being discussed about that ten percent above the water about ninety percent of that scene
correct so it's tough for us as a police organization we'd love to stand up and say no you're incorrect about that and
you're incorrect about this but it's not really our place we're trying to solve the murder and you know we don't
investigate through social media we certainly will use it to our advantage but we're not in a position where we're
going to be reporting out our successes and our failures because we've had both over the last eight years and we don't
do it in the public domain you know Victoria as you're probably aware you know it's not a huge city at 300,000
people I mean people everybody seems to know everybody lots of connections there's nowhere that I go whether it's
the grocery store or out for dinner people don't associate me with this file and people will come up to me and talk
to me um what I find interesting is that of all the people posting on the internet and there's hundreds of them
I'm sure and using anonymous names not one of them's ever bothered if only I've never received the phone call other than
Jeff Busey AK himself he's the only person who's actually picked up the phone and said Chris I got a question
for ya none of the other members of the public did Bill just post random thoughts innuendo rumor but no one's
ever actually given me a phone call and I've made it clear to Jeff blue act that
my phone's it's still sitting on my desk it still rings I'll always give you a call back when asked if Senate police
ever made anything of the timing of the murder with the three detectives and seven police in total retiring the day
before this is what he said you know what we didn't I mean to think that someone is I mean I know that conspiracy
theories are run amok here but do you really think that someone's planning a murder based on the retirement schedule
of the Saanich Police Department I mean I don't even know if those retirements for public knowledge until after the
people already lost there's been lots of stuff posted on the internet about why didn't call them back well we don't have
that authority these people learning the army that worked for a municipal police
department and they've retired like they're off the pension we have zero ability to call these people back into
work if they don't want to and furthermore nobody offered there's been a lot of talk about the 7 you know
senior officers I mean the majority these people never even worked in the Detective Division so their experience I
hope the blur was in different areas of policing those that did work in the Detective Division they didn't offer to
come back and you know nor would we expect them to they've retired they've gone out the door to pension and they're
onto the rest of their lives and you know that happens in every Police Department you lose knowledge you lose
that skill set and we do our best to to ensure that we have training for those transition periods and the people we had
on this investigation were very very experienced and I have no doubt with the quality of their abilities there's no
different than those that went out the door he now commenced whether or not one of the retired
detectives us to be led back onto the investigation well I believe that one of the retired detectives offered Jeff
Busey acts to come back to mr. Busey acts however that offer didn't come to the stash Police Department you know he
didn't come into our agency and say look I'm willing to come back to work and help you on this and my understanding is
is that even that offered to mr. Busey AK was sometime after the murder like two years at least so it's not like the
weekend of the murder we received a call from somewhere and offered to help out that did not happen we then asked
detective hoesley if he could explain why the case hasn't been handed over to the integrated major crime unit the
simple reason is the the way that it's structured is that Vancouver Island integrated major crime unit does not
take on historical cases so this case at the time of the murder we were not part
of that unit therefore the way the management structure is is that we're responsible for the homicide
investigation you know the sandwich police are part of that unit today but they still do not
take on historical cases so they have a heavy workload as do we but I think what
people need to understand is that many of the people that worked on Lindsay's case within the Spanish police came from
backgrounds similar to that integrated major crime unit primarily the primary investigator who had worked 20 years
with the RCMP and before coming to Saanich and had more major crime experience than anybody that we actually
sent to the integrated unit so there's no doubt in my mind that we had experienced people making the decisions
on this case information about the existence of phone records was provided to us we asked the detective hoesley if
he could comment on those no because the phone records obviously pertained to individuals in the community you know
there's lots of names that are being thrown out we obviously aren't naming suspects were not a position to name
anybody in the file through you know Freedom of Information legislation the only private we can ever mention anyone
is if a public document has been issued so if we do get to a charge approval stage
and charges are approved by the prosecution and that name becomes a matter of public record and we would
release it but up into that point we simply can't we can't discuss people's personal records or the names of the
individuals involved we moved on to the incident involving vid and Jeffrey dziak
well mr. Bujji and I have had discussions about that and mr. Busey AK has been you know a champion for his
daughter and when he comes to Victoria he certainly will seek out people that he believes they're persons of interest
and in this case he did just that and you know a discussion ensued on the on the road you know I can't really get
into exactly what took place however the police did attend and form the opinion that no criminal event occurred the
individual involved when his own way and then mr. Bujji aquent his and that was the end of it these were the technicals
these general thoughts on the case and the podcast you know some of the things that people take is the gospel or
certainly incorrect you know the poor the poor victim their injuries to the victim were never disclosed an autopsy
reports never been disclosed so although we've admitted that this was a horrific
attack we've never indicated any type of injury or nature's of injuries um one thing off
the top of my head I know on the podcast mentioned when the witnesses showed up at the murder house you know there was
people seen through obscured glass the fact of the matter is the people were actually seen the door was open and the
witnesses actually observed the male suspect exiting the house so um just lots of little things that you know
we've tried to clarify I certainly have had a lot of discussions with Jeff booyaka over the years but you know we
don't expect it to be a hundred percent correct however you know we wish that the rumor the innuendo all those things
you know didn't exist on the level that they do by and large the podcast is a fairly accurate portrayal of the events
leading up to the murder certainly certainly little things but I mean like I said they're little however I think
the bigger picture here when you step back is you know there's gonna be one of the
probably first murder trials where the internet is going to play a large part which is you know how many potential
suspects have been posted on the Internet have they all been ruled out it makes for a daunting task for whatever agency
investigating any crime like this when so many potential suspects are being discussed openly because obviously the
prosecution is going to have to shut down all those avenues and prove that those people in fact weren't responsible
that in itself makes the workload absolutely mammoth and that's what a large part of our job
is every tip we receive we have to document and every tip we had received we have to show that that tip is a dead
end and that is a huge task I think we're dealing with people that have obviously shown that they're willing to
inflict severe violence on people and with any homicide of this nature where we strongly believe in a conspiracy to
commit murder has occurred these people planned to kill Lindsey and coming forward could potentially make make that
person a target so of course there's an element of fear there do we believe that
there are people in the Greater Victoria area that are in a position of knowledge
regarding the murder absolutely we certainly do and we certainly believe that those people may have the knowledge
that we need to be successful in this case I know a lot of people in Greater Victoria I really do from all sorts of
walks of life and is it possible that I've had conversation with someone who is potentially involved in this
conspiracy to commit murder absolutely I believe that's that there's actually probably a high probability
that I have spoken to someone involved in this crime in defending Anya that has information on the case this is what you
can do they certainly can form the Spanish police they can contact me directly they can contact us through
tips at the sanest police see a email address and ultimately they can contact crimestoppers and remain anonymous as
they wish to do so this is what detective Hoadley thinks about whether another case will be
solved absolutely absolutely the people responsible this case is completely solvable
I think maybe there was a down point maybe you know a couple years in there's a high level of frustration but I
believe in my heart this this file is completely solvable and that in fact were perhaps far closer than the public
realized actually solving this case so the team has worked very very hard we work ultimately for Lindsay's mom Evelyn
we work hard for Lindsay's father Jeff and her sister Sarah but ultimately we work for Lindsay and although I've had
some very difficult conversations with family members and I can certainly feel their frustration because they're not
getting information from us ultimately I'm working for Lindsay and I'm working for the end goal of finding the people
responsible and ensuring I brought to justice here are some final words from Jeff Busey AK people need to know I
speak for Lindsay not for me I also speak on behalf of Lindsay's family friends the community and all
women out there that at one time or another felt that uneasiness and there being that something wasn't right and
they feared for their safety that shouldn't be I know Lindsay's last words would have been daddy help I wasn't
there Jason's Ella wasn't there the police weren't there so Lindsay had to face her
executioner's alone that tears me apart every day but at the same time it motivates me to never give up on our
precious Lindsay no matter what Lindsay's cry needs to be heard the cry of women in fear everywhere needs to be
heard violence against women needs to stop Saanich police need to solve this murder to stop that cry and send out the
clear message that violence against women will not be tolerated we are all still mourning the loss of our precious
Lindsay the community is angry and scared because Lindsay's murder is not been solved the police provide no proof
they are doing their job it's now eight and a half with no resolution in sight so where is
this unsolved murder going well there is a dedicated team including myself working seven days a week on Lindsay's
unsolved murder there are other fabulous people who dedicate their time energy and resources to assisting us to close
in on the conspirators and murderers we gain ground on them every day the police
say they need the public's help solving Lindsay's murder we are giving it to them with a gusto and commitment they
have never experienced before we follow every tip we follow every rumor we follow all information we receive and
turn it over to the police while respecting those who provide it to us let's not fool each other not everyone
wants to talk to the police nor do they want their names mentioned we respect that we're all in though we do things
the police cannot do there is no holding back for us but we stay within the law what do I want to say about the police
do I need to say anything it's been eight and a half years since Lindsay was murdered we have nothing nothing the
police give us nothing I respect the police but they need to put some effort into this eight and a
half years who takes eight and a half years to do a job which is nowhere near completion if this is how the world
operated we would have all been dead a long time ago world wars have been resolved in four years world wars think
about that all we have here is a little girl murdered in her own community by people from our community and the police
have been dumbfounded for eight and a half years we're all crying out what the hell is going on here this is what we
get from Saanich police though lots of explanations lots of talk about how trained dedicated and hardworking they
are lots of excuses about how calm placated this murder is more excuses more explanations and now blaming and
minimizing what we do why don't they just shut up and arrest someone for God's sake that's all we want
today not tomorrow we all want the police to get on with their job and stop explaining blaming minimizing and giving
us all their bloody explanations and excuses if there's good as they claim they are then arrest someone and put
this nightmare to rest for all of us please Lindsay cried out for help her friends and family are all crying
out for help the community wants help where the hell are the police we are all doing our part
why don't the police just do theirs thank you all for listening we also reached out to other people
mentioned in this episode Jason Ryan and Shirley Zelo Vida servidio Tara Sheen David Nabarro Michelle Lum Eriksen
Jefferson and Eldrick sandal alcázar out of all those people Jefferson is the only one who responded saying that he
and his brothers would love to chat but we never heard anything back when trying
to set that up we were also unsuccessful in contacting Paul Berghof and Ziggy the offer still
stands for anyone who wants to talk we can do a follow-up episode we can do several follow-up episodes no problem
there are people out there who know what happened when will the truth come in [Music]
you [Music]
