Investigators in Canada are offering a C$100,000 reward in a bid to solve the brazen kidnapping of an Iranian Canadian woman by assailants disguised as police officers that continues to baffle detectives. Elnaz Hajtamiri was violently abducted on 12 January 2022, from a house in an Ontario beach community, by three men disguised in police gear, who hauled her barefoot through the snow and into a waiting SUV. In the year since, there have been no ransom demands from her captors and few updates on the case. “Her family is grieving her absence and has lived through a year with limited answers,” Det Insp Martin Graham of Ontario provincial police told reporters on Thursday morning. “Someone out there knows the identities of these men.” Police also released two composite sketches of the masked suspects, based on details provided by two eyewitnesses, as well as brief written descriptions of the three men. During the abduction, one had a holstered gun and another had imitation handcuffs. Hajtamiri, who also goes by the surname Tamiri, emigrated to Canada less than five years ago, after she lost her husband. She had recently started her own cake-making company after leaving an import-export business. Her family has remained hopeful that she will be found, despite silence from the abductors. “Nothing weighs more heavily on our souls than the idea that we may never know what happened to Elnaz. We know there are people out there who have information and who may be contemplating coming forward,” Fariba Hajtamiri, her mother, wrote in a statement read by police. “We pray that you will do the right thing and help us out of this suffering.” On Wednesday, Elnaz’s sister told the Canadian Press the family “always think that she is alive, and that we can see her, we can hug her”. In July, Mohamad Lilo, an ex-boyfriend and former business partner of Elnaz Hajtamiri, was charged with her kidnapping over a previous incident. Police said Lilo was also facing charges of attempted murder and attempted kidnapping in connection with a previous assault on Hajtamiri, who was attacked in an underground garage and beaten with a frying pan. The attack caused serious head wounds that required 40 stitches. Police said they later retrieved a tracking device from the scene. Two other tracking devices were found in her car when she brought the vehicle in for a service in November. Police have also charged two men in relation to the parking garage attack. In April, Riyasat Singh was arrested by police but Harshdeep Binner remains at large. “If you suspect you may know any of these men or recognize them or saw them that night, please contact us,” police said on Thursday. “The smallest bit of information as always, may be able to bring resolution to a family who is distraught and desperate for answers.”
