March 22/2024 Lindsay Buziak Murder – Criminal Profiler Pat Brown shares her thoughts.
Pat Brown is a well-renowned criminal profiler & crime writer, who has profiled the Lindsay Buziak murder case. Her video is an incredible insight into who may have played a role in Lindsay’s murder. Check out the podcast above, and the partial transcript of the podcast is below.
Someone reassures Lindsay it is okay to show the house, and oddly it was her boyfriend
the boyfriend who should have had her back, who should have been worried about her safety. And she is saying something is fishy about this, she is kind of freaked out, I’m kind of scared, and yet he does not go with her. Mind you, there was nothing so important going on that day that he couldn’t go with her. And there is some strange story that he kind of makes up.
Because a lot of times after the fact, they are asking? What did she say Jason, and Jason is telling people what she said. Well, we don’t know that that’s true. Jason could be making all that crap up. He could have for example – you wonder why she went alone, why wasn’t he with her. Now he told her he would meet her, but he doesn’t make it in time. Who knows how much he told her.
I will absolutely be there, even if you go into the house, I will be there in a minute. And he purposely didn’t do that – which he didn’t. He didn’t show up until after she had gone into the house with the people. There is just something about the fact that he is telling us what she thinks, and we don’t know that’s what she really thought, or what he really told her what he was going to do. It ends up that she ends up going into the house alone with two people.
Buziak told her boyfriend Jason Zailo & her father Jeff about her concern. Zailo encouraged her to take on the client because of the high commission she would get and to reassure her he offered to be outside of the property in his car in case anything went wrong. First of all, it doesn’t do any good to hang outside if you are not there so that the people, right at the beginning, you’ve got be there right away, sitting there, and you should be even introduced. The people who come to the house show know that that guy sitting in the car is your boyfriend, and he’s going to be outside.
That way they don’t kill you when you go inside. But if they don’t even know the guy is coming how would that make any difference. And also, the dude is a real estate agent, why doesn’t he just go in with her. She could still have gotten the commission he could just go in with her. Haven’t you ever seen a couple of real estate agents work together – ever? He could have been there, inside the house with her, but he didn’t do that, he also did not show up on time, so he was sitting outside to let the people know he was protecting her. So, that to me is very suspicious, and I will say right up front, that’s why I have trouble getting away with her boyfriend not being involved in some way, some fashion. His story is not right.
THE WOMAN IN THE FANCY DRESS
The woman is wearing this dress, and this is an interesting thing. So here she is wearing this supposedly designer dress, a distinctive dress with red, black and white pattern. That’s a hell of a dress to wear to a murder. Isn’t that weird! Right there, I am having issues with that. I’m like, so you have planned a murder, it’s going to be a hit, and you want down a cul-de-sac so people can you are coming to our house. That’s weird right there. Secondly, why would you wear such a flamboyant outfit where everyone can say, whoa, look at that woman. Normally you would want to tone things down when you are about to knock someone off, not lighten them up. So that’s just an interesting, weird thing.
The witnesses say that when Linday said hello to them it seemed like she hadn’t seen them before, hadn’t met them, they were people that were new to her. So, it wasn’t like two people she actually knew showed up, like two bad people showed up, what are you doing here. No, it was like eh, welcome, welcome, so it looked like these were two strangers, then the three of them go into the house.
Then good old Jason and his colleague arrive at the cul-de-sac about 5:40 pm.
As they were driving to the property Jason saw a figure through the glass of the front door. Okay here we go again, Jason saw the figure, it doesn’t say his friend saw the figure. We don’t have to believe Jason. It’s just what he said. Jason parks outside the property for about ten minutes, he then decides to drive back out to Torquay Drive and park there, as he did not want to be a nosy interfering boyfriend. Wait a minute, she wanted him to be there because she was scared, and now suddenly you think if you are seen outside in your car, you will be seen as a nosy looking boyfriend, even though you told her you were going to come and be outside.
Who is he telling this story to, that he doesn’t want to be a nosy interfering boyfriend?
Is he just coming up with an excuse for why he’s not parked in front of the house and why he’s parking around the corner so that his friend cannot see what is going on in the house or who’s coming out of the house. That is what I would be looking at. After waiting another ten minutes parking on Torquay Drive, he then texts Buziak to see if she is okay. She never opens the message. After twenty minutes has passed since he has arrived, he goes to the front door, Jason does, and he finds it locked when he tries to open it.
Through the muffled glass in the front door, he sees her shoes in the entrance hallway. But there was no sign of movement, and no one answered his repeated knocks at the door. Well, you should have knocked 20 minutes ago Jason. At this point he called 911. While Zailo was on the line with the operator his colleague found a gap in the fence. In the back garden, some people think that was the access point for a possible third person involved in the crime. That dude entered the garden and saw the back patio door was open., so he called out to Jason, who then told the operator they were going to get into the house and hung up. Jason’s colleague came through the main level of the house to unlock the front door to let Jason in. Jason’s behavior that of a lookout.
THIRD PERSON IN THE HOUSE
Could there have been a person in the house prior to her and the couple going in, meaning it was all well-planned, the couple making sure she would get to the showing so the other one could kill her. That is an interesting possibility and the reason I say this is, well, first of all, in her beautiful dress, I don’t think the woman in the beautiful dress, is the one wielding the knife. So, it’s either the tall dude that was with her who was quite nicely dressed, or there’s a 3rd person.
Is it possible that someone already accessed the house and was waiting in the master bedroom and their job was just to get her up to the bedroom and once he got her in the bedroom that guy started stabbing, they left, they got out of there, clean, nothing on them at all.
They got out of there and then he left after that. There were some bloody footprints, they never came up with any DNA, so whoever was there I would think would be covered more appropriately than the two that came in. So, I kind of wonder if there isn’t a 3rd person involved, that had some kind of protective stuff on him, so when he committed the crime all you do is collect the stuff, wrap it all up, put it in whatever, and sneak out the back through the hole in the fence.
So, this is a reenactment actually done by Jason himself, or some show.
So now his buddy lets him in the front door. Hey there Jason. So as soon as Jason comes in the front door, he says he races up the stairs to the master bedroom right away, where he finds her. Some people have said, well you know, why would he race straight up to the master bedroom where she had been murdered. Why wouldn’t he search out the rest of the house. Well, again, I don’t really know because I don’t know what happened between Jason and his buddy. His buddy came in, would it be more normal that Jason and his buddy would go through the house together, like check out the first floor together, then go upstairs together.
He calls 911 a second time, and emergency services arrive. Now, so when the paramedics arrive, they pronounce her dead. She was stabbed in the back of the head right through the cervical area here, and that probably wiped her out right there. Completely knocked her out. And then this gets interesting, she hasn’t been sexually assaulted, she’s got all her clothes on, none of her possessions have been stolen, and she was stabbed over 40 times, some say 50 something, and this is the weird part to me.
Is there revenge involved?
I don’t know. Okay so let’s stop for just a second. Maybe he had to promise to go with her in order for her to show up. He thought he had to show up. Yeh that is a good point. He is pushing her to go, you got to go, got to go. I promise I’ll be there, so don’t worry about it. That’s why, in my opinion, he is the top suspect. I don’t know why he is a suspect; I don’t know why he would want to kill her off, I don’t know why. He’d have to get at least two or three other people in killing her off and this is why the motive is hard to understand.
He really wanted his friend to go to dinner with him. And then instead took him to check on Lindsay first. He just had a very late lunch with Lindsay, like 3:00 or 4:00 pm, and he had to be stuffed to the gills, but suddenly he wants to take his friend for dinner. You got to go to dinner, but on the way buddy we’ve got the stop and check on my dead girlfriend, I mean girlfriend.
Supposedly, according to her dad, her breasts were mutilated.
I don’t know that that means that anybody mutilated her breasts, but the old chest stab, if you stab over and over again in the chest, obviously if you are a female your breasts are going to be mutilated. So now, one thing Jason says, and I’m always amazed when people say this, cause I’m like, here’s when red flags go up. Jason says he tried to give her CPR, so if your girlfriend is lying on her face or you turn her over, or she’s already lying on her back, she’s in a pool of blood, and she’s got 40 some stab wounds in her chest and breast area, I’m not understanding how you are giving her CPR? First of all, she is probably extremely dead at that time, even though it’s been a short time, but how are you doing it. I’m just wondering.
I would love to do an interview, you know, if I were the police, and doing the first interview, how did you do that CPR, because I’d like to know how much blood got on him, how much blood on his hands. What did he do to do the CPR, when did he realize she wasn’t revivable. I mean, I’d like to know, because I’m sorry, but if I went in and saw that many stab wounds in my significant other’s chest and she wasn’t breathing, he said he took her pulse and there wasn’t one.
I don’t know where the CPR comes on that and I know that he really did it, but I always find it interesting when people say they do, just so they don’t look bad, like I didn’t try to say her, or is it because they want to make it look like they tried to save her when they are not interested in doing so at all.
THE MEXICAN CARTEL?
I think his behavior throws up red flags all over the place, and it’s really hard to get away from this behavior. So apparently, eight weeks prior to her murder in December 2007 Buziak tried to contact a friend of her ex-boyfriend while on her visit to Calgary, then on January 22, which is just one month later, the largest drug bust in Alberta history took place, and the friend was arrested as being a major participant in the illegal drug trafficking operation.
It was speculated that Buziak’s murder may have been ordered by a drug cartel because she was believed to be a police informant. The detectives investigated the possibility but couldn’t rule it out as a motive because she was not an informant, and the personal nature of her murder didn’t fit a hired killer’s method of operation. And that is very interesting right there.
Crime scene investigators Yolanda McClary and veteran homicide detective Dwayne Stanton both agreed that Buziak’s was not a contract murder related to a drug cartel.
It was brutal but too amateurish. Both seasoned investigators say they believe that Buziak’s murder was very personal and planned by someone very close to her. Someone who had access to inside information from the Re/Max office where she worked. Let’s talk about that. What could she possibly have known that they needed to kill her. If she went up there to visit a friend and the friend happened to get arrested. Look, I’ve known a few people who have been arrested, you know, they weren’t close friends, but you know you know somebody that got arrested and you go what?
But does that mean I am a drug informant, an informant to the police because I happened to know somebody, or just because I happened to know somebody that might have done something wrong doesn’t mean I am heavily involved in anything. Or why I was there talking to that person, I don’t know, something crazy went down.
You would think if she had truly run into something incredibly serious up there in Calgary, she probably would have told her father. Maybe she didn’t tell her boyfriend at that point of the rabbit hole. But here’s the problem, those experts I think are correct. Let’s say she ratted out somebody, informed the police. Okay kill her, you go and kill her, because you’re pissed.
This is a very elaborate methodology to kill somebody, why go through all that damn work.
She wasn’t a hidden person, she wasn’t in hiding, she had a home that she lived in, she worked in the Re/Max office. You just wait outside the Re/Mas office, you want to make a point, she comes out of the Re/Max office, and you come by and mow her down. And they go, man that must have been the Mexican cartel that did that. That’s all you do.
So, you don’t have to plan this ahead of time, makes these phone calls, set up this elaborate ruse, and then, think about it. What were the chances of her showing up for this elaborate ruse without her boyfriend, because he worked there too, and he’s her boyfriend, why wouldn’t they think that she’d tell her boyfriend and he would come along.
For years we have had the Saanich Police telling us that Lindsay’s murder is likely connected to the Calgary Drug bust, and that she may have been murdered by the Mexican cartel.
In conclusion, criminal profiler, Pat Brown says she agrees with the Dateline experts. Lindsay was not murdered by the cartel – her murder was personal. Someone she knew and someone very close to her.

MY COMMENT:
He told Dateline, “I touched her skin, and I knew she had passed away.”
Well Jason, if you touched her skin and she had passed away, why did you then do CPR?
Or Jason, did you give her CPR, hear the air coming out of the holes in her chest, and know she had passed away.
Jason, did you touch her skin first to know she had passed away, or did you give her CPR first.
Because if you did one, you didn’t need to do the other.
If Cohen is a witness to Jason giving Lindsay CPR, then he has a witness to the event.
If Cohen raced upstairs after Jason had touched her skin or given or CPR then he did not see anything.
In my opinion, Jason is lying and did not give her CPR.
Though he could have got himself covered in her blood for another reason?
