Three months after the abduction of Elnaz Hajtamiri, investigators have not yet determined any motive and have not received any request for money in exchange for his release.
On a cold winter night, three gunmen disguised as police officers came to a house in a Canadian town, saying they had an arrest warrant for the 37-year-old woman who lived there.
After clashing with the owner of the house, they took the Iranian-born woman, Elnaz Hajtamiri, dragging her barefoot in the snow towards their car, and left in the dark.
Already three months later, the police say that they have no idea where Hajtamiri is, in the case that surprised the investigators.
“We have never seen such a case,” said Ontario Police Chief Martin Graham, adding that they had not received any reward requests, nor had they located the white Lexus SUV used in the January 12 hijacking.
“We hope Elnaz is alive,” Graham said. “But my fear is that it is not so.”
Police said they had contacted the Iranian community in Toronto and Montreal as they expanded their search. This week investigators said a brutal attack on Hajtamiri in December could be linked to her abduction.
Two weeks before the abduction she was attacked in the garage of her home in north Toronto. The attackers beat him with strong tools and caused him serious injuries that required a lot of stitches on his head. Police later said they had discovered several tracking devices in her car.
After the December attack Hajtamiri had moved a beach north of Toronto out of security fears. She was last seen in the coastal community on January 10, to pick up her belongings at the police station.
Two days later she was abducted.
In late January police arrested the woman’s ex-boyfriend Mohamad Lilo, with whom she had split in October, but now say they do not believe he is involved in her abduction.
Hajtamir, also called Tamir, emigrated to Canada about four years ago after her husband died. She started a confectionery company after leaving the import-export business.
In the latest push for information, local police have released a video of Fariba Hajtamiri, Elnaz’s mother, who prayed for her release. Fariba, who still lives in Iran, said the family life had become “desperate”.
