1. Crimehub: A True Crime Podcast covers the 2008 unsolved murder of Lindsay Buziak in Victoria, British Columbia. 2. The episode centers Lindsay Buziak, Jason Zalo, Cohen Oatman, Jeff Buziak, and Saanich police because each shapes the timeline or the investigation. 3. The episode asks who lured Lindsay Buziak to 1702 D'Souza Place and why the case produced so many conflicting theories. 4. On Friday, February 1st, 2008, Lindsay received a call from a woman using a 778 area code and a strong accent. 5. The caller said her husband had been transferred from mainland Vancouver to Victoria and wanted the purchase finished by Sunday. 6. The woman insisted on a 5.30 p.m. meeting on Saturday, February 2nd, and said the couple had a $1 million budget. 7. The requested house needed to be new, have at least three bedrooms and bathrooms, and include a separate area for a housekeeper. 8. Lindsay saved the caller’s number as “$1 million” and emailed several listings before settling on 1702 D'Souza Place. 9. The house in Gordon Head was newly built, listed at $964,000, and had five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a one-bedroom suite. 10. Lindsay told Jason Zalo she felt weird and freaked out, and the ReMax Camosun receptionists found nothing in the company database or regional agent records. 11. Jason offered to take the showing, but Lindsay chose to go herself with him waiting outside and Cohen Oatman later joining him. 12. Witnesses saw a white man and a white woman, and Lindsay was seen waiting beside her black BMW with papers on the trunk. 13. At 5.38 p.m., Lindsay started showing the second floor and Jason’s text arrived while she was upstairs. 14. Around 6 p.m., Jason and Cohen found the front door locked, saw Lindsay’s high heels in the hallway, and entered through the French doors. 15. They found bloody footprints on the stairs and Lindsay slumped in the master bedroom. 16. Jason called 911 at 6.11 p.m., and paramedics later pronounced the 24-year-old dead at the scene. 17. The episode slows into witness statements, timestamps, and family testimony rather than a fast-paced forensic format. 18. It also uses archival detail from police records, later media coverage, and Jeff Buziak’s public claims about the case. 19. Anyone interested in Canadian true-crime timelines and real-estate lures would likely follow this episode. 20. Anyone wanting a solved-case story or minimal family conflict would probably skip it.
