The Men at the Door: The Disappearance of Elnaz Hajtamiri
Serial Napper | True Crime for the Chronically TiredShow Notes
37-year-old Elnaz Hajtamiri knew she was in danger.
Weeks before she vanished, she survived a violent attack in the underground parking garage of her Richmond Hill condo after two masked men allegedly tried to kidnap her. She was beaten with a frying pan so severely that she required roughly 40 stitches.
Terrified, Elnaz left her home and went into hiding with her family in Wasaga Beach, Ontario.
But on the night of January 12, 2022, three masked men posing as police officers arrived at the house with fake badges, fake police vests, and what appeared to be a warrant. Within moments, Elnaz was dragged barefoot through the snow and forced into a white Lexus SUV.
She has never been seen again.
In this episode of Serial Napper, we revisit the chilling disappearance of Elnaz Hajtamiri, including major new developments in the investigation and the recent guilty plea from her ex-boyfriend, Mohamad Lilo, who admitted to conspiracy to kidnap in exchange for murder charges being dropped.
We examine the alleged stalking, tracking devices, organized criminal connections, private investigators, fake police uniforms, and the haunting reality that, despite years of arrests and court proceedings, Elnaz’s family still does not know where she is.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Elnaz Hajtamiri, please contact the Ontario Provincial Police at 1-888-310-1122 or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers. A $100,000 reward remains available for information leading to her location.
