Another arrest has been made in connection to the kidnapping of Elnaz Hajtamiri, thanks to public super sleuths.

Investigators released photos of three suspects wanted in connection to the Jan. 2022 kidnapping of Hajtamiri from a Wasaga Beach residence. Tips from the public have subsequently led to an arrest. The OPP say 30-year-old Krystal Lawrence was taken into custody on March 16, and charged with kidnapping. She will appear in Collingwood court on May 2.

Meanwhile, an arrest warrant remains active for Deshawn Davis, age 35, a Toronto man wanted in connection to the kidnapping investigation.

Jan. 12 marked the one year anniversary since the then-37-year-old Hajtamiri was abducted from the Wasaga Beach home of a family member, when three men posing as police forced their way into the Trailwood Place residence and dragged her out to a waiting Lexus RX350.

Her ex-boyfriend, Mohamad Lilo, is awaiting trial on charges of attempted murder and attempted kidnapping.
