A $100,000 joint OPP and York Regional Police reward is still available for anyone with information that will lead to Hajtamiri's whereabouts.

Police say Hajtamiri, 37 years old at the time, was allegedly abducted around 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 12, 2022, from a residence on Trailwood Place in Wasaga Beach by three suspects dressed in police gear, but not actual uniforms. They fled in what is believed to be a white Lexus RX sport utility vehicle.

Hajtamiri stands approximately 160 cm (5'3") tall. She is of slim build and had shoulder-length black hair until it had been cut to a shorter length before she was allegedly abducted.

Photos of her and the suspects are available at opp.ca/news/#/mediakit.
