Ontario Provincial Police have charged a 35-year-old woman in the abduction of Elnaz Hajtamiri, the latest arrest in a sprawling 15-month-old investigation.
OPP say the Toronto woman was arrested and charged Monday with kidnapping, fraud and possession of property obtained by crime.
Police say 37-year-old Hajtamiri has not been seen since she was abducted by three people from a relative’s home in Wasaga Beach, Ont., on Jan. 12, 2022.
Her family says she was hiding out there from an ex-boyfriend, who has been charged in connection to the abduction and for allegedly attacking her weeks before that.
Police arrested a woman on kidnapping charges last month and continue to search for a 35-year-old Toronto man who has a warrant out for his arrest.
