Detectives say Hajtamiri was forcibly dragged from the Trailwood Place house on January 12, 2022, by three suspects posing as police officers and put into a white Lexus SUV.

She has not been seen or heard from since that time.

Hajtamiri was 37 at the time of her disappearance, five feet three inches tall with a slim build and shoulder-length black hair.

A $100,000 reward has been issued for anyone with information that could locate Hajtamiri.

The allegations against all of the accused have not been tested in court.
