Three years after B.C. banker, Rajvinder Kaur Gill was murdered on a visit to Pakistan, police have told a Lahore court that they have not been able to find her body.
The court was also told that the main suspect in her killing is still on the lam.
Lahore Additional District and Sessions Judge Sher Abbasm Awan has scheduled another hearing next week to delve further into the 41-year-old woman’s disappearance.
Gill, was a banker, who lived in Mission and Burnaby before moving to Switzerland in 2006, where she worked for Merrill Lynch, UBS and EFG Bank.
She travelled to Pakistan to attend a conference and a diamond auction in connection with her jewelry business. She arrived in Pakistan on Aug. 25, 2012 and stayed in touch with her family in B.C.  for the first few days. They last heard from her on Aug. 27.
The family said Gill's Skype and cellphone records showed she had contacted various phone numbers in Pakistan, including a Pakistani TV actor/host who was the recipient of Gill's last text message before she disappeared.
According to court records Rajvinder contacted various phone numbers in Pakistan 607 times from Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates prior to her disappearance
Among those she had contacted from her cell phone bearing the number 1141798343407, were several to Rehman Malik, the former security chief to Benazir Bhutto, who was assassinated and PPP leader Imtiaz Safdar Warraich. Contacts were also made with Kabira, a black magic practitioner in the UK, and a ‘magician’ in Pakistan. 
The case has not been concluded as police failed to arrest the prime suspect or recover the body of the victim, who was a distant relative of Punjab's Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal.
Her father, Sikandar Singh Gill, had travelled from B.C. to Pakistan and petitioned the Lahore High Court to help find his daughter.
In January, 2013, police said that Rajvinder was killed the day she arrived in Lahore.
Shahid, the main accused, on whose invitation she had come to Lahore, is still at large. His accomplice Hafiz Shahzad, confessed to killing her along with Shahid, and is in jail.
Co-accused Shahzad told the police in his statement that Shahid - a German citizen of Pakistani origin - had invited Rajvinder to Lahore to take part in a diamond auction.
"Shahid and Ms Gill had known each other for a long time. Shahid told her he would pay her the money he owed her when she visited Lahore," he said, according to Pakistan media.
He further said, "Shahid and I received Ms Gill at the Lahore airport and drove her to Sheikhupura (some 40 kilometres away) through the motorway. We had offered her tea laced with sedatives.
When she fell unconscious, we strangled her using a rope and dumped her body in Khanpur Canal". He said Shahid had probably left for Germany after committing the crime.
Police had recovered a laptop, a mobile phone, and a hair dryer that had belonged to Rajvinder from Shahzad.
Lahore police told the Lahore court that an effort had been made to recover the body from the canal where the accused dumped it but to no avail.
A facebook page set up by Rajvinder’s family still has a plea for help: “Please help find my daughter Rajvinder Gill - she's been missing since August 27, 2012 while she was travelling in Pakistan. If anyone has any information that can help us bring Rajvinder home safely, I beg you to please help.
Her mother and I pray day and night for her safe return.”
