A Mississauga woman’s disappearance nearly four years ago is now being investigated as a homicide, Peel police announced Monday.
In a news release, investigators said 38-year-old Mezhgan Aini, a married mother of three, was last seen in June of 2022. She lived near Queen Frederica Drive and Dundas Street East and also went by the names “Sara” or “Sarah.”
In June 2025, Peel police said they were contacted by Aini’s family members in Afghanistan, who they said had been unable to reach her for an “extended period.” Aini was listed as a missing person by police that month.
“There’s been no signs of life since June of 2022,” Det. Kevin Robbie told CP24 on Monday.
Robbie wouldn’t say what caused police to update its missing person investigation to a homicide investigation, but said they have identified a suspect.
“We do have a suspect. At this point, I’m not going to divulge who it is,” he said. The suspect has not been arrested.
Robbie said Aini worked in Afghani clothing stores prior to her disappearance.
Police are asking anyone who observed suspicious activity in the area of Aini’s residence between June 2022 and September 2022, who has not yet spoken with police, or who has information about her or her family, to come forward.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact them at 905-453-2121 ext. 3205 or Crime Stoppers.
