Friends and customers gathered to remember Shilan Shahbazian at her former workplace on Tuesday night. Inside Kim’s Nails and Spa, people recalled stories and interactions from their time spent with the 26-year-old. “She was strikingly beautiful to look at,” Jenifer Ducharme, a Kim’s Nails customer told CTV News. “She was hilarious, she was more beautiful inside than out. She was the whole package.” Originally, Shahbazian moved to Canada for a better life, where she could work while obtaining an education.
In their first interactions, Ducharme said Shahbazian was often quiet due to a language barrier. Over time, the two began using Google Translate or hand gestures to better communicate. “She often talked about her family and friends back home,” Ducharme said. After going missing for more than two months, on March 21, Windsor police announced they had located Shahbazian’s body. Police noted they did not suspect foul play in her death.
