10 Years After Nadia Malik's Death, Her Family Still Seeks Answers

Ten years have passed since the body of Nadia Malik, a 22-year-old mother, was discovered in a parked car near Philadelphia's 30th Street Station. Despite a civil lawsuit and years of investigation, her mysterious death remains unsolved. Her family continues to seek justice, haunted by unanswered questions and unresolved suspicions.

The Discovery of Nadia Malik's Body

Nadia Malik was last seen alive on Feb. 9, 2014, in the company of her boyfriend, Bhupinder Singh. Eleven days later, her body was found inside a black Nissan Altima, parked under layers of snow and parking tickets. The discovery of her body, positioned face down and partially covered by a bag of clothes, raised immediate suspicions. Toxicology reports were inconclusive, leaving the official cause and manner of death undetermined.

A Troubled Relationship

Nadia's relationship with Bhupinder Singh was marked by turmoil and alleged abuse. Her family noted that Singh had a history of controlling behavior and drug problems. In the months leading up to her death, Malik had expressed a desire to leave Singh. At one point, she fled to her family's home, only to return after sustaining broken ribs, injuries her family believed were inflicted by Singh.

Singh was reportedly the last person seen with Nadia. During the days of her disappearance, Singh sent a series of taunting messages to her family, demanding small amounts of money and claiming Nadia was with him. These messages only added to the family's fears, and they believed she had died on Feb. 9, the day she vanished.

The Civil Lawsuit and Singh's Disappearance

In 2016, Nadia Malik's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Bhupinder Singh, accusing him of harming Nadia and leaving her to die. The family sought answers about her final days, but Singh never responded to any subpoenas or appeared in court. The court awarded the family a $10 million judgment in 2018, but Singh had disappeared by then, vanishing after failing to report to his parole officer two years prior. Despite their legal victory, the Malik family expressed disappointment, as they sought closure, not money.

Ongoing Investigation

Despite the years of investigation, no criminal charges have been filed in connection with Nadia Malik's death. Police have continued to investigate, reviewing surveillance footage and conducting forensic tests, but crucial evidence, such as a working theory on how she died, remains elusive. Singh, who fled while on probation, remains a person of interest, but his whereabouts are unknown.

A Family's Search for Justice

A decade after Nadia Malik's death, her family is still searching for the truth. They've offered a $50,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for her death. Despite these efforts, Nadia's case remains unsolved, with no official cause of death determined. Meanwhile, Gagan Singh continues to live freely.

Malik's family hopes that one day new evidence will emerge to solve the mystery of her death and bring them the closure they desperately seek. The case, though cold, remains open, as her family refuses to give up on the pursuit of justice.
