Prosecutors have opened an Article 155 inquiry pending histology and toxicology results.

  • Magdalena Majtyka, 42, disappeared on March 4 after saying she would meet an old school friend, and her body was later found in woodland near Biskupice Oławskie.
  • Her Opel Corsa was located crashed and abandoned on a forest road, and her remains were discovered about 650 feet from the vehicle.
