Nearly two years after her disappearance, the body of 70-year-old Stanisława S., the godmother of Tomasz Komenda, has been found. For a long time the woman had been considered missing. Ultimately, her remains were discovered in a municipal apartment in Wrocław where she had lived alone. During that entire period, no one thoroughly checked the premises despite signals from neighbors and a reported disappearance.
Gruesome Discovery in the Bathroom
On December 8, 2025, a cleaning crew entered Stanisława S.’s apartment to prepare it for a new tenant. While cleaning, workers found the woman’s mummified body in the bathroom, next to the bathtub.
The family is shocked that earlier — despite several entries into the apartment — no one noticed the body. Relatives also point to the disappearance of documents, money, and jewelry belonging to the deceased.
Grzegorz, the woman’s son, claims he was not allowed into the apartment and was not given information about the items that had been inside. According to him, no inventory report listing his mother’s belongings was prepared.
“When I asked where the report listing my mother’s belongings was, I was told there wasn’t one. I cannot find out what happened to the family keepsakes. There was always some money at home, my mother wore gold jewelry — a chain with a medallion and rings,” he told Gazeta Wyborcza.
Neighbors Noticed the Disappearance
The first signals that something might have happened to the woman came from neighbors. The ailing senior rarely left her home, but in the spring of 2024 no one had seen her for many months.
The family only learned about the situation a year later, when the housing administration began actions related to rent arrears and a planned eviction. A notice about a planned “official entry” into the apartment was posted on the door. Initially, the police did not want to accept a missing-person report. It was only accepted in May last year.
What Do the Municipal Housing Authority and Police Say?
The Municipal Housing Authority stated that it had no knowledge that a missing person might have been inside the apartment. The police, in turn, explained that during earlier official openings of the premises they did not come across the body, which is why no additional inspection was carried out.
