Iwona Wieczorek’s case
In July it was 12 years since Iwona Wieczorek went missing. The case is currently being investigated by prosecutors from the X-Files, operating in the Malopolska Regional Division of the Department for Organised Crime and Corruption of the National Public Prosecutor’s Office in Krakow.
Iwona Wieczorek was last seen on the night of 16-17 July 2010. The then 19-year-old girl had gone with friends to a club in Sopot after a barbecue. After leaving the disco, she was walking home alone in Gdańsk. She was registered by CCTV cameras in several places, but the girl has never come home. A 12-year search failed to turn up any trace of her.
