Kinga Wrześniewska was born in 1977 in a small town in the Świętokrzyskie Province. She had two younger siblings. The Wrześniewski family was nothing special. The same could be said about Kinga. Relatives remembered her as a rather shy person. Because of this, she never had many friends.
After graduating from high school, Kinga moved out of the house. She was to start her studies in Krakow. However, the 18-year-old resigned from them after only two months. She didn't even manage to take any of the exams in the first session. Around this time, Wrześniewska met Władysław P. for the first time. The man was 17 years older than his new girlfriend. He worked as an electrician, but it was not his main source of income.
He earned large sums of money through illegal business. He was mainly involved in smuggling Ukrainian cigarettes to Great Britain. In the criminal world, Kinga's partner was known as "Waldi". The young woman knew about his shady activities. It didn't bother her though. Moreover, she helped her boyfriend in business. Wrześniewska traveled to Great Britain several times. Officially, to make money. It is believed that the main reason for these trips was the illegal transport of cigarettes.
The criminal activities of Władysław P. brought large profits. The man decided to invest the money in real estate. No wonder, because it is quite a common form of investing capital. Formally, however, "Waldi" was not the owner of the property. Most of them officially belonged to his sister. Thus, it was more difficult to associate them with his person.
The relationship between Kinga and "Waldi" was very good at first. The couple quickly moved in together. First in Kraków, and then in a house in Skawina, which on paper belonged to Władysław's sister. However, the parents of the young woman did not like this relationship, mainly because of the large age difference. However, Wrześniewska did not want to listen to her relatives, who over time reconciled with her choice.
The idyll was interrupted by the man's arrest. In 2004, he was sentenced to several years in prison for ordering a fatal beating. It is worth adding that "Waldi" was close to getting away with justice. Dozens of people (including King) provided him with an alibi. However, based on the location of the man's phone, the investigators managed to undermine it and prove his connection to the crime.
Thus, running the business fell on Kinga's shoulders. However, the woman did not have such experience and contacts as her partner. The couple's finances were thus severely damaged. The situation changed in 2006. At that time, Władysław's health deteriorated. The man has been temporarily released from prison. After his recovery, he was, of course, going back to prison.
"Waldi", however, had other priorities than his own health (assuming he actually had problems with it). The criminal seized the opportunity and once again headed the illegal practice. He also discovered that his partner was doing poorly in his absence. He held great grudges against her for this. Fights broke out between the partners.
Władysław had the opinion of an aggressive and quick-tempered man. So he could use physical violence against his partner. The man was also very jealous of his girlfriend. It is believed that he accused Kinga of meeting someone in his absence. Despite all these issues, the relationship continued.
In the fall of 2007, Władysław and his beloved celebrated the eleventh anniversary of their relationship. They went first to the cinema and then to a romantic dinner. The day was very successful. Kinga and her boyfriend returned home and went to sleep. However, everything changed dramatically in the middle of the night. The woman suddenly woke up. The reason was that "Waldi" started choking her.
Wrześniewska managed to free herself somehow and run out of the house. The woman then saw a car belonging to a man who rented a room from them. Without thinking, she got into the car and locked it from the inside. Thanks to this, she miraculously managed to avoid death at the hands of her partner. Only then did she realize that she should end this toxic relationship.
So Kinga moved to a summer house in Ściejowice. It belonged to her brother. Fearing for her safety, the woman adopted two large dogs to protect her from a capable partner. She sensed that even after moving out and breaking up, Władysław would not give up so easily.
Shortly after the dramatic incident, "Waldi" returned to detention to finish his previous sentence. Only a few months later, in early 2008, the man was released again due to poor health. Shortly after leaving detention, he contacted Kinga and asked for a meeting. The woman finally agreed to the interview.
During the meeting, the criminal demanded the return of two apartments that officially belonged to his former partner. It is not entirely known whether Kinga and Władysław finally came to an agreement on this issue, and if so, what were the conditions agreed upon by them.
On April 1, 2008, Waldi came to help Kinga with some work on the plot. We know this because the woman sent an email with this information to one of her friends. She also informed that the man went to his place for a while, and then he would come back to her for the night. In the evening, Wrześniewska called her dad.
The next day, Kinga's relatives could not contact her. They were concerned because it was unusual for her. They asked a friend who lived nearby to check if the woman was okay. The man went to the place. He did not find the resident of the summer house there. Her car wasn't there either. The strangest thing, however, was the absence of both dogs, which usually ran around the property. On the other hand, it could mean that Kinga went somewhere for a few days and took the pets with her.
There were also traces of what looked like a bonfire. However, it seemed that some things had been burned in the fire. A friend passed this information on to the family. In mid-April, Kinga's brother, who had previously stayed abroad, appeared in the house. His sister accompanied him. The siblings then checked the inside of the building. What they discovered made them very anxious.
Kinga's room lacked a bed and bedding. The notarial deeds confirming that the woman was the owner of two properties, for which she had previously argued with Władysław, were missing from the house. It also turned out that a fragment of the carpet had been cut out and the floor had been carefully washed. Paint and plaster were removed from the walls with a grinder.
An interesting discovery was also made in front of the building. Traces of a bonfire mentioned earlier by a friend were found there. However, it was not the typical bonfire where most of us fry sausages. In this case, a SIM card, a woman's purse, a rosary and even two metal dog bowls were thrown into the fire.
It seemed that something bad must have happened in Wrześniewska's bedroom, and the perpetrator decided to cover all traces behind him. The family felt that Kinga was not missing but murdered. The relatives immediately contacted "Waldi" and told about the disappearance. The man claimed that he did not know what happened to his ex-partner. He maintained that he had not seen her since March. But it was a lie.
So the case was reported to the police. The investigators decided to check Władysław P. It turned out that on the night of April 1-2 his phone was turned off. Therefore, it was not possible to determine exactly where the man was at the time. This seems significant. Previously, "Waldi" was convicted precisely because, based on the location of his cell, he was proven to have committed a crime.
Investigators also found out that the ex-boyfriend of the missing woman went to the apartments that formally belonged to Kinga. They were previously rented. The man terminated the tenants of their contracts. So he acted as if the apartments were his. He also continued to deny seeing his ex-partner on the day she disappeared.
Two years after the woman's disappearance, there was a discovery that could be a breakthrough in the case. Kinga's car was found in Krakow. It was dusty and the tires had no air. It looked as if no one had used it for a long time. The door of the vehicle was open, but the trunk was closed. But there was nothing important about it. Inside the car, no evidence could be found that could help solve the mystery.
Unfortunately, Kinga has not been found to this day. It's very unlikely she's still alive. She was most likely murdered. The culprit also seems pretty obvious. However, there is no evidence on the basis of which he could be held responsible. In this respect, the story of Wrześniewska resembles, for example, the case of Iwona Mogiła-Lisowska. She also disappeared under unexplained circumstances. She probably fell victim to her husband. However, this was never confirmed by investigators.
