Overview
- Specialist teams uncovered remains on October 8 in scrubland off Great Central Way near Watkin Road, where a police cordon and searches remain in place.
- Leicestershire Police say it is unknown whether the remains are those of Malgorzata Wnuczek, with identification to follow forensic analysis.
- Detectives launched the latest dig on September 30 after information from colleagues at KWP Bydgoszcz, with liaison between UK and Polish authorities continuing.
- Wnuczek, 27 at the time, was last seen on May 31, 2006 after boarding a bus from her job at Peter Jackson Logistics, two days after her final text to family.
- Officers note a 2023 River Soar search and a 39-year-old's arrest led to no further action; no arrests are linked to the new find as police appeal to Leicester’s Polish community for information.
