Overview

  • Allen Gould, 60, was arrested on May 14, 2025, and charged with first-degree murder and evidence tampering in connection with the 2017 disappearance of his wife, Anna Maciejewska.
  • Prosecutors allege Gould faked a birthday text to Maciejewska’s father using Google Translate, despite her fluency in Polish, to create the illusion she was alive after March 28, 2017.
  • Investigators found inconsistencies in Gould's account, including claims about her leaving for work on April 10, 2017, which were contradicted by vehicle data showing her car was never driven that day.
  • Evidence of marital discord, including divorce paperwork and Maciejewska’s research on emotional abuse and custody concerns, reportedly supports a motive for the alleged crime.
  • Gould is being held without bail, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for May 27, 2025, as prosecutors rely on circumstantial evidence and digital forensics in this no-body case.
