Polish Woman Found After 27 Years in Isolation Returns Home as Probe Finds No Proof of Captivity

Prosecutors say evidence does not yet show she was held against her will.

Overview

  • Police discovered the 42-year-old in July during a call to her parents’ apartment and sent her to hospital with severe leg infections and malnutrition.
  • Treating doctors said she was only days from death, and she has been receiving medical and psychological care.
  • Investigators cite contradictory statements from Mirella and report no charges to date, noting no basis so far to trigger a Blue Card domestic-violence procedure.
  • Organizers say a pomagam.pl fundraiser has collected about 54,886 złoty (roughly €13,000) to support her treatment and reintegration.
  • Reports indicate she lacked identity documents for years and has now returned to her parents’ home despite doctors’ advice to remain in care.
