About this episode

In April of 2017, a 43-year-old woman in Pennsylvania was getting ready to take a trip to her native Poland to visit her father for his birthday. Then, just before she was set to leave on the trip, she canceled via text, simply stating that she wouldn’t be able to come. But her parents point out that the text was sent in broken Polish, despite it being her first language. When her car was found abandoned, a homicide investigation began. This is the story of Anna Maciejewska.
