And bizarrely, the only items that were taken from his car were Anna’s diary and passport– items that, according to Anna’s stepfather, had been left inside a briefcase in his car.
Authorities looked into this as a possible lead and believed it meant that the girls might have still been alive. However, no suspects were ever found.
Still, Anna and Ernestyna’s parents never gave up searching for their daughters. And one day, after Ernestyna’s mother, Krystyna, saw another missing person’s poster of her daughter, she was shell-shocked.
The poster displayed a photo of Ernestyna that was taken just one or two days before she disappeared. Krystyna knew that the image was recent because her daughter was wearing a new jacket that was bought specifically for the hiking trip. This meant that the picture had to have been taken by a resident of Koscieliska or Zakopane and given to the police.
This led Krystyna to contact the Zakopane authorities and ask who they got the picture from. Unfortunately, though, no officers were able to remember, and the girls’ cases have remained cold ever since.
Anna and Ernestyna’s parents have continued to look for answers– even going so far as searching the trains traveling in and out of Zakopane. But, thirty years later, they have never found another trace of their daughters.
If you have any information regarding Anna and Ernestyna’s disappearance or whereabouts, you are encouraged to contact Polish authorities.
