Summary:
Malgorzata Wnuczek was a Polish woman who disappeared from Leicester, England, on 28 May 2006. She was 27 years old when she went missing. She was last seen catching a bus from her workplace at Peter Jackson Logistics on Sunningdale Road, Leicester, to travel into Leicester city center. In October 2025, human remains were discovered and confirmed to be Ms Wnuczek.
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Offense:
Malgorzata's parents, who live in Poland, last spoke to her by telephone on 28 May 2006. The last contact she had with her family was via text message on 29 May, 2006. Ms Wnuczek was last seen getting on a bus at Peter Jackson Logistics in Sunningdale Road, Braunstone Frith, to travel into Leicester city after work on Wednesday, 31 May, 2006. She lived with her husband and 2-year-old daughter in the Knighton Fields area of Leicester.
Additional Details:
In June, they reported her as missing to the Polish police. Her disappearance was reclassified as a murder investigation by Leicester Police in 2009. Ten years later, in 2016, both her family and police made an appeal for information. In June 2023, police began searching the River Soar after Polish police gave information to the East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU). During that stage of the investigation a 39-year-old man was arrested in the Greater Manchester area on suspicion of assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice and later released with no further action. In September 2025, Leicester Police received new information that prompted them to begin a fresh search for Malgorzata. In October 2025, officers discovered human remains in the search for Malgorzata in an area in Leicester. The remains were found in scrublands off the Great Central Way in October and sent off for forensic testing - and on Tuesday, Leicestershire Police confirmed the remains were of Ms Wnuczek. Police remain in contact with Ms Wnuczek's family and are providing support to them. The investigation into Malgorzata's death remains very much open and is ongoing. Police believe there are people living in Leicester's Polish communities who know what happened to Malgorzata.
