The 31-year-old left her home in the village of Lisiny (Rypin County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship) and never returned. Her remains were found by passersby on July 18, though the circumstances of her death remain unknown.<\/p>\n<h4>Investigators Interview and Test Neighbors<\/h4>\n<p>On Tuesday, August 11, officers took local residents for questioning. &#8220;Police took three neighbors at a time into a car and drove them to Bydgoszcz to test them on a lie detector. After a few hours, they returned and took the next ones,&#8221; a resident of Lisiny told a &#8220;Fakt&#8221; reporter. Earlier, some members of Mrs. Jowita&#8217;s husband&#8217;s family underwent polygraph testing.<\/p>\n<h4>Awaiting Expert Opinions and DNA Results<\/h4>\n<p>Prosecutor Jacek Lasi\u0144ski from the District Prosecutor&#8217;s Office in Rypin confirmed to &#8220;Fakt&#8221; that investigators questioned the neighbors. &#8220;We are now waiting for expert opinions. We are also waiting for further DNA test results,&#8221; the prosecutor said. It is known that authorities are &#8220;conducting parallel actions,&#8221; but the prosecutor could not discuss them for the good of the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n<h4>Remains Found Near the Home<\/h4>\n<p>The woman lived with the parents of her deceased husband, as we wrote in Gazeta.pl. Based on CCTV footage, investigators established that while returning home, the 31-year-old entered a nearby forest. On August 10, 2024, police found Jowita Zieli\u0144ska&#8217;s bicycle in the forest near the village of Wierzchowiska.<\/p>\n<h4>Discovery by Mushroom Pickers<\/h4>\n<p>On July 18 of this year, mushroom pickers found the woman&#8217;s remains in a forest in Lisiny, a few hundred meters from her place of residence. &#8220;The police arrived and started digging to make sure they were human remains. They dug it up, saw a bra and we didn&#8217;t see anything else,&#8221; recounted Mr. Krzysztof in TVN&#8217;s &#8220;Uwaga,&#8221; who found the remains along with his brother. The men claimed they had been mushroom picking in the same place for years, but had not noticed anything disturbing before.<\/p>\n<h4>Personal Items and DNA Confirmation<\/h4>\n<p>&#8220;Uwaga&#8221; journalists unofficially established that a necklace, a medallion with the letter of the woman&#8217;s husband&#8217;s name, and a ring were found near Mrs. Jowita&#8217;s remains, which already suggested at the time that the bones might belong to her. After several weeks, preliminary DNA test results dispelled any doubts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the discovery of 31-year-old Jowita Zieli\u0144ska&#8217;s remains in Lisiny, investigators have subjected local neighbors to lie detector tests as the investigation into her mysterious death continues.
