Jowita Zielińska went missing in early July 2024 after being last seen cycling home from her workplace near Rojewo. At the time of her disappearance, she was living with her in-laws following the death of her husband a few years prior. Since then, she has not been in contact with her family, raising concerns about her well-being and safety.

Following her reported disappearance, extensive search efforts were undertaken by local police from Rypin, as well as from Bydgoszcz and the Chief Police Headquarters. The local community has actively participated in the search, demonstrating the impact of her disappearance on the town. Despite these efforts, and more than a year and a half having passed since she was last seen, there has been no significant breakthrough in the case, with the most notable finding being her bicycle discovered in a forest several kilometers from her home.

The family of Jowita Zielińska, particularly her in-laws, have expressed their deep grief, comparing their feelings to that of losing a child. They confront the ongoing uncertainty and anguish of not knowing what happened to her, as their hopes of finding her diminish with each passing day. The situation remains a poignant reminder of how quickly a person's life can change and the lasting impact of such cases on families and communities alike.
