This is my first post and I hope it is ok. I searched for but did not find this story here. There is quite a bit more to it, but it is written out in story form, like below. I did not know if that would be too long? I could not find much in English. It is mostly in Polish. They have apprehend a man for this crime.


"On a cold winter morning on January 7, 1999, Miroslaw M., a tugboat operator opened a hatch on the Los, a barge pusher on the Vistula, to remove what was stuck in the propeller since last evening. He expected to find a tire or a tree branch, but what he saw was something different. He wondered what the object was; of nondescript, pale color and sack-like appearance, when he felt a foul smell and noticed a human ear.

As it later turned out, what M. found were the remains of 23-year-old Religion Knowledge student, Katarzyna Zowada*. Specifically, her skin, neatly cut away at the thighs and neck, reaching only as far as the left ear, without the face and arms. Her nipples were also absent. There was an oblique seam going from under the right breast to the left shoulder. The coroner said the body had been in the water for about 2 or 3 weeks before she was found. Pieces of her sweater were also at the scene. A week later, Katarzyna's leg was found near a hydroelectric dam also on the Vistula, among some floating litter and tree branches. No other remains of her have ever been found. Some of her clothes have: pieces of jeans and a flannel shirt with a square cut out."

What is very interesting abut this story, murderer was found just this year, and he was arested on Octobe. It was a huge mystery for 18 years, until special police investigation unit (they are called The X Files, because they work with unsolved cases from far past) restarted an investigation in 2012. Polish police asked FBI for help with this case, and FBI pofilers who described him as "harmless weirdo"... It's a huge relief, that this disgusting human, was finally caught.

Some additional info from polish articles (cause I'm a native speaker ):
- he kidnapped her and held captive in some shed on the suburbs
- most likely she was still alive while skinning
- they were in a relationship
- the remains were cut like a body (i mean that piece of clothing)
- he has history with abusing animals
- expelled from school because he was acting problematic
- had some weird fetishes
- very religious person

recording of his arresting if someone's interested
