Beata Klimek was last seen on October 7th when she walked her three children to their school bus. Following this, she was expected at her job at a local bank but never arrived. Concerned by her absence, her employer was unable to reach her, and by 8:40 AM, her phone was no longer active. Reports suggest that Beata returned home briefly after seeing her children off, but there has been no trace of her since.

Numerous search activities have been conducted at her husband’s family home in Poradz, Western Pomerania. Police and fire brigade personnel were observed on-site, conducting investigations under the guidance of the Szczecin District Prosecutor’s Office. In an effort to find clues, authorities have even resorted to draining a small pond and a septic tank nearby.

The situation is further complicated by Beata’s ongoing divorce from her husband, Jan Klimek. The couple had been married for 26 years before separating, and the divorce proceedings include debated blame on the husband’s part, attributed to his new relationship with another woman. Jan had moved out to a nearby town over a year ago.

Family members have grown increasingly anxious and organized a private investigation funded by a collection drive initiated by Beata’s niece, emphasizing the urgency and distress surrounding the case. Despite multiple search efforts, including large-scale volunteer actions, no tangible information about Beata’s fate has surfaced.

The district prosecutor’s office has launched a full investigation, although details of its scope remain undisclosed, maintaining confidentiality over their ongoing processes. This case has garnered significant media attention, notably for its complex familial dynamics and the conspicuous involvement of several investigative bodies.

As the search intensifies, the community and Beata’s family remain hopeful for resolution, urging anyone with relevant information to come forward and assist the investigation.
