EIGHT years and a press conference was at 3 PM. Here is the video from the presser:
I never thought this day would come. I have been writing about a woman I never met for 8 years. When I got the text from a reporter I know I started to cry. I know it might sound dumb because I did not know her, but when you write about someone for eight years, you start to feel like you knew her. Ironically yesterday I shared the post I wrote in February to mark the coming of the 8 year anniversary.
Today authorities swarmed the house she built in Malvern where her husband Allan Jay Gould still lived with her little boy, Andrew. I hope Andrew is Ok.
Justice for Anna Maciejewska is long overdue.
Here is the Inquirer article:

Appreciate you keeping this story fresh, and keeping Anna’s memory current these past eight years. I also appreciate Anna’s co-workers for all of their efforts through the years, as they in no small way kept Anna from being forgotten.
I worked with Anna from 2007-2015 and, for a number of those years, she reported to me (albeit indirectly through another person). I was deeply concerned at her disappearance, and equally troubled by the lack of perceived effort/urgency by both the local authorities and the district attorney (at the time). For example, her car was found mere feet from her direct manager’s home – not that he had anything to do with her disappearance – but the fact that so little work was done to make this connection, and that he wasn’t even consulted as part of a canvas, is testimony to Hogan et al and their lack of commitment to justice in Anna’s case. Who knows how much physical evidence was lost due to this complacency over the days, months, and years? I can only hope that the state’s case is stronger than circumstantial evidence and flimsy reliance on meager forensics.
AG is innocent until proven guilty, but his behavior is, at best, reprehensible; insomuch as an innocent and loving husband and father would have done everything to find Anna from the first day (..she went missing, not when her co-workers reported her missing). Speaking for myself, his guilt was presumed from the beginning. I have little to offer but anecdotes about Anna’s state-of-mind concerning him (e.g., her being unusually frantic and panicked in my presence being late to pick him up from the train; being unusually upset in coordinating Poland trips with him); but the summation of those anecdotes over many years are concerning, to say the least.
My sincere condolences to her family in Poland, her friends, and her son. I hope that with Allan’s arrest this can begin to bring closure to what, presumably, was a horrific, unfair, and tragic end to a young mother’s life.
Thank you for being so dedicated to this woman’s memory from the start. If not for your efforts, I wonder if anyone would remember the neighbor who went missing eight years ago. We should all be so lucky, if there but for the grace of God…
