We haven’t talked about Anna Maciejewska in a while have we?
While most of us never knew her, we came to feel as if we did know her because she was a member of our community and a mother to a beautiful little boy who will forever miss having her in his life.
It’s like law enforcement (Pennsylvania State Police) and the Chester County District Attorney’s office just gave up on her or forgot her, didn’t they? And yes, I realize they’ve had a lot of stuff going on these past few years. But Anna still matters to people. And the community at large and her family, especially her little boy (who will never really know her other than a lady in a photograph) and family from Poland deserve answers and closure.
She’s missing /presumed dead/murdered 5 years as of this past April, 2022.
I don’t want to say our justice system and law enforcement has failed her, but have they?
The media hasn’t covered her in forever. Dateline NBC must not think she is newsworthy enough and she is quite LITERALLY “Missing in America”. There is a show on Hulu called Missing. Well producers, Anna is “Missing” and has been for 7 years. Unsolved Mysteries? Hey now producers of that show, Anna IS an “Unsolved Mystery”.
There is nothing more to add. Anna Maciejewska Gould is still #missing.
It has been a long time since Anna Maciejewska disappeared. That was April, 2017. I write about her from time to time as my readers know. I last wrote about her this past April.
I know nothing new, she just happened to randomly popped into my head today. I was looking at some thing that CBS3 Philadelphia does called CBS3 Mysteries. It made me realize while local media is continuing to cover other long term missing persons, Anna once again seems forgotten.
In a local community group, someone else was thinking about her too at the end of July and said in part:
📌📌Anna Maciejewska (wife of Allen Gould) is still missing.
If anyone has any about what happened or suggestions on where to look if foul play happened, please contact the Pennsylvania State Police at 610-486-6280. A reward of $30K is available.
Anna moved to Malvern (Charlestown township area) from Poland, got married, and had one child. She was employed in the area, and disappeared one day. Her family in Poland is heartbroken over her disappearance. She was first reported missing on 4/12/17 and last seen on 4/10/17. It’s likely she was missing ~2 weeks before this….I don’t want her to be forgotten because her family isn’t here to advocate for her.
Someone did another Anna video a few months ago. I don’t know the person and have not seen the video all the way through. But here is the link: https://youtu.be/yoifDpC_yXE
Obviously Anna is still on all of our minds, still. I wonder what she would think of COVID-19 and the lives we have all led since it entered our world?
I wonder how her little boy is? He’s getting bigger and if he still has memories of Anna, they are fading for sure, aren’t they?
I wonder how Anna’s parents are in Poland and her family there? COVID-19 meant they couldn’t come here and look for her anymore, and I don’t even know how much of that would’ve been possible given the health challenges that have been reported about her poor parents.
And then there is her husband. I kind of dance around the subject of Allen Gould because he’s never been charged has he? He’s still just a person of interest isn’t he? How can he live his state of limbo?
Well that’s it. I just randomly thought of a woman from our own extended community that most of us, myself included, never knew or met. But what happened to her could happen to any of us and anyone we know.
I think part of the reason why I thought of her is as I have said before, I have female friends who were born in Poland. Two of them still have family in Poland. This summer was the first time since before COVID-19 took over our lives that they were able to take their children to Poland to see their family, to see their grandparents.
Local, regional, and national media. There are so many shows that could cover her and this case. I wish they would.
Anyway, Anna we still think of you and pray and hope you will be found. You matter, Anna Maciejewska.
So no one believes Anna Maciejewska Gould is still alive, right? But when I saw my female Polish friends posting about Easter preparation’s and their kids dying eggs I thought of Anna and her son. A son who now probably has zero memory of his mother. He has missed so many Easters now with his mother’s disappearance and probable death/murder. He ailing parents, separated from their grandson because of illness and a year of COVID-19.
What are the Pennsylvania State Police doing? Or the Chester County District Attorney?
I would love to ask current Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan for an update but don’t know how to do it. I also don’t want to sound like a bitch dogging law enforcement and the district attorney, but lordy people, is there any news?
I know “ongoing investigations” means folks in the know are tight lipped, but I think of Anna’s elderly parents and in the COVID-19 world in which we live and they live many thousands of miles away. When is the last time they saw their beloved grandson? He must be so big now, right? It makes you wonder if he has any memories of his beloved mother and if his father keeps her memory alive? Allen Gould, the perpetual puzzle, right? Anna’s presumed widower at this point and he has never really spoken of her has he?
Anna Maciejewska Gould has been missing FOUR LONG YEARS in just EIGHT days. As you celebrate Easter with your family and your children remember a woman who can’t celebrate any more holidays with her beloved child. I’m sure the authorities would wish we didn’t remember Anna because we do and we wonder what it is they are actually doing at this point, and what I personally suspect is not very much. Very unpleasant opinion but I am entitled to it.
Anna, I never met you. But I haven’t forgotten about you and on Easter Sunday may God have mercy upon your soul. Niech cię Bóg błogosławi.
I have been writing about Anna Maciejewska for what? Over three years at this point? I was thinking about her again recently as I was watching some crime solving mystery show hosted by Paula Zahn on Discovery ID. Then I stumbled across this random You Tube by someone unknown.
There hasn’t been any media coverage since December, 2019 when 6 ABC ran this:
This report was done as Mike Noone and Tom Hogan were winding up their time in the Chester County District Attorney’s Office. I know Mike a little bit and I can tell you this case always weighed on him and Tom Hogan. People love to be hard on these offices but this investigation is also the responsibility of the Pennsylvania State Police. When is the last time we heard from them? Is the case still active or is it just gathering dust as the proverbial unsolved mystery on a shelf in a storage room somewhere?
Sorry not sorry, it bothers me. It always has. You watch news report after news report of other missing women. You see their cases worked on and resolved, why not Anna Maciejewska? Why doesn’t she matter?

And then there is Dateline NBC, 48 Hours on CBS and 20/20 on ABC. Can we get ANY of these people interested?
I just think that is what it is going to take to get this moving again. National media coverage. Other missing women get it, why NOT Anna Maciejewska?
Crimestoppers PA still has a page up about Anna. The Finding Anna Facebook page is still up. And everything is kind of frozen in time. Waiting for justice for Anna Maciejewska Gould.
Please contact the Chester County District Attorney’s office, the Pennsylvania State Police and any media outlet you can think of especially on a national level. It is way past time to bring Anna home and provide her family with closure.
I never knew Anna. But I have three women who are friends of mine who are from Poland. Like Anna, highly educated. Like Anna, they emigrated to the US for a better life. But unlike Anna, they are still alive and I am so lucky to have them in my life.
Anna we haven’t forgotten you. Even if we never met you. We want you to come home for your family. For your memory. For your son. That little boy deserves more than a question mark next to your name as he grows up.
