Pennsylvania man arrested for wife’s murder eight years after her disappearance

In Pennsylvania, a man named Allen Gould was arrested for the murder of his wife, Anna Maciejewska, who disappeared in 2017. The couple's son was only four years old when his mother went missing. Evidence presented by prosecutors indicates that Maciejewska stopped her normal activities on March 29, with the last confirmed sighting and communication on March 28. Following her disappearance, Gould reportedly sent a text from her phone to her father in Poland, which prosecutors allege he fabricated, as it contained grammatical errors in Polish. Investigators found a printout of the same text in Gould's home. Additionally, police discovered that Maciejewska’s car had not been driven on the day she supposedly left for work. Reports show that Gould had been in the process of writing checks to secure a criminal defense attorney and searching online for information about strangulation after reporting his wife missing. His story has raised questions, especially since Maciejewska’s body has never been found. Court documents reveal that she was unhappy in her marriage, was visiting numerous websites relating to divorce, and had expressed a desire to separate from Gould. Evidence also indicates that the couple had disagreements regarding the upbringing of their son, who possesses dual citizenship, a topic that created tension between them. Gould’s arrest comes after several years of investigation. Prosecutors state they have substantial evidence proving his guilt, despite the absence of physical remains. The case highlights not only the allegation of murder but also the intricate personal dynamics involved. Gould's defense claims he only wishes to clear his name, while the court prepares for the preliminary hearing scheduled for May 27.
