A girl who was reported missing at the age of 15 in Poland was found to have actually been locked in a room in her family's house. A 42-year-old woman named "Mirella" was rescued after 27 years.
MISSING REPORT FILED IN 1998
Mirella's family, living in the city of Swietochlowice, reported to the police in 1998 that their daughter, who was only 15 years old at the time, had gone missing. After years of silence, the truth was revealed by the police who entered the house following a noise complaint a few days ago.
SHE COULD ONLY SAY "EVERYTHING IS FINE"
The police found Mirella locked in a room on the upper floor of the house. It was reported that the woman was extremely weak and had wounds on her legs that had progressed to the bone. Mirella, who spent all those years in that room, could only respond to the police's offer of 'let us help' by saying, "Everything is fine."
CAME CLOSE TO DEATH
The teams realized that the woman's condition was serious and called an ambulance. Mirella, who was taken to the hospital, was said to be on the brink of death due to an infection, and it was stated that if they had been a few days later, she would not have survived.
NEIGHBORS ARE SHOCKED: SHE USED TO PLAY WITH ME
Neighborhood residents stated that they last saw Mirella as a child and described her as a very cheerful and healthy girl at that time. One neighbor expressed her shock by saying, "When she was taken out of the house, she looked like an old woman. Yet she was once a child who played with me in the street."
AID CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED
After her treatment in the hospital, an aid campaign was launched for Mirella. The aid organizer, Aleksandra Salbert, said, "Mirella has no official records. She has no identity, insurance, or even money. The system has treated her as if she never existed." Salbert called for support, saying, "We had to buy her clothes, medicine, and even shoes. She will have to start her life from scratch."
INJURED NOT ONLY PHYSICALLY BUT ALSO PSYCHOLOGICALLY
Authorities emphasized that Mirella needs a long-term rehabilitation process not only physically but also psychologically. Efforts are ongoing to reintegrate the woman, who had no contact with the outside world for 27 years, back into society.
