FWIW You can get around the fencing at the turnpike by cutting a short distance to the right, cross over the bridge on Bodine Rd, that crosses the TPK, then back onto the right of way ( utility cut).
I pass by that cut twice a day. It just keeps giving me a bad case of the "feels"....(illogical, I know) Right now, it's pretty overgrown with vegetation, but they're predicting an early and unusually cold Autumn this year.

But it is so much easier to just walk along the roadways! I know there are no shoulders much of the way, but why risk getting caught on private property? Just seems unlikely to me.

I'm not familiar with the area, so this question isn't rhetorical. Would the risk of getting caught on the private utility cut be greater than the risk of being seen walking along the roadway? (Are these heavily traveled roads? How frequently are the utility cuts checked or maintained?)

Just to expand on that, the risk with the utility cut would be an immediate one, while the risk along the roadway would be a delayed one if/when LE requested tips from the public. I'm thinking in terms of an overly paranoid perp who may believe that a public route between the car and house locations would be quickly identified (and, thus, tips/sightings solicited). Which would seem a greater risk in that person's mind? (Again, not a rhetorical question. Just mulling ideas around in my head.)

ETA: I am just now joining the discussion, but have been following along with you all since April. I haven't had much worth adding, in part, because I suspect we are seeing even less of the iceberg tip than usual. For Anna and her family's sake, I hope I am right and that LE has this puzzle far more solved than they are publicly revealing.

If the traveler were moving under the cover of darkness, I think they would take the road. And hide if headlights appeared. jmo
 
Knowing what I know about the vegetation in right-of-ways, I wonder if someone had a bad case of poison ivy, oak or sumac for a few days?
 
These are the types of questions I'm praying LE has been asking, but that we just aren't hearing about.

I think the best way I can answer this is to say that I might well have seen a man walking along Valley Hill Road when she first went missing. I can't remember if I did or didn't! I would not have thought anything of it at the time. People walk that road all the time. Same with Bodine. Even at night. 401 is much less pedestrian friendly, but people do walk along it.

The right of way that goes to the cell tower is used about once a month by vehicles. I don't know how often the power line is checked.

I'm no psychologist, but for as long as I've been reading here, there seems to be two ways "most" perps go. They either completely avoid any contact or they are over-the-top appearing to care and help.

Relation Perp Avoid example - Will Cierzan
Relation Perp Help example - Scott Peterson

I'm sure we could list 100 for each example. There are sometimes gray area too, but we do not usually find out the truth of the situation with those.

Thanks for your insight, I appreciate that!!! Those of you who have been here on WS for awhile sure have a good collection of mental info!! 😉

I'm curious then though, for you long-timers, what about innocent significant others, does their behavior follow a typical pattern?? Or extremes, grey areas?

Thanks for joining in!!! Anna and her family and friends can use all the help they can get.

I've been hoping the same thing. But also wondering what piece of the puzzle they need to bring closure to Anna's family, so that the public could be helping to actively find that piece, if possible.
 
I know this is a very different story:
‘The police knew another girl had died in his bed’: one family's pursuit of their daughter's killer https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...-died-in-his-bed-robert-trigg-susan-nicholson
And it happened to UK parents and it was UK police not doing its investigation properly and timely.

However, I could not stop thinking about Anna and her parents while reading. Who is in charge of these LE specialists? Can we help Anna's parents file a complaint?

I think "professionals" not being professional is common in US as much as anywhere else. There must be a way to "restart" the investigation with someone new and more eager to complete it quickly. I am running out of patience checking this thread.

There is no way to "restart" a criminal case with a different investigative team, unless it were to go from local/ state law enforcement to a federal jurisdiction, and even then it must meet a certain criteria. That criteria would include things like a person/ body being taken out of state, or evidence of extreme corruption on the part of law enforcement. At the moment, NONE of those things appears to have happened.

While your frustration is understandable, you need to keep in mind that the wheels are constantly turning behind the scenes, and law enforcement almost ALWAYS knows much, much more than what is made public. In some ways, facts and findings must be kept private because in the end, the goal is a solid conviction, if in fact, a crime has been committed.

I am a native Pennsylvanian. I lived within 2 hours of where Anna disappeared for most of my life. Local police and state police in that area are well respected. I can guarantee you they are working diligently to bring Anna home, and that if a crime was in fact committed, they are working to bring the perpetrator to justice.
 
I absolutely respect preserving the integrity of a case in effort to realizing justice, but Anna needs to be found as the priority. Her parents and son deserve closure.
 
Could there still be a possibility that LE discovered something at the house despite not publicly hearing of anything as of yet?
 
Absolutely. And, I'm banking on it.
 
Funny that there were mistakes in the texts sent in Polish- Anna's native language. It is getting easier and easier to connect the dots.

Bingo!
Btw: the dates in the article are wrong. The mother called on April 8 not the 1st and he told her to call Monday.
 
Depends what time of day you'd chose to leave the car. You could park it shortly before dawn when it's still dark and everyone's asleep, say on a weekend when they're more likely to be sleeping late. Then as it starts to get light, walk back . I don't see many private properties adjacent to the cut. Be interesting if someone could get permission to look back there. Maybe they already have. I'm too disabled to do any kind of hiking these days.

Some points of interest from the article:
Maciejewska communicated regularly with her parents in Poland. On March 27, she spoke with Janina on the phone about coming for a surprise visit for Zygmunt’s 80th birthday—she had a present for him. “Anna, if you come home, it’s the best present,” Janina told her.

On March 29, Anna told her mother she couldn’t fly out—and that she missed them. A day later, Zygmunt got a birthday text message from Anna in Polish with two mistakes. “Anna knew Polish,” says Zygmunt.

“It’s impossible for Anna to do this mistake.”

On April 8—a Saturday—Janina called Gould and asked to speak to Anna. He said Anna would call her on Monday. She wondered, “Why not Sunday?”

Janina called again on Monday. “I have no idea where she is,” Gould told her. “She didn’t come back.”

Anna had taken two weeks off from work. But, according to state police, she didn’t return on April 10, her first day back. Three days later, Janina arrived in the area to help Gould with her grandson and search for Anna. Her stay on Hedgerow Lane was abbreviated. Janina was “disgusted” when Gould went on with an Easter celebration. During Janina’s spells of crying, he told her, “She’ll come back.”

Thereafter, Janina moved to a Residence Inn in Malvern.

Lt. William Donahue of the State Police in Embreeville echoed similar sentiments. Is he confident that she’ll be found? “I’ve been involved in a lot of investigations, including murder investigations,” he says. “We’re hopeful she’s going to be found.’

“Unfortunately, I think she is not alive,” says Janina. “I am looking for her body. I want to take her body to Poland.”
