"Who was Anna?
Anna Maciejewska immigrated to the United States from Poland in 1997
to study actuarial mathematics
at the University of Louisville in Kentucky.
She married Gould in 2006,
and the couple welcomed a son seven years later.
Maciejewska, who was 43 when she disappeared,
was incredibly hardworking, detail oriented, and kind,
according to her former coworker and friend Ellen Lee.
'She was an organizer, and she was also a problem solver',
Lee added.
New court documents reveal internally at the time,
Maciejewska was deeply upset about her marriage
and the couple’s differing views on how to raise their son.
Anna Maciejewska
felt she was getting no support from Gould while she experienced depression
and tried to discuss divorce with Gould to little success.
'I am a shell of a person
and walking on eggshells in my own home',
she texted Gould in February.
'Why I didn’t see all the red flags before we had children?'
she wrote to a group chat with her friends the same day, per court documents.
'I feel like such a loser',
she added.

Lee told CNN Maciejewska’s aging parents in Poland
were shocked when they heard the news.
'Anna’s mom didn’t sleep last night',
said Lee, who spoke with her on Thursday.
'They thought it was a cold case,
it was never going to happen',
Lee added.
For Ellen Lee and other friends who loved Maciejewska,
