His cell phone was eventually checked, but since it had been back at his place in Newport the night this happened, there wasn't anything helpful. Calls and texts from earlier that week seemed pretty standard, too. Basic convos, checking in with friends, and asking what's up. The official searches eventually came to a halt with no luck.

It sounds like investigators were leaning towards a theory that did not involve foul play. Whether he died by suicide or had an accident and was swept out to sea never to be found, I think many people in the community assumed Wojtek was no longer alive. But more than seven months later, in July of 2009, someone left Wojtek's mom a message that suggested otherwise.

The handwriting was sloppy, almost childlike. You can take a look for yourself. We have pictures of the notes on the blog post for this episode. The writing was compared to known samples from Wojtek, but Detective Prest told us they didn't match up.

According to the case files, only a day before finding the notes, Anna also reported their car had been broken into, the car that used to belong to Wojtek. It's possible some change may have been taken from it, but besides that, there wasn't really anything else to steal. She said the seat had been moved back, as if someone had been inside.

In the case files, it seems like there may have been an attempt to compare Wojtek's fingerprints to those found in the car after it was broken into, but I can't tell whatever came of it. Plus, I would expect Wojtek's prints to be there anyways, since he used to drive the car.

And Wojtek's cousin Beata also agrees it's suspicious.

Months passed, then another year, and the Fudali family was left waiting for something else to come about that would help them hold on to hope. Even if it couldn't be proven that the notes were actually from their son or not, I'm sure there was a longing for things to just get shaken up again, anything to propel the stagnant case forward.
