One day in southwest Poland, there were a couple fishermen, and one of them noticed something floating, and then the other came over, and they realized it was a body. And there was a noose around the neck, and the hands had obviously been tied behind their back. There was no doubt that the figure had been murdered.
This is author David Graham. The men who found the body called the police, who came to remove it.
It was decayed, and it was evidence once the pathologist looked at the person that they also had lacked food in them. So somebody had clearly deprived the person of nourishment, some indications that they had been beaten and tortured. And there was something very peculiar the way the noose was around the neck. and the hands were tied behind the back. At one point, the rope had been cut in the middle, but it was clear that the person had been held with the hands connected to the noose in the back, almost like a backward cradle, so a very, very painful position, so that if the figure had moved at all or struggled to move, they would have been choking themselves. It was clear that the body had been through a lot.
It suggested almost an anger. It did not seem like some detached murder.
The man seemed to be in his 30s, was tall, and had long dark hair and blue eyes. He matched the description of someone who'd been reported missing, a man named Darius Anishevsky. Darius was from the city of Wrocław, 60 miles away, and had last been seen about four weeks earlier, on November 13, 2000.
He was a young businessman in his 30s. He worked in advertising. He was married. He was known as kind of a happy, cheerful. He played guitar, got along with people, no history of violence, very personable.
Darius's wife didn't want to see the body, so the police brought in his mother, and she confirmed it was him. Where had he last been seen?
He had last been seen leaving his business. He had left in the afternoon around 4 p.m., if my memory is correct, and then was seen leaving the building. He didn't take his car, a Peugeot, which was unusual for him because he normally, when he was going to run an errand or do something, he always took his car. He did not take his car with him, and that was the last time he was seen.
What did his family think? I mean, when they reported him missing, what did they think had happened?
They really didn't know. His mother had worked at the business, and the only clues was the mother had reported... that somebody had called the office in kind of a demanding state, asking to speak with Darius for business. And she had then given him her son's cell phone. And then later when Darius came back into the office, The mother asked him, you know, did you speak with this client, this customer who called? And he said, yes, and I'm going to see him this afternoon. And that was really the only kind of clue that possibly he had gone to meet this person and then disappear. But nobody knew who that person was.
