Disappearance in Jastrzębie-Zdrój

A 31-year-old father, Patryk Siedlecki, and his 4-year-old son, Emil Zielonka, went missing in Jastrzębie-Zdrój on Thursday afternoon. The man was last seen with his son at approximately 17:00 on Thursday, when he went out to a yard with the child in the area of the streets of Wielkopolska, Małopolska, and Beskidzka in Jastrzębie-Zdrój. After stepping out with the child, the pair disappeared, and no further contact was established with either of them. The disappearance prompted the Municipal Police Headquarters in Jastrzębie-Zdrój to launch a search operation.

The disappearance was reported to the Municipal Police Headquarters in Jastrzębie-Zdrój by the man's wife and the child's mother. She informed police officers that she had no contact with her husband or her son after they left for the yard. According to the police, both the father and the child had been missing for several hours before the public communication about the search was issued on Friday morning. The police communication was released on Friday, at which point the two had already been unaccounted for since Thursday.
