Human remains believed to belong to Izabela Helena Zablocka, a Polish woman who disappeared in August 2010, were discovered in Normanton, Derby, during a search related to an ongoing murder inquiry.

The remains were found in the garden of a property on Princes Street, where police had focused their search efforts.

This murder investigation was initiated on May 26, 2025, following new information that emerged about her disappearance.

Four individuals have been arrested in connection with the case, including a 39-year-old woman who was re-arrested on June 2, 2025, on suspicion of murder.

The identification process for the remains is expected to be lengthy, and updates will be provided as they become available.

Detective Inspector Kane Martin confirmed that Izabela's family has been informed of the discovery, emphasizing their well-being as a priority for the investigation team.

Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information leading to a conviction in the case, available until August 27, 2025.

The police are appealing for information from the public, particularly from anyone who may have interacted with Izabela in July or August 2010, as they may have critical insights into her disappearance.

At the time of her disappearance, no missing person report was filed with Derbyshire police or other UK authorities.

Izabela had worked at the former Cranberry Foods factory in Scropton and lost contact with her family shortly after moving to the UK in 2009.

Local residents are encouraged to speak with police officers who will remain in the area to address community concerns.

Izabela was 30 years old at the time she disappeared and had moved to the UK from Poland in 2009.
