Her disappearance spurred locals to form a group called "Finding Anna Maciejewska," which held a vigil and launched a GoFundMe campaign to assist in the search.

And now the group is looking for more signatories on a petition urging the Chester County District Attorney's Office to convene a grand jury in Maciejewska's murder investigation.

When she was last seen in April 2017, she was driving driving a navy blue Audi A4 vehicle with a Pennsylvania license plate HTF2919.

However, Pennsylvania State Police located Maciejewska's blue vehicle on May 8, 2017 in the Charlestown Meadows overflow parking lot on Ashtree Drive.

State police searched her Malvern home July 20, 2017.

Maciejewska's husband Alan Gould previously allowed the home to be searched, but has since barred investigators from entering the home and hired an attorney.

State Police were notified about Maciejewska's disappearance after she failed to show up for work on Monday, April 10 and Tuesday, April 11.

In late May 2017, her brother-in-law from Poland ventured to the US to meet with authorities on the mysterious disappearance.

Philly.com reports Maciejewska was to visit her family in Poland about a week prior to her disappearance, but canceled her plans just days before via text message that had errors in Polish, something her family said stood out to them considering Polish was Maciejewska's first language.

She is 5-feet 4-inches tall, weighs about 160 pounds and has hazel eyes and blonde hair.

Authorities ask anyone with information about Anna's disappearance to call the Pennsylvania State Police at (610) 486-6280.
