Body of missing mother of two discovered in Frýdek forest
Police found the corpse of 38-year-old Jana Š. in a forest near Frýdek-Místek after a weeks-long search for the missing mother of two.
The search for Jana Š., a 38-year-old mother of two who vanished in early September, ended tragically when police discovered her body in a forest on the outskirts of Frýdek-Místek. Her family announced the discovery and indicated she had committed suicide. CCTV recordings showed her walking into the forest, aiding investigators in narrowing the search area.
Authorities noted she had been in a poor mental state before disappearing and had sought help on her own. The operation deployed K-9 units, divers, drones and extensive sweeps of parks, waterways, mountain cabins and other potential hideouts, and involved interviews with dozens of acquaintances.
