The story of Anna.
Anna was the kind of little girl everyone instantly liked.
She had that glow, the same spark her mother Marion carried, the type of charm that made
people feel comfortable around her.
She wasn't shy at all, in fact, she was the exact opposite.
She trusted everyone.
If a stranger smiled at her, she smiled back.
If someone stretched out their arms, she would run toward them.
It wasn't fearlessness exactly, more like innocence wrapped up in curiosity.
And that, sadly, was both her greatest strength and her biggest vulnerability.
People used to say Anna was a carbon copy of Marion.
Same eyes, same playful attitude, same way of turning a dull room into something warm just by being in it.
But here's where the cracks began to show, Marion, blinded by her love for her daughter,
didn't fully realize that raising a child in the bar scene wasn't exactly the safest or healthiest environment.
She thought she was giving Anna everything she never had as a kid, love, attention, freedom,
but attention, in Marion's case was complicated.
Because yes, she loved her daughter fiercely, but Marion was also a single mom working nights.
Nights behind the bar, pouring drinks, laughing with clients, coming home when the rest of the world was still half asleep.
That meant days were for sleeping, not for being awake and present.
So little Anna, at an age when kids usually rely on their parents for just about everything,
was already forced into independence.
Imagine a seven-year-old waking herself up, making her own breakfast, dragging her tiny backpack
to school, and then walking home to an empty apartment.
That was Anna's routine.
Marion thought it was teaching her strength, resilience, maybe even discipline.
In reality, it was exhausting for the girl.
By the time May 1980 rolled around, Anna had had enough.
She was only seven, but the weight of her grown-up responsibilities was too heavy.
On the night of May 5, mother and daughter had a huge argument.
The fight was about the same topic that had been simmering under the surface for a long time, Anna's routine.
Marion insisted her daughter needed to be independent, needed to take care of herself.
needed to manage things like an adult. But Anna finally broke. She raised her voice, something unusual for her,
and told her mom she couldn't take it anymore, that it wasn't fair, that she was just a kid.
For Marion, though, this sounded ungrateful. In her eyes, she had sacrificed everything to give her
daughter a roof over her head, food on the table, and stability. Compared to Marion's own traumatic
childhood, this life seemed like paradise. She couldn't understand why her daughter was angry.
So, after the shouting, Marion simply went to bed, convinced Anna would get over it by morning and carry on as
always. But the next day, when Marion woke up in the afternoon, Anna was gone. At first, she thought
nothing of it. Maybe Anna had gone to school as usual, maybe she was playing with friends, maybe she was
simply late. But as the hours ticked by and still no sign of her daughter, Marion started to panic.
She asked around the neighborhood, stopped by friends' houses, checked with people at the bar.
That's when she learned the chilling truth, Anna hadn't gone to school at all that day.
Now desperate, Marion rushed to the police station to report her daughter missing.
What followed was a frantic search. Everyone joined in, clients from Tipasa, Marian's
friends, neighbors, even strangers who had heard about the case. They scoured the streets,
combed through parks, questioned people at bus stops. The city felt smaller, tighter, like every
corner held the possibility of Anna showing up with her cheeky smile. But night turned into morning,
and still no trace of her. At first, Marion clung to the idea that Anna was just rebelling.
Maybe, after their fight, the girl had decided to skip school, wander around, teach her mother a lesson by worrying her.
Marion didn't let her mind go to darker places.
She refused to believe her daughter was in danger.
That illusion shattered the very next day.
On May 6, the police knocked on Marion's door with devastating news, Anna had been found.
But not alive.
The story of how they found it.
her was even more horrifying than the fact itself. A woman had walked into the police station
earlier that day and told officers that her fiancé had murdered the little girl. At first,
it sounded too surreal to believe. But the woman knew details, details she could only know if the story
were true. She described how her fiancé lured Anna, how he kept her, how he ended her life,
and most disturbingly, where he had left the body.
The police followed her directions, and sure enough, Anna was right there, exactly where the woman had said she would be.
The fiancé in question was Klaus Grabowski, a 35-year-old butcher who lived near the Tipesa bar.
Marion knew him. He was a client, not a regular, but familiar enough. He had been around, shared drinks, smiled, seemed like a normal guy.
To most people, he looked harmless.
But what no one knew, or at least, what no one talked about, was Klaus's past.
In the 1970s, Klaus had been convicted of abusing two young girls.
The crimes were so severe that he had been sentenced to prison.
At some point, he was given a choice, stay in prison indefinitely or undergo chemical castration
to curb his sexual urges.
Klaus chose the latter.
On paper, that was supposed to make him,
safe to rejoin society. But what the system didn't account for was that Klaus had started
secretly taking hormones to counteract the effects of the castration. He bragged to some that
his sex drive was returning. So here was this man, living in plain sight, with a horrifying
past hidden beneath a friendly surface. He had a fiancé, was planning a wedding, played the role
of a normal adult. But inside, he hadn't changed. And when he met up, he met up,
Anna, with her trustful nature and her radiant smile, something dark stirred in him.
At his house, Klaus had kittens.
Cute, innocent, harmless kittens.
And that's how he lured Anna.
He told her to come see them, to play with them.
For a little girl who loved animals, this was irresistible.
She followed him inside.
That first time, nothing happened.
He simply watched her, studied her,
gained her trust. She left unharmed, probably excited about the visit. But that was only the
beginning. To be continued.
