Rose Sieniawski, 59, of Allentown, Pennsylvania, was found dead on February 14, 2016. Her decomposing body was discovered stuffed inside a recycling bin at an apartment complex two blocks from her home after a maintenance worker noticed a foul odor from several trash bags. An autopsy found multiple gunshot wounds and the manner of death was ruled homicide.

Investigators from Allentown police and the Lehigh County Homicide Task Force identified 62-year-old Walter Bratvold of Allentown as the prime suspect. Bratvold and Sieniawski had been in a relationship. Coworkers said Sieniawski had not been to work since February 9 and had not called in; surveillance footage showed her leaving work with Bratvold on the night of February 9. When police attempted to serve a warrant at Bratvold’s apartment on February 16, an exchange of gunfire injured a detective and Bratvold was taken into custody. A .22-caliber revolver recovered from the apartment was tested and matched the bullet recovered from Sieniawski, and shell casings at the scene were consistent with that revolver.

Does anyone have information about Sieniawski’s last days, her routine, or her movements on and after February 9, 2016?
