She also told of her heartbreak at finally learning what had happened to Ms Zablocka, who was 30 when she was killed. The judge told how Ms Zablocka 'presented as a man' and Podedworna 'preferred to be in relationships with men'. Ms Zablocka would speak to her daughter three times a week. Officers visited and spoke on the phone to Podedworna who said she did not know where Ms Zablocka was. Prosecutors said this was the 'tipping point' – the following day she 'cracked' and told police where Ms Zablocka's remains were.
