CONCERNS are rising for the safety of a 30-year-old mother of three who was last seen returning to her rented family home in Crozon Park early on Sunday morning following a night out socialising .A man was still being questioned over the disappearance by Gardaí at Ballymote Garda Station as The Sligo Champion went to press on Monday evening.
He was arrested in Crozon on Sunday night some time after Natalia Karaczyn was reported missing by her sister, Magdalena McMorrow at 11.15 am.
Mrs Karaczyn, who has been living in Sligo since 2014 and married Rafal Karaczyn in 2012, went out on Saturday night socialising.
It is believed she went to the cinema and later to the Garavogue bar and then on to a house party in the Crozon/Caltragh area.
Magdalena said she had seen CCTV footage from the Crozon Inn which shows her sister walking home around 6.30am and approximately 50 metres from her home.
Magdalena told The Sligo Champion that she was very concerned and that Natalia had never done anything like this before.
“We are hoping for the best, that she will come home. She has never done this before and is very responsible. She would always come home to her children,” said Magdalena.
She revealed that the CCTV showed a man walking with Natalia in the direction of her home and then going in opposite directions as they got closer to her home.
It is believed Gardaí have made contact with this man and he has been ruled out of enquiries into the mum’s disappearance.
Natalia and her sister come from Gorzow, Wielkoplski in North West Poland and their mother is expected to arrive in Sligo today.
Magdalena has been living in Sligo for the past 12 years. Natalia has worked previously in a MACE supermarket but at present was working in the home, looking after her three children whom she doted upon.
Magdalena said the response of the Gardaí had been “amazing” and they had organised searches and conducted enquiries and interviews almost immediately.
“They took the situation seriously from the very beginning,” she said.
The Garda heli- copter joined in the searches for the missing woman on Monday morning.
