BBC World Service, you're listening to assignment. We're in the forest just outside Warsaw in Poland and it's freezing cold and you can probably hear we're walking through thick snow.

Are we getting close now?

I hope there will be a crash.

Right, you're expecting that there might be a cross or something to mark where the body was found.

Oh, there isn't.

I'm on my way to the lonely sport where a troubling discoverer was made.

Oh, it was here.

It was here.

I think it was here.

The body was ablaze.

This is the place where I found Jolanta's body.

The mysterious death of 64-year-old widow Jolanta Brzeska known as Jola was back in 2011.

But today it's come back to Haunt Poland.

What do you think happened to her?

What happened to her?

When Jolanta Brzeska started to burn again.

Right.

They managed to establish that she was still alive when her body was set on fire.

Exactly. She was murdered. Yes, I'm sure.

No one's ever been charged over Jolanta's death and we might never truly know how she came to die.

But we do know that when she died she was embroiled in a property scandal that since become big news.

It's a controversy that tells us much about Poland's tragic history of war and dictatorship and its modern day problems.
