Documentary series "Without a Trace. Anna" explores tragic case linked to postpartum depression

The Latvian TV documentary investigation series "Without a Trace" (Bez pēdām) has released a new episode titled "Anna", focusing on a case that shook the entire country in 2023.

What happened

On the morning of November 1, 2023, at around 9:00, a woman born in 1989 left her home together with her infant, who was only a few months old. Neither of them ever returned. News of their disappearance sparked widespread public concern and attention across Latvia at the time.

Many details remain unclear

According to the show's creators, the story is closely tied to the topic of postpartum depression — a condition that can affect women after childbirth and sometimes goes unnoticed or undiagnosed in time. The episode aims to raise awareness of this issue through a concrete and tragic example.

Further details about how events unfolded after the disappearance of the woman and her infant, as well as the course of the investigation, are presented in the episode itself.
