Police launched a murder probe two weeks ago after new information came to light.
Human remains, believed to belong to Izabela, were then found in the garden of a home in Normanton, Derbyshire.
Anna Podedworna appeared at Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court today charged with murder.
The 39-year-old is also accused of preventing a lawful burial and perverting the course of justice.
Podedworna spoke only to confirm her name, date of birth and address during the hearing.
She was remanded into custody to next appear at Derby Crown Court on Monday.
Five people have been arrested as part of the murder investigation, including two women aged 39 and 43.
All five have bailed pending further inquiries, Derbyshire Police confirmed.
Izabela came to the UK from Poland in 2009 and worked at the former Cranberry Foods Turkey and Chicken Factory.
Her family reported her missing to Polish police in August 2010 but the report never reached British cops.
Her daughter Kasia, who was nine at the time of her mum’s disappearance, contacted Derbyshire Police in May.
She spoke out after the body was found, telling The Sun: “I definitely want to know the truth as soon as possible.”
Samanatha Shallow, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor in the East Midlands, said: “Following a review of the evidence provided by Derbyshire Constabulary, we have authorised criminal charges in relation to the death of Izabela Zablocka
“Ms Zablocka went missing in August 2010, when she was aged 30. Her body was recovered in Derby on 1 June 2025.
“Anna Podedworna, 39, from Derby, has been charged with her murder. She has also been charged with preventing a lawful and decent burial and perverting the course of justice.
“Our thoughts remain with the family of Ms Zablocka at this time.”
Crimestoppers is offering a £20,000 reward for information, which expires on August 27.
