Gardenia Zakrzewski Johansson
The Scottsdale woman under investigation by state authorities for leaving her toddler in the car this week while shopping at Neiman Marcus had left her child unattended the week before while she went jewelry shopping in north Scottsdale and later went to Starbucks with her dog, according to a police report.
Gardenia Zakrzewski Johansson, 39, shopped calmly for about 20 minutes at Hodson Jewelry Gallery, 8924 E. Pinnacle Peak Road, before telling employees “I have a baby in my car, can you watch him while I go to Starbucks?” according to the report.
A jewelry store employee contacted Scottsdale police on Wednesday after seeing Johansson’s mugshot in the newspaper -- the same day the woman made headlines for leaving her 2-year-old boy in the care of valet parking attendants at Scottsdale Fashion Square.
The statements of three employees who said they witnessed the jewelry store incident on Dec. 4 were taken in the report, which was released today.
One of the employees said she was “God smacked” by the question and asked the woman, “Where are you going?”
Zakrzewski Johansson then turned and left, according the report. She stopped by her car and picked up her dog and headed to Starbucks.
The child was without care for 30 to 40 minutes, the report states.

It's time for "Daddy" to leave the gold digger - and take the boy with him.
The perp's name sounds different, perhaps Eastern European or Russian? Is she a naturalized citizen?
Middle name is Polish. The last name is probably Norwegian.
I think the last name could be her married name, no? I was thinking mail order bride..., but could be way off base.
EXCELLENT question.
