The tragic case of Blanche Monnier
It was a beautiful day.
And the Paris Attorney General had just received a strange anonymous note.
The note stated;
“Monsieur Attorney General:
I have the honor to inform you of an exceptionally serious occurrence. I speak of a spinster who is locked up in Madame Monnier’s house, half-starved and living on a putrid litter for the past twenty-five years — in a word, in her own filth.”
Blanche Was a Beautiful Woman
Blanche Monnier was a beautiful socialite from Poitiers, France. Blanche came from a well-respected, conservative bourgeois family in Poitiers.
She was born to her aristocratic parents, Madame Louise Monnier and Emile Monnier. And she had a brother, Marcel.
Blanche grew into a renowned attractive young woman.
Soon, she had many potential suitors asking for her hand in marriage.
And her mother Louise pressed her daughter to find a suitable husband among her many suitors.
