Behind the 25-year disappearance of a beautiful lady and the truth shocked France
When you hear the tragic story of the young lady of France below, you may not believe that stopping the blind love of parents is sometimes so harsh and cruel.
Blanche Monnier is a beautiful lady with a beautiful appearance in the 19th century. She and her noble family live in Poitiers, France, just 4 hours from Paris. Thinking that the life of a wealthy lady of wealth will be filled with velvet, happy to enjoy blessed her whole life but doubting that only because of love, Blanche had to pay a terrible price in hell.
The strange disappearance of Lady Blanche surprised many people.
At the age of 25, Blanche fell in love with a poor lawyer. The lovers fell in love passionately but very quickly, Mother Blanche, Louise Monnier discovered and vehemently opposed this love. Considering that the poor and unpopular lawyer, the "guardian post" , was worthy of Blanche's high status, Mrs. Louise used all means to prevent them from meeting. Of course, all efforts of the mother were unsuccessful, Blanche remained steadfast with his love of choice.
By 1876, Blanche suddenly disappeared without trace. Even close friends or lawyers don't know where she went. Blanche's mother and brother struggled for a while after her disappearance and they also had to get used to the truth. For years, people no longer mentioned Blanche. The disappearance of the rich lady has become an unanswered mystery, until 1901, the Attorney General in Paris suddenly received a strange handwritten letter. The anonymous letter denounced an awful truth.
The anonymous letter denounced the incident to the Attorney General.
'To the Attorney General, I would like to inform you of a terrible incident. There was a husbandless woman imprisoned in Madame Monnier's house. For the past 25 years, she has been pretending to be a ghost, starving and dirty on her own rubbish and waste '.
The letter of denunciation made the police force bewildered because no one could believe the Monnier noble lady could do such a terrible thing. From past to present, Ms. Louise has always been a respected person in Paris, she is an aristocracy and has been awarded many awards for her tireless contribution to the community.
The police team sent to inspect Monnier's house has been chased away by their families. However, the police officers were fierce, pushing the door into the house with force. They scoured the house and found a tiny room smelling horribly on the second floor. When the door opened, the police almost vomited from the intense smell of air coming from the damp and dark rooms. Black ink like that. In the midst of the litter, they were horrified to see a thin, bony woman without a cloth covering her rotten cushion. No one else, that's Blanche.
No one doubted, Blanche was imprisoned in a dark and dirty dark room for 25 years.
'Around Blanche is surrounded by waste, food has rot. We also saw the shells of oysters, and the worms crawled in her bed. The air was unbearable and the smell of the room was so horrible that we could not stay longer to investigate , 'a policeman was present at the room.
For 25 years, Blanche has not gone anywhere but been held captive by his mother and brother in his own home. In the tiny dark room without a window, Blanche had no contact with anyone but his mother, brother and maid who occasionally came to throw her some leftovers. Blanche could not even wear clothes, did not bathe. They imprisoned Blanche and demanded that she give up her love before being released, but until 1885, her lover died, Blanche continued to be imprisoned in a dungeon.
For more than two decades, the poor daughter who lies only in one place, eating, sleeping or going to the toilet is also in bed. The dark earthly hell didn't need any more violence to turn a beautiful flower that once became exhausted both physically and mentally. Gradually Blanche became a madman. When rescued and taken to the hospital, Blanche weighed only 24 kilograms, almost unable to speak and was very scared of the sun - which she had not seen for 25 years.
Blanche's story covered the newspaper as well as being the subject of many books and documentaries.
The testimony of Ms. Louise and her son to the police said that Blanche was mad, mentally unstable, so he often screamed angrily. However, when the police contacted Blanche, they found her quite calm, and even seemed to be happy to take a bath.
Ms. Louise after being arrested, had a heart attack 15 days later and died. Some people say that she died because she felt so guilty and regretted by the terrible things she caused to her daughter. In the book The Sequestered Woman of Poitiers: An Unprecedented Affair writes about Blanche's life that states that her mother came before she changed her will, leaving the entire estate to her inherited daughter.
About Blanche's brother's part after being brought to trial, he received a sentence of 15 months in prison. He later appealed on the pretext that his mother was a family ruler and he tried his best to help his sister but failed, nor did he commit any violence against his sister. In the end, the trial gave him innocence. This is a decision that makes the public angry.
Blanche forever cannot heal mental injury.
After a period of treatment in the hospital, Blanche gradually recovered, regained some weight and could say a few words. However, mental injuries for many years made Blanche never able to become a normal person again. She was brought to live at the sanatorium in Bois and spent 12 peaceful years before leaving her life in 1913.
