Blanche Monnier was a French socialite from a bourgeois family in Poitier and was renowned for her beauty.

In 1874, the 25-year-old wanted to marry an older, "penniless lawyer," but her mother, Louise, objected. So along with her son Marcel, they locked Blanche away in the attic for 25 years.

On May 23, 1901, the Attorney General of Paris received this anonymous note:
"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."

The police rescued Blanche and were horrified by what they saw. Her attic prison was filled with old moldy food, f***s smeared on the wall, and a bug infestation around the bed. The room was so vile that the authorities could not properly investigate.

Louise and Marcel Monnier were arrested, but Louise died 15 days later from an illness she allegedly contracted after an angry mob conjugated outside her home. Marcel was convicted but eventually acquitted after winning his appeal.

She was in really rough shape when rescued; she weighed 55 lbs. Blanche, after recovery, was diagnosed with the following disorders: schizophrenia, anorexia nervosa, exhibitionism, and co*******ia. She spent the rest of her life in a mental hospital and died on October 13, 1913, at 64.
