Blanche Monnier was the daughter of an aristocrat family. She disappeared one day not to be seen for 25 years, until she was found by police who had been tipped off anonymously. Her mother had locked her in a dark room, telling her she would be let out when she agreed to marry the man they had set up for her, and not the poor lawyer she had intended on marrying. She was stripped naked and chained to the bed for two decades. Her mother died from a heart attack just days after her horrible actions were exposed, and Blanche spent the remainder of her days in a sanitorium due to the emotional trauma she had experienced.
