[The Financial News] A woman in her 30s, an Austrian beauty influencer who had gone missing, was found dead in a forest in the Republic of Slovenia. The perpetrator was revealed to be her ex-boyfriend.
On the 1st, international media outlets including the Daily Mail reported that Stephanie Pfeiffer, a 31-year-old beauty influencer from Austria, was found dead in a forest in Slovenia.
Investigators stated that her ex-boyfriend, Mr. A (31), confessed to strangling Pfeiffer, placing her body in a suitcase, and abandoning it in a Slovenian forest.
Pfeiffer was last seen in front of her home in Austria on November 23. She disappeared after that, and when she failed to appear at a scheduled photo shoot the next day, her family and colleagues reported her missing to the police.
When police searched Pfeiffer’s home, only her pet dog was found, and her mobile phone was turned off.
Following the investigation, Mr. A became a suspect. Police arrested him on November 24 in a casino parking lot near the border. He was subsequently extradited to Austria.
According to local media, after arriving home by taxi, Pfeiffer sent messages to a friend saying, 'I think someone is on the stairs' and 'I saw a dark figure.'
Police have also arrested two members of Mr. A’s family in connection with the case and are investigating their involvement and possible motives.
