Blanche Monnier, a well-known French socialite, vanished in 1876. But she wasn’t missing at all, for twenty-six years she had been locked inside a room of her family’s home.

Blanche was 25 when she fell in love with an older lawyer named Emile. To say her mother, Louise Monnier, disapproved of the relationship would be an understatement, calling it beneath the family’s status. When Blanche refused to give him up, Louise took matters into her own hands.

A room in the upstairs attic was prepared, the windows sealed, the door locked, and from that moment on Blanche disappeared from public life. The Monnier family continued on with their lives, attending events, hosting guests, and accepting sympathy for their “missing” daughter.

In 1901, an unsigned letter reached officials in Paris, urging them to look closer at the Monnier home. When police finally searched the upper floor, they uncovered Blanche alive inside the locked room a discovery that quickly made front page news.

Blanche's mother Louise Monnier was taken into custody but did not survive long after the arrest. Her brother Marcel Monnier faced charges, though the case was later dismissed on appeal. As for Blanche, she spent the remainder of her days under professional care, at the Hospital de Poitiers less than a mile from the house where she had been held for decades.

It's been a busy week for Joseph Duggar and his wife, Kendra.

It all began on March 19th, 2026, when 30-year-old Joseph (the seventh eldest of the family) was taken into custody in connection with allegations said to have happened during a 2020 vacation to Panama City Beach. You already know where this is going.

Within 24 hours, a second case surfaced out of Arkansas involving his wife Kendra. Yesterday authorities were seen waiting at the gate on Duggar family property in Tontitown, Arkansas (the same home featured in 19 Kids and Counting). They were there for to arrest Kendra on four counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree false imprisonment, however after about an hour, they were reportedly told through the gate speaker that she would turn herself in.

So that's means in addition to his Florida case, Joseph Duggar is now also facing counts in his hometown alongside Kendra, who did in fact turn herself in that same day. She was booked and immediately released.
