The ex-boyfriend has confessed to strangling the 31-year-old. Her father and brother have also been arrested.
The body of Austrian influencer Stefanie Pieper, 31, who had been missing since November 23rd, was discovered last Friday hidden inside a suitcase in a forest in Slovenia. According to Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung, Pieper’s ex-boyfriend, also 31, confessed to strangling her and subsequently led police to the location where he had abandoned the remains.
Pieper was last seen on Sunday. After returning home from a Christmas party, she reportedly sent a WhatsApp message to friends confirming her safe arrival. She then sent a second message expressing concern that she was being followed as she walked up the stairs to her apartment. Family and colleagues contacted authorities when the influencer failed to appear for a scheduled photoshoot and could not be reached.
The former partner was extradited to Austria on Friday after allegedly guiding police to the location of his ex-victim’s body. His father and brother have also been taken into custody.
