The Story of the Spinster

Mademoiselle blanche monier was locked up in a Parisian house for 25 years. Her son and daughter-in-law lived across the street from her home. The police were finally able to search it after receiving an anonymous letter. When they broke down one of the shutters, they found 'a woman lying on a bed covered by repulsively filthy blanket' She has now been released back into society but is said to be wasting away.
