Stefanie Pieper's Murder: New Details Emerge

0:00This is Corey, with a story with entertainment and celebrity news today. Power by the Daily News Now New details have emerged in the death of 32-year-old makeup artist Stephanie Piper from Austria. Officials now say an autopsy could not pinpoint exactly when she died. She might have been alive when placed inside a suitcase, or she could have been strangled first. Stephanie went missing on November 23 after skipping a photo shoot. A colleague reported her absence, which led police to focus on her ex-boyfriend as the main suspect. He was arrested in Slovenia and extradited to Gras, where he confessed four days later. That confession guided search teams to her body, buried in a forest inside that suitcase. Fans have flooded her social media with messages of grief. One commented on how society fails, women leaving relationships, vowing to speak out louder for victims like her. Her ex-boyfriend remains in custody as investigators continue piecing together the timeline. Authorities have confirmed she suffered violence before death, but more tests are ongoing.
